News is that RP has recovered and will play in the final. This is how the playing 11 is likely to look - Shivakant Shukla (lhb), Tanmay Srivastava (lhb), Suresh Raina (lhb), Mohammad Kaif (rhb), Parvinder Singh (rhb), Mohammad Amir (rhb/wk), Praveen Kumar (AR), Piyush Chawla (AR), Bhuvaneshwar Kumar (RB), Praveen Gupta (LB) and RP Singh (LB). Of the five frontline bowlers, UP will have a right arm left arm opening combination in RP Singh and Praveen Kumar, with Bhuvaneshwar Kumar's right arm variations coming in as first change (Oh I wish Sudeep Tyagi was fit this year), followed by Chawla's googlies and Praveen Gupta's left arm finger spins.

Shiva isn't even a regular in the UP team, let alone a serious candidate on the national stage. That said, if Manjrekar (who has countless "bored to death" innings under his belt), Shastri (his 1992 WC escapades are well documented) and now Jaffer (a perfect substitute for ineffective sleeping pills) can wear India colors, anyone can. Enuff said !!
"Tamil Nadu bowlers, after failing to get an early breakthrough, managed to remove Parminder (130) when he attempted to slash Balaji in his second spell to be caught at point by Suresh Raina."
doesnt suresh raina belong to UP? he caught his own teammate?
