Nagpur: A perennial problem that keeps Tamil Nadu back in the Ranji Trophy has been the disability of the batsmen to deal with the seaming situation.
On Sunday, the same story was repeated again as the top-order fell against the new ball bowling of some high-quality from Vidarbha pacers in the quarter-final clash.
At the end of day two, TN is struggling at 159 for six and is still 194 runs behind Vidarbha’s first innings. However, TN Coach L. Balaji feels that there is enough time for his boys to return to the competition.
“This is a five -day game, and a lot of time is left. Tomorrow, our aim is to get closer to the clan as the clan and then give ourselves a chance to return, ”said Pesar of East India.
Balaji pointed to a game against Karnataka last year, where TN chased the fourth paan after taking almost a major lead.
He also praised Andre Siddharth’s knock and realized that the nature of his drama’s retaliation is probably an ideal way to bat under these circumstances.
“You can’t expect to hang in these situations. You need to plan that counter-halle, and Andre played on it. Balaji said, “The kind of stroke play showed was a lot of need and gave us some speed.
“Yes, of course, I was happy that he was continuing, but there is some inexperience. He has attained talent and has shown it in the middle since the beginning of the season. ,
Regarding the team’s bowling performance, the 43 -year -old admitted that his side probably gave 30 to 40 additional runs, but was happy to take out the opposition in two days in the first session.
