Sankhya Krishnan02-Dec-1999Virender Shewag gave a friendly South Zone attack a fearful poundingon Day two of the Duleep Trophy quarter final between North and SouthZones at Agartala today. North Zone finished the day at 551-6 of whichShewag’s share was a bellicose 274 off just 325 balls with 36 hits tothe fence and 4 hits over it. Shewag was the prime mover in a 381 runfifth wicket partnership off 107.1 overs with the indefatigable RajeevNayyar who was still undislodged at stumps at 115 with elevenfours. Nayyar’s runs have come off 456 balls and in 590 minutes;having already played the longest innings in first class cricketearlier in the season, he showed he has few peers in this respect withanother trademark knock of immense patience.North resumed at their overnight 229-4 (and not 213-4 as mentionedyesterday). Shewag, who played in one ODI for India last season,against Pakistan at Mohali in the Pepsi Cup (he made a solitary runand was also belted for 35 runs in three overs) has already displayedan appetite for runs this season with 187 against Haryana and 165against Himachal. He was finally stumped by Shiraguppi off apersevering Venkatapathy Raju with the total at 530. WicketkeeperVijay Dahiya fell cheaply for eight and Nikhil Chopra on four washolding the fort with Nayyar when play ended for the day.The three South spinners, Raju, Kapoor and Joshi, all toiled hard butwith little to show for their efforts as they posted a century apiecein the runs column of their bowling analyses.
