Pujara scores another triple...

...this time in Ranji trophy.

Yes but again the attack is the poorest I've seen so far in Ranji. Yet a triple ton depends upon long concentration and proper shot selection for a long long period. Pujara has succeeded on that front. The boy is in red hot form. How I wish he gets to play against a good attack soon!!

While his unbroken fifth-wicket stand of 520 runs with Ravinder Jadeja is new WR, eclipsing previous WR made by Waugh twins when they scored 464 for the 5th wicket in '90.

again the attack is the poorest I've seen so far in Ranji.

Though this isn't his fault, he can bat against only the given attack, I can understand what you're implying.

While Rajasthan limped to 7/22 against Punjab.

Greg Chappell effect looms large over their performance.

who is Pungent?

i remember him from the 2006 under 19 world cup where he was brilliant.

thats hardly a limp. its a massacre

He is not that much a one day player. But I'm really really eager to watch him against good attacks in FC matches, say India A matches.

Jeez whatever be the quality of bowling attack, scoring 3 triple centuries in a span of 2 months (5-6 matches may be?) is surreal.

pungent sounds far from being on the nose...where does play in the batting order?

OK, lets call it a massacre then.

They got bundled out for 130-odd in 1st innings as well.

Lalit Modi has to be very 'sane' for hiring Greg Chappell as Director of Cricket for Rajasthan. They've plumbed to unimganinable depths (moreso in batting, Greg's area of specialisation) ever since he took over.

Indeed.

I have said this at the start of the BGT and will repeat again. Pujara needs to play England in tests so he can be groomed to replace Dravid in the long run and nothing better than playing in a home series where mistakes aren't to costly and the pressure that much less than playing away.

Have you seen Pujara bat ?
