Came a cropper this time around though.

Rahane just scored another ton.  I love that kid.  Jaffer scored a
double, but I hope his international days are in the past.  He's got
enough chances IMO.

And I'm shocked that Mumbai is not playing Nayar or Naik.  That's
travesty; if anything, they should be knocking on the doors of the
national team.  Ridiculous that they don't play those two in the
Mumbai team.

Incidentally, first time in my life I do not want to root for this
Maharashtra team.  I've no idea where they are getting these players
from.  Whoever is in charge is taking this diversity bit to the
extreme. Play the best players for Pete's sake; I'm sure there are
better ways to make the game more popular in other parts of the state.
