This is the best domestic cricket match I have seen till date. This match had everything .. Wonderful bowling from both the teams .. Great batting skills and fighting attitude shown by two 20 year lads from Karnataka and moreover the aggression shown by both the teams( heated exchanges and wild celebrations) made the match very interesting.

This was a complete match for me where the bowlers had ample opportunity to exploit the match. Finally Mumbai held their nerves to win by 6 runs. All the first 3 days I saw the highlights and today morning did not even miss a single ball.

The best thing in this match was the selectors gave a standing ovation to Manish Pandey when he got out ...144 in a final against the domestic stalwarts that to in a second innings chasing a target was not easy ...For more information on that knock ..

India in double trouble at 213/8 at stumps against Bangladesh.

I guess Sehwag must be wondering why did he made statement of Bangladesh being mediocre side. He has to eat his words now looking at how their bowlers rolled over our players.

Can't be - youtube only has recorded videos. I don't think they have live streaming video as an option.
there are several other video sites that offer live streaming video.
And it really doesn't take much for IPL to have their own streaming server and relay!

Feroz Shah Kotla ( cricket stadium in ND ) banned by ICC for a year. The good news is that they haven't banned the ground for 2 years as then Delhi couldn't have even hosted a single World Cup match.
Hope they turn around and create a good pitch for a change and for betterment of the game.

Anyone noticed the squad for the BPXI v/s South Africa match? What brilliant selection, the batting looks really promising. Courtesy cricinfo, the squad

Board President's XI: Abhinav Mukund, Parthiv Patel (wk), Ajinkya Rahane, Rohit Sharma (capt), Manish Pandey, Cheteshwar Pujara, Abhishek Nayar, Piyush Chawla, R Ashwin, R Vinay Kumar, Abhimanyu Mithun, Shikhar Dhawan, Umesh Yadav, Manpreet Gony.

The best part is that there are no oldies and test discards in the team (except Parthiv). I will be watching the names in bold very closely

Anyone watched the Aussie-Pak ODI today!
Funny to see Afridi biting the ball - what on earth was he thinking!!

YouTube - Afridi bites ball during Aussie win

Shame on him! Being left out of the IPL seems justified now. Where are the people who were shouting for them now ?

Gee, he would have brought so much more to the table

So Badrinath makes his debut finally.

Saha is lucky to make it so early, helped by the fact that he was included in the initial 15 as a reserve keeper. While Cheteshwar Pujara must be disappointed.

West Zone successfully chase 500+ runs.

Y Pathan - 210 not out off 190 balls. The Ranji Trophy Final and now this.

SZ dropped Pathan not once not twice but 4 times. I am not taking away any credits from Pathan but through out the match the bowling from both the teams were not up to the mark.

Ranji trophy final was more interesting as it was a fitting contest between the bat and ball.
