Irrespective of the pitch, it was the determination of the rajasthan pace bowlers and some poor batting by tn.Till rajasthan batted the pitch looked dead but when tn batted it looked to do something. Same as for indians in australia
Tamilnadu top order (except for Dinesh) batted like the current India team.. no excuses..Rajasthan played like a champion with the plan.. I saw the bowling on first day..They wasted so many deliveries..Horrible match planning from Tamilnadu.
Heartiest Congratulations to Rajasthan team for their consecutive Ranji title. They truly deserve it. Their performance should be a lesson and inspiration for team India. They played down under (read Chennai) and on TN home tract to beat them utilizing their limited resources to the best. Kudos to them!

yes, Rajasthan deserves all praise for defending the title. Murli Vijay and Badrinath have been given lot of oppotunities, including international for M. Vijay, but they have always failed.

r singh is good meadium pacer.. should get chane in IPL to play for rajasthan which is very weak team on paper.
Some people don't understand Rajasthan killed the contest by playing a drab game for three and two third of days and killing the competition on a pitch that offers nothing for bowlers. They did not aspire to go for a result even after Tamilnadu losing out for this low score.
BCCI should actually have had a sportive pitch with a possible result but they preferred to retain the existing batting track only because of IPL looming ahead.
Sick attitude of the Board and its representatives.

if i will go by ur logic..then how a pitch that offers nothing..bowled one of the strongest batting line up like playing cards..they even didnt score half of the first innings score..so dont blame Rajastan..rather admit that they outplayed TN in every dept..even in 2nd innings they r 21 with no loss.. congrats Rajasthan

Don't blame the Rajasthan team, I think they played very sensibly. Grinding the TN team by frustration. The fault lies with the Tamil Cricket Board, who prepared the pitch, thinking that the Rajasthan batting line up is no match for the Tamil Nadu lineup....plan backfired miserably.

Rajasthan never really wanted to win the game. They always wanted to win the championship. That is it. They knew if they are to go for an outright victory it will cost them dearly. So they decided to grind out Tamilnadu there by creating rough which will help bowlers.
This is not the way you play cricket. May be everyone can congratulate Rajasthan for grinding out the championship but its insensible on the long run.
The medium pacer who people are talking about will really be distraught in a tough scoring game because his idea would be more to control than to take wickets.
