Who was biting the nail Mr. Burmanroy? Mumbai was start studded, yes. But the match was over on day-2 when Zaheer demolished the Bengal first innings. Even to reach the Finals, Bengal team had to sweat against a severely depleted Karnataka. Bengal played at home and and Karnataka fought back from being 89 all-out on day-1. That for me was a nail biting finish. Without Dravid, Kumble and even the prolific Robin Uthappa. So Bengal becoming runners up was by default. All teams missed main players and Bengal played the entire season full strength.
