Manoj Tiwary, the Bengal captain, has called for surfaces of the kind that hosted the India-England Tests in Rajkot and Visakhapatnam to be prepared for the Ranji Trophy. His assessment comes after the seasons first two-day finish, Barodas 21-run win against Bengal in a Group A fixture in Lahli, where the fast bowlers claimed 38 of the 40 wickets to fall.As many as 23 wickets fell on the opening day, the most in a day so far this season, with neither side managing to pass 100 in their first innings. The remaining 17 fell on day two. That Tiwarys fourth-innings 39 was the highest score of the match indicated how tough batting was at a venue that has traditionally been regarded as a seamers paradise.I think we should be playing on surfaces close to what the Indian team plays on in the current season so that those who perform and are picked immediately dont have to make drastic adjustments, Tiwary told ESPNcricinfo. I said it even yesterday, when we had a chance of winning despite conceding a lead, that on these kind of surfaces you cant be chasing more than 120. Not really ideal, isnt it?It would be good to play on surfaces that bring not just the fast bowlers but spinners into the picture too. Its disappointing to lose, we played some bad shots too, but surfaces of this kind take skills out of the picture. Its understandable if its a greentop with consistent bounce, but here it wasnt. Lahli is probably the toughest surface in the country, but unfortunately this was simply very very tough. Having said that, credit to Baroda. The wicket was same for both sides. Tiwary pointed to damp patches at both ends as the cause of the inconsistent bounce. There were green patches at drive-able lengths. Even fast bowlers werent sure which way the ball would move if it pitched there. Every time you pitched the ball in certain areas, there were indentations. After a few overs, it was reduced to a guessing game. Some balls reared up, some balls kept low. This contributed to the dismissals no doubt, but it wasnt ideal to be playing on this kind of surface.Would his assessment have changed had Bengal won? Deepak Hooda has made a big double-century just two matches ago. He made centuries in his first two games. Sure, you can have a bad game, but on this surface, he too was struggling. In one game you cant be that bad, Tiwary said. It would be nice to play on surfaces that at least offer consistent bounce.As a side we are disappointed, no doubt. But without making excuses, Ill say it was tough. As a state captain, I will highlight these observations to Dada (Sourav Ganguly, head of the BCCIs technical committee that proposed neutral venues in the Ranji Trophy). The think-tank can then decide. If you ask me, the surface that we played on in Bilaspur [against Punjab] earlier this season was the most ideal, where there was a little bit of everything for everyone.Tiwary said Bengals bowling after they sent Baroda in was the decisive his sides defeat - surprisingly, considering Baroda only made 97, with Ashok Dinda picking up six wickets. We shouldnt have allowed them to get that much, Tiwary said. We shouldnt have conceded more than 60. That made the difference especially with our second-innings scores being identical.

In the response filed Wednesday to the complaint by 30-year-old Alexander Bradley, attorneys say the former University of Florida player is invoking his Fifth Amendment right that protects people from incriminating themselves.MIAMI -- Paul Goldschmidt is one of the hottest hitters in baseball. Goldschmidt homered twice, tied his career high with four hits and drove in four runs to lead the Arizona Diamondbacks over the Miami Marlins 9-2 on Friday night. "Watch the kid, watch the way he stays with his approach, hes dangerous," Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson said. Goldschmidt hit a two-run homer in the first, a 428-foot drive to left on an 0-2 pitch, before Chavez homered to right on the very next pitch. He later fouled off six straight pitches in the third before hitting another two-run homer, a drive to left on the 13th pitch of the at-bat that made it 5-0. "However many I fouled off, all of them were down and away, mostly really good pitches, and fortunately for me he made a mistake," Goldschmidt said. It was the second career multihomer game for Goldschmidt, who also connected twice May 18 at the Los Angeles Dodgers. He is hitting .414 (29 for 70) with nine homers and 26 RBIs on the road, but .272 with three homers and nine RBIs at Chase Field. "Its still early in the season so the stats are skewed one way or another so if you get hot for a week or something when youre on the road compared to home," Goldschmidt said. "You just try to go out there and play well. If it happens to be on the road, good. If its at home, thats good, as well." Goldschmidt doubled to lead off the seventh and singled in the ninth. He is hitting .440 (22 for 50) in his last 15 games with seven homers, six doubles, and 17 RBIs. "Hes got a lot of talent," said Martin Prado. "We are expecting a lot of things from him. Every time he goes to home plate, were just waiting for something to happen." Eric Chavez homered and also had four hits, and Gerardoo Parra and Prado had three hits apiece for Arizona, which had 16 hits in all and won its third straight game.dddddddddddd "I just hope we can do this more often, it would sure help our pitching staff," Gibson said. Trevor Cahill (3-4) won for the third time in four decisions following an 0-3 start, allowing one run, five hits and four walks in eight innings. He walked his first two batters in the third before retiring 13 in a row, 10 on groundballs. "As the game went along I was able to find my arm slot and worked down in the zone," Cahill said. Last-place Miami matched its season-high losing streak at six and at 11-31 equaled the 2006 Marlins for the worst 42-game start in franchise history, according to STATS. "Unfortunately we got down and obviously with our offence were just not able to make up that much ground," Marlins manager Mike Redmond said. Kevin Slowey (1-4) gave up six runs and seven hits in three innings. "It was the second time in a week that I havent given my team a chance to win and thats disappointing," Slowey said. Arizona led 7-0 before Rob Brantly had an RBI single for Miami. Greg Dobbs had three hits.
