Ranji Plate Division Group A Match


Assam’s Suresh to miss tie against Tripura:

Guwahati: An injury will be keeping all-rounder S Suresh, one of the most consistent performers of the Assam Ranji team this season, out of Assam’s crucial tie against Tripura starting on December 9.

One of three outstation recruits, Suresh had injured his finger while attempting a catch yesterday against Services. He missed out on all the action that saw his Tamil Nadu mates -- captain Sridharan Sharath and Sadagopan Ramesh -- bat Services out for a memorable win chasing 305 in 78 overs.

Confined to the hotel room, Suresh looked his usual self -- calm, composed and hopeful. “It is all part of the game. The stitches will be removed after seven days and in another three days I should start doing my usual stuff. The good news is that I will be fit before the semifinals, if everything goes well against Tripura,” the all-rounder said.


Assam, with 11 points, need to take a first innings lead against Tripura to join Gujarat in the semi-finals.


A draw, which fetches one point, will also keep them in the hunt. The semi-finals are scheduled between December 25 and 28.

However, Suresh’s injury has only made the job of the team think tank and the selectors that much harder. He has 12 wickets and 187 runs from six innings, third highest after Sharath (239) and Ramesh (203).


Reports from the ACA suggest that spinner Anand Katti has been sounded out for the Tripura match as the third outstation recruit.

“It is not yet final but since he can both bat and bowl, he is an option. We need a steady spinner. There is also a strong possibility of Tajinder Singh getting another chance before the big one,” one of them said.

A section feels that bringing in Katti for one match has no meaning as Suresh, if fit, will be back for the semis, if the team qualifies. Those in his favour say that he has to be sounded out as he will be the cover for all the three outstation recruits.

Sources pointed out that stress will be on strengthening the batting and that the team will remain unchanged to give the boys another chance to book their berths for the semifinals, most likely to be played at a neutral venue and against Railways.

The Ranji team will be announced tomorrow, barring last-minute changes.

“The home-bred players get one more chance. Thirty-forty runs will not be enough to ensure a seat; neither will two or three wickets do the trick. They have to consistently perform like they did yesterday against Services,” one of them said.

A couple of players have already been sounded out to perform or perish.

Ranji Plate Division Match

Assam still in trouble against Services:

Guwahati, Dec 2: Assam were still in trouble as they ended the second day of the four-day Ranji Plate Group A League tie against Services on 92 for 3 at the Nehru Stadium here on Sunday.

The hosts lost three quick wickets towards the end of the day as Services, who had earlier taken their innings to 406, pressed home their advantage.

Although Services lost two quick wickets in the morning after starting the day on 272 for 5, Ashish Mohanty and Surender Patwal added 86 for the eighth wicket to put the visitors in charge.

Mohanty scored 57 and Patwal 34. Krishna Das took four wickets for Assam.

Assam had made a good start as S Suresh and Palasjyoti Das made Services wait for 18 overs for the first wicket. But then three batsmen returned to the pavilion in the space of 16 runs, Rakesh Kumar taking two in three overs.

At draw of stumps, Assam were 314 runs behind Services first innings total with opener S Suresh batting on 40 and Mrigen Talukdar giving him company without opening account.

Brief Scorecard: Assam 92 for 3 (Suresh 40 not out; Rakesh Kumar 2/34) trail Services 406 (Ashish Mohanty 57; Krishna Das 4/81) by 314 runs

Ranji Trophy Plate League: Group A

Asom crawl back after batting slump:

Nov 23: Asom fought back strongly after being bowled out by Kerala for 198 runs in their first innings on the first day of the Ranji Trophy Plate Group tie which got under way at the Satindra Mohan Dev Stadium in Silchar today.

Kerala were tottering at 23 for five when the stumps were drawn for the day.

The way the wicket was behaving, as 15 wickets had gone down on the first day of the match, a result is expected. Whoever lakes a lead in the first innings should be in the driver’s seat.

Asom, which won the toss this morning, elected to bat first. But the start was not good for the home side as Souvik Das walked back to the pavilion before Asom was yet to open its account.

The damage was somewhat repaired by S Suresh and Palash Das by adding 70 runs for the second wicket. But once the partnership was broken, wickets started falling like a pack of cards.

Suresh was the top scorer for the side with 57 runs. The other notable contributors were Palashjyoti Das (23), Sadagopan Ramesh (27) and Rajdeep Das (30).

Tinu Yohannan and S Nair bagged three wickets each for Kerala.

It was Dhiraj Goswami who led Asom’s fight-back bagging three wickets for just five runs.

Assam Ranji Trophy team named

Oct. 30: Three cricketers who have donned national colours, all of them from Tamil Nadu including former Test opener Sadagopan Ramesh, have been included in the 15-member Assam Ranji team for the ensuing Ranji matches to be played against Gujarat and Vidarbha.

The other two players are S Sarath and S Suresh. Surprisingly, Sarath, the former Tamil Nadu captain, has also been named as the skipper of the team, while Nishant Bordoloi has been retained as the vice-captain.

The present state team will now have two former Tamil Nadu captains in Ramesh and Sarath in the line-up. Arlen Konwar, who opted out of the ICL contract, has also been included in the team.

The inclusion of the three big names in the state team, in a way, has come up as a respite for the team after three top Ranji players from Assam including Abu Naschim Ahmed and Sujoy Tarafdar decided to join the ICL.

Assam will play their first match against Gujarat on November 3 at Ahmedabad.

Team: S Sarath (captain), Nishant Bordoloi, Sadagopan Ramesh, S Suresh, Saurav Bhagawati, Souvik Das, Tajinder Singh, Palashjyoti Das, Deepak Sarmah, Arlen Konwar, Dhiraj Goswami, Krishna Das, Rajdeep Das, Bitop Mahanta and Mrigen Talukdar.

Coach: Sanat Kumar
Manager: Mukut Das
