THE TEST TEAM
8226; Full credit to Skipper Sourav Ganguly for playing Ranji but it doesn8217;t seem to have improved his form. He scored 5 in Bengal8217;s second innings after a painstaking 27 in the first
8226; Another disappointment: Mohammed Kaif scored 12 against Punjab before being caught in the gully
8226; Ashish Nehra hasn8217;t had much to do of late but he looked sharp early in Gujarat8217;s second innings, getting opener Nilesh Modi caught behind in the very first over. He followed it up soon after and ended the day with 2/57
8226; Similarly, Ajit Agarkar vent his frustrations on the Railways batsmen, taking 5/96 to bowl defending champions Mumbai to a good position
SOUTHERN HOPEFULS
8226; Tamil Nadu have no batting representatives in Team India but they8217;ve been knocking on the doors for some time now. Against Hyderabad five of their better known names put on a grand display. S Badrinath 67, S Sharath 105, S Sriram 57 and Hemang Badani 55 not out all played solid knocks to ensure that India8217;s middle order has long-term prospects. And opener Vidyut Sivaramakrishnan slammed a fine 130 earlier in the innings, though he is not one of the known contenders for the opening slot beside Virender Sehwag.
