Mantri-KPL 2010 : Finals : Mangalore United reigns supreme

Finals: Bangalore Provident Rural vs Mangalore United at Bangalore on 29.09.10: Mangalore United won by 44 runs

The finals provided an anti climax to the tournament. Chasing a modest 113, Provident crashed to the lowest total of the tournament – 68 – leaving Mangalore United victors by 44 runs.

Mangalore United who opted to bat first after winning the toss posted 113 for 9 in 20 overs. Nidhuvan Kumar {20} and KK Nair {21} were the main contributors to the total. Nidhuvan Kumar and R Jonathan added 25 runs for the third wicket was the substance of Mangalore’s innings.

Three run outs late in the innings to step up the scoring rate did not help much in Mangalore’s innings,

What followed in the second half of the match was a complete disaster. It was a parade of batsmen walking back to the pavilion as the spin duo UB Patel {4 for 11} and KK Nair {4 for 13} mesmerized Provident.

Provident started well by putting on 32 runs for the first wicket, but the exit of opener MK Manjunath saw them losing the rest of the wickets for the addition of 36 runs. Manjunath {14} and VST Naidu {22} were the only two batsmen to reach double figures. VST Naidu saw his team mates returning to the pavilion, while he was stubborn at the other end. He departed the scene at the score of 59 and his wicket was the eighth wicket to fall in Provident’s innings. Nine runs later it was all over for the defending champions as they were shot out for 68.

Summarised scores : Mangalore United : 112 for 9 in 20.0 overs {Nidhuvan Kumar 20, KK Nair 21, A Jagan 2 for 21, AU Shetty 2 for 20} won against Bangalore Provident Rural : 68 all out in 16.1 overs {VST Naidu 22, UB Patel 4 for 11, KK Nair 4 for 13} by 44 runs

Semi Finals Two: Bangalore Provident Rural vs Malnad Gladiators at Bangalore on 29.09.10. Bangalore Provident Rural won by six wickets

Put into bat, Malnad Gladiators could muster 157 for five in its 20.0 overs. It could not bat freely and score as much they wanted. Injured KC Avinash batting at number three made 21, occupied the crease for 43 minutes facing 30 deliveries with no fours and no sixes. His stay at the crease has an adverse effect on the batting of the team. Opener Sanjay Kumar scored 47 in 38 balls with five fours and two sixes and occupied the crease for 40 minutes. Skipper Ganesh Satish made 34 in 27 balls containing four fours and a six in a stay of 37 minutes at the crease. Though K Gowtham {18 in 10 balls with two fours and a six} and RR Bhatkal {26 not out in 12 balls with 12 balls with four fours and six} scored runs in a late order flourish, it was too late for Malnad Gladiators to put up a match-winning total. Sanjay Kumar and KC Avinash added 64 runs for the second wicket in 9.3 overs was another contributing factor for Malnad Gladiators’ total. AU Shetty with 2 for 18 was the most successful bowler for Provident.

Chasing 158 for a win, Provident openers – MK Manjunath and VST Naidu put on 62 runs for the first wicket and the victory was never in doubt for Provident. The first wicket partnership was consolidated by yet another useful stand of 47 runs for the fourth wicket between B Akhil and AA Joshi.

MK Manjunath {30 in 29 balls with two fours and two sixes}, VST Naidu {44 runs in 35 balls with six fours and one six} and skipper B Akhil {45 not out in 22 balls with four fours and three sixes} contributed to Provident’s comfortable win.

As many as three bowlers – K Gowtham {1 for 42}, SK Moinuddin {1 for 38} and RR Bhatkal {1 for 35} – conceded 35 plus runs, which did not help Gladiators’ cause.

