Ranji or tests?

I quite liked the Gambhir c Shah b Patel scoreline from the Rajkot one-day international; I felt like I was reading a Ranji Trophy scoreboard. It reminded me of a commentary line from England's 1998 tour of the West Indies. It went something like this: "Ramprakash plays Ramnarine out to cover where Chanderpaul fields."

Gambhir & Patel both are very fine cricketers and I always love to watch their games either it is Ranji or a test match...............

I heard there are some young lads of Pakistan and Indian stock playing cricket in Australia.

Well the Australian Ladies team has one "Obama", Sthalekar, and that's a start...
