(Shekh Sadik bowling for the Central Strikers in the Indian Zonal Champs from a couple of weeks ago.)

Sadik ended up with 9/29 ... still pretty good figures, pitch notwithstanding.
If I have one criticism of the Indian Zonal Champs it would be a lack of enthusiasm among the commentators ... youtube.com/clip/UgkxVNG6IEW…