Gladiators gain in this edition, was its progress to Semi finals. They were placed last in the first edition of the first edition {It had lost five game and won two games to end with four points and NRR of -0.122}

Summarised scores: Malnad Gladiators 157 for 5 in 20.0 overs {Sanjay Kumar 47, Ganesh Satish 34, RR Bhatkal 26 not out, AU Shetty 2 for 18 lost to Bangalore Provident Rural 158 for 4 {B Akhil 45 not out, VST Naidu 44, MK Manjunath 30} by six wickets

Belgavi Panthers who were inserted in could manage a meager 113 for 9 in its 20.0 overs failed to defend it and lost the game to Bangalore Provident Rural by six wickets,

Panthers could not pace its innings as it wanted to as it lost its wickets at regular intervals.

BMV Uthappa {27} and CK Akshay {20} were the two batsmen who crossed 20 run mark. AU Shetty reaped rich harvest with 4 for 12, the best bowling figures in the second edition of the tournament so far in terms of runs conceded. B Akhil was a good foil to him by capturing 2 for 25.

Amit Verma fell at 96 and Provident coasted to a seven wickets win. Amit Verma scored 34 in 35 balls with five fours and SK Jain remained not out on 51 compiled in 47 balls containing five fours

Ind vs Aus – 2010 : Approaching milestones ahead of the test series

Ind vs Aus – 2010 : Approaching milestones ahead of the test series

Even though it is a two test series, plenty of records are to be re written by both the teams. Crickick.com has made an extensive research on this special topic and brings the same to its viewers on the eve of the test series. Read on ……………

India and Australia are scheduled to play two tests in October 2010. The venues are Mohali and Bangalore. Mohali test is played from 01.10.10 to 05.10.10, while Bangalore test is played from 09.10.10 to 13.10.10

Prior to the start of the series, SM Katich and MJ Clarke have an aggregate of 978 and 967 runs against India. They require 22 and 37 runs to complete 1000 runs against India. If they get them they would become the eighth and ninth batsman to total 1000 plus runs against India

ML Hayden, RT Ponting and DC Boon share the record of most hundreds by an Australian batsman against India. One more hundred to RT Ponting will be his seventh hundred and with it he would own the record of most hundreds by an Australian batsman against India

RT Ponting would be playing his 25th test against India when he appears for Australia at Bangalore, the second test of the series. He would earn the distinction of becoming the first Australian cricketer to appear in 25 tests against India

VVS Laxman would be playing his 25th test when he appears at Mohali, the first test of the series. He would become the third Indian cricketer to appear in 25 or more tests against Australia. Others are SR Tendulkar {30} and R Dravid {27}. {Note – SR Tendulkar and R Dravid’s appearances include Mohali test}

VVS Laxman would go past two other Indian cricketers – GR Viswanath and DB Vengsarkar – who have played 24 tests against Australia

R Dravid needs two more innings for his 50 innings against Australia. If he plays those two innings, he would become the second Indian batsmen to play 50 plus innings against Australia. SR Tendulkar has played 55 innings prior to the start of the series.

R Dravid has an aggregate of 1837 runs prior to the start of the series. He requires 163 runs for his 2000 run aggregate against Australia. Should he get them he would become the third Indian batsman to total 2000 plus runs against Australia. SR Tendulkar {2748} and VVS Laxman {2204} have scored 2000 plus runs prior to the start of the series.

SR Tendulkar and R Dravid have scored eleven half centuries against Australia. A half century to any of them would earn them the record of most half centuries by an Indian batsman against Australia

Prior to the start of the series, VVS Laxman has scored ten half century and one more half century to VVS Laxman with no half centuries to SR Tendulkar and R Dravid would make VVS Laxman to share the record of most half centuries with SR Tendulkar and R Dravid who have scored eleven half centuries

Prior to the start of the series RT Ponting has scored four ducks against India. One more duck to him would make him the third Australian batsman to score five or more ducks against India. B Lee {06] and SK Warne {05} are the other batsmen who have scored five or more ducks against India

SR Tendulkar, Zaheer Khan and Harbhajan Singh have scored four ducks prior to the start of the series. One more duck to each of them would give them five ducks which would make them the third, fourth and fifth Indian batsman to score five more ducks against Australia. AB Agarkar {08} and BS Chandrashekhar {06} are the other two Indian batsmen who have scored five or more ducks.

