Nice!!

Mohnish Parmar hit a return catch to Dinesh Mongia, who cleverly realised that Patel was backing up too much. Mongia made to drop the ball and effected the run out at the non-striker's end. With no player appealing for the catch the umpires had no choice but to rule Patel out.

MP beat Bengal in a low scoring game. It will be interesting to read on how Manoj Tiwary led his team in this game; if there are any match reports to be found.

PS:- Thanks Prabu for pointing out this piece of creative writing

Tamil Nadu’s left arm spinner Vidyut (three for 14), son of former Indian leg spinner and TV commentator Laxman Shivaramakrishnan, K Vasudeva Das (two for 20) and U Mahesh (two for 29) then bowled a tight line and length to restrict Haryana to 111 all out off 19.4 overs.
Laxman Sivaramakrishnan was born on Dec 31, 1965.
Sivaramakrishnan Vidyut was born on Dec 3, 1981.

Go figure.

PPS :- Sounds familiar?

Homer: funny piece of reporting by Cricketnext calling Vidyut the son of Laxman Siva! For heavens sake Vidyut is 22 or 23 and Laxman Siva is only 41 or so!
