Dravid and RP look for valuable practice
Meerut, Nov. 3 -- Perhaps it would be stating the obvious, but both Mohd Kaif and Rahul Dravid are desperate for a good start to the Ranji Trophy season. The Super League Group 'B' tie between Uttar Pradesh and Karnataka, starting here, holds importance for Rahul Dravid, Rudra Pratap Singh and to a certain extent Piyush Chawla before the Test series against the visiting Sri Lanka team begins.
"It's going to be a good practice opportunity for me, and I would love to avail it," said Dravid. "Besides, I feel the team also needs a good start to the season," added Dravid, who termed the pitch here as a batting paradise.
He, however, refused to take the hosts lightly. Kaif too was not willing to underestimate the Karnataka side. "Despite not having Praveen Kumar, Suresh Raina and Sudeep Tyagi, we have good bowlers and batsmen to challenge the rivals." UP will play four matches at home and two away games at Rajkot and Pune.

We have seen the referral system tried out at Wimbledon and it worked really well. There is no reason to believe that it will not work in cricket too.

The tourists missed Strauss's conviction in marshalling the side in the field and his batting is always valuable because he is such a fluid player when he is in form.
