Mohun Bagan thus won the Cricket Association of Bengal Super League final which was conducted with pink kookaburra ball under lights to get Eden 'ready' for India's proposed first day/night Test against New Zealand in October.
The seam usually does not remain intact
after 40 overs but it’s not the case with the pink ball.” Resuming the
day at 132 for six, Bhowanipore’s innings on the final day lasted less
than an hour with Singh cleaning up the tail dismissing Ravikant Singh
who edged one behind the stumps. Having recovered from a knee surgery,
Shami is eyeing a Test recall in the four-Test West Indies series next
month and he said his focus in this match was to get his rhythm back.
“I’m working on getting back my rhythm
and wanted to ball long spell. But then I thought of taking a break
after 15 overs to give others an opportunity to bowl with the pink
ball,” he said. “I now feel the same way I was earlier. The time spent
during the injury was worst part of my life. I was along with my wife
alone, and was bed ridden for three months, took two months to walk.
Then gradually got my fitness back at the NCA.” Incidentally, Shami has
made both his first class debut and Test debut at this venue which saw
his career-best nine-wicket haul. “This ground is always special to me,
and the pink ball debut has made it even more special,” Shami signed
off.
