da winzada777： Staff Reporter14-Oct-2001Day Two of the Irani Trophy saw Baroda, hoping to build substantiallyon captain Connor Williams’ century, fold within a matter of 20 overs.Williams became Tinu Yohannan’s second wicket, caught behind for 143with the score on 286.From there, it was a matter of mopping up the tail, which Rest ofIndia did with little fanfare. Sarandeep Singh completed his fivewicket haul by having Rakesh Patel caught by Kanitkar and Valmik Buchleg-before. Patel departed only after a flurry of strokes, giving him44 off 66 balls with six fours and one six, enabled Baroda to crossthe 300-run mark. The innings finally folded at 318.Rest of India started off with a 50-run opening partnership betweenVinayak Mane and Akash Chopra before the latter was caught by Buch offthe bowling of left-arm seamer Irfan Pathan for 22. Mane playedcautiously, circumscribing his usual aggression with a desire to buildan innings. The strokes were still there, though, notably in his sevenboundaries and a six.VVS Laxman, hoping to use this fixture as invaluable match practicebefore his departure to South Africa, disappointed himself, snared bywicket-keeper Nayan Mongia off Buch for only 13. Hrishikesh Kanitkartoo did not remain for long, departing after scoring 2, caught byWilliams off Rakesh Patel.Mane, witnessing the collapse from the other end, may have let it playon his mind. With the score on 92, he found himself walking back tothe pavilion, LBW to Irfan Pathan. Rest of India found itself, at thisstage, in serious danger of losing the reins.It took gritty batting efforts from Dinesh Mongia and Ajay Ratra tobring them back. Mongia has to his name 47 from 111 balls and Ratra 35from 87. Both remained unbeaten at the close of play and, being theonly two recognised batsmen remaining in the side, it will fall tothem on Day Three to convert their innings into ones capable ofturning the match around for Rest of India.
