Pathetic !!

I had high hopes from the young Bangladesh side in the Duleep Trophy but it seems they were completely overawed by the situation and have received a comprehensive mauling at the hands of East Zone which can be safely described as a weak team compared to the others in the tournament. Patience is the keyword I guess - Bangladesh will continue to have days like these for some time at least.

Plus point coming from the match - Ganguly scored 170 - great !! On a day when Dravid scored 6 runs in 2 innings, Laxman 14 in 2 (or something like that) and Tendulkar 4 in 1 the skipper's good form is indeed a respite.

The South vs West match might turn out to be a cracker (indeed it is) what with Kumble and Powar completely destroying Tendulkar, Dravid and Laxman !!! Bowlers rule in this year's Duleep Trophy and that is great news !!

Amidst the slaughter, the good contributions of talented youngster Venugopal Rao need special mention and praise. I don't think it will be long before he makes his way into Team India.
