Really a very good read.<BR/><BR/>I knew there were rivalries but never thought it to be so bad. Then, Bhupinder and Vizzy, now, Dalmia and Pawar. Power drives people to any extent.<BR/><BR/>The amount of drama and events preceding first Ranji trophy would surely make a wonderful script for a movie. Given the cricket crazy in India, I am surprised that this story hasn't attracted a producer/director yet.<BR/><BR/>Great post SB. I am sure this blog will be a good source point for information about Ranji Trophy, both past and present.Balajhihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17530684730088152328noreply@blogger.com
