Nottingham, Aug. 8 :    Nottingham, Aug. 8:  Last November, first-choice wicketkeeper Samir Dighe pulled out of the Bloemfontein Test minutes before the toss. On Thursday morning, it was Ajay Ratra's turn to make himself unavailable at Trent Bridge. As reported in these columns Thursday, Ratra was injured during the match-eve nets. However, the official viewpoint was 'don't worry.' Manager Ranga Reddy himself said so, something repeated by physio Andrew Leipus. As it turned out, the blow to Ratra's left toe (courtesy a yorker from one of the local bowlers) rendered him immobile in the morning. Incidentally, Ratra was also struck on the arm. So, with Ratra unavailable, 17-year-old Parthiv Patel became the beneficiary. In Bloemfontein, Deep Dasgupta had gained. Ratra, though, hasn't suffered a fracture. 'The X-ray didn't reveal any damage,' Reddy told The Telegraph. On his maiden trip with the senior team, junior World Cupper Patel has become India's third youngest Test cricketer - after Sachin Tendulkar and Laxman Sivaramakrishnan. More than that, Patel became the youngest-ever Test wicketkeeper. The earlier record, set half-a-century ago, stood in Hanif Mohammed's name.