RT Ponting has captained Australia in nine tests against India prior to the start of this series. Mohali test would be his tenth test, he would equal the record held by RB Simpson, and SR Waugh who have captained Australia in ten tests against India RT Ponting would become the fourth captain to lead in ten or more tests against India. Others are – AR Border {11}, RB Simpson {10} and SR Waugh {10}

By leading Australia against India in the second test at Bangalore, RT Ponting would share the record with AR Border who has led Australia against India in eleven tests.

SR Tendulkar has played 29 tests against Australia prior to the start of the series. Mohali test would be his 30th test against Australia. He would become the third Indian batsman to play 30 plus tests against specific opposition. Others are – SM Gavaskar – 38 tests against England and GR Viswanath – 30 tests against England.

SR Tendulkar would become the first Indian cricketer to play 30 tests against Australia. He would become the 23rd Cricketer to play 30 or more tests against Australia. The break up of 22 cricketers read thus – 18 England cricketers and 04 West Indian cricketers.

Prior to the start of the series, V Sehwag has scored nine fifties against Australia {03 C plus 06 HC}. He needs one more fifty for his tenth fifty. He then would become the sixth Indian batsman to score ten or more fifties against Australia. Other batsmen who have score ten or more fifties prior to the start of the series are – SR Tendulkar {21}, VVS Laxman {16}, GR Viswanath {13}, R Dravid {13} and SM Gavaskar {12}.

Harbhajan Singh is on par with Kapil Dev with 79 wickets against Australia prior to the start of the series. One more wicket for Harbhajan Singh would give him his 80th wicket against Australia and he would occupy the second place among the Indian bowlers who have captured 75 plus wickets against Australia. A Kumble with 111 wickets occupies the first place.

MS Dhoni requires one more dismissal behind the stumps to complete 25 dismissals against Australia.

Prior to the start of the series, V Sehwag has an aggregate of 1400 runs against Australia. He requires 100 more runs for his 1500 runs against Australia. If he gets them, he would become the sixth Indian batsman to total 1500 plus runs against Australia. Others who have 1500 plus runs prior to the start of the series are – SR Tendulkar {2748}, VVS Laxman {2204}, R Dravid {1837} and SM Gavaskar {1550}

RT Ponting has scored 12 half centuries against India and requires one more half century to be on par with AR Border who has 13 half centuries. If he gets two half centuries he would be on par with ML Hayden who has 14 half centuries.

SM Katich and MJ Clarke have scored eight half centuries and requires two more half centuries for the 10th half century against India. If they get them they would join the company of ML Hayden {14}, AR Border {13}, RT Ponting {12} and RB Simpson {10} who have scored ten or more half centuries against India prior to the start of the series.

VVS Laxman has taken 29 catches against Australia and one more catch would give him an aggregate of 30 catches. He would then become the second Indian fieldsman to pouch 30 plus catches against Australia after R Dravid who has an aggregate of 44 catches prior to the start of the series.

RT Pontng has pouched 28 catches against India and one more catch would put him on par with ME Waugh who has 29 catches. Two more catches for Ponting would give him 30 catches and with it the Australian record for most catches by a fieldsman against India.

Prior to the start of the series, R Dravid has an aggregate of 196 catches and four more catches would make him the first fieldsman ever to pouch 200 catches in the annals of test cricket.

RT Ponting has taken 74 catches on away soil and one more catch would give his 75th catch. He then would become the fourth fieldsman who has an aggregate of 75 plus catches on away soil – R Dravid {104}, ME Waugh {84} and SP Fleming {77}

Prior to the start of the series, R Dravid and SR Tendukar have an aggregate of 5997 partnership runs. They need three more runs for 6000 partnership runs. If they get them, then they would become the third pair of batsmen in the annals of test cricket to have a total of 6000 plus runs – CG Greenidge and DL Haynes of West Indies {6482 runs} and ML Hayden and JL Langer {6081 runs}
