This is how wickets fell for mumbai against baroda during 2nd semi final in ranji trophy.

Fall of wickets
1-0 (Kukreja, 0.4 ov),
2-0 (Jaffer, 1.6 ov),
3-0 (Shah, 2.4 ov),
4-0 (Sharma, 2.5 ov),
5-0 (Muzumdar, 3.2 ov),

6-17 (Nair, 7.1 ov)

first five wickets for zero runs that to inside first four overs , certainly seems to be some kind of a record.

More interesting is to ponder how soon will they become a part of the National team. Wait and watch, you. It will be just like old times. :D

In spite of this Bombay won but it managed to get Pathan a recall in Indian team. May be Pathan paid them as it was just one day before selection was due.

Recovering from 0 for 5

In their recent Ranji Trophy match against Baroda, Mumbai were 0 for 5 at one point. Is this the worst start in any first-class match? asked Shashank from India, and many others

Mumbai’s embarrassing opening to their second innings in the Ranji Trophy semi-final at Vadodara last week - remarkably, they bounced back to win the game and qualify for the final - was not the worst start to any first-class innings. Back in 1872, an MCC side containing WG Grace slumped to 0 for 7 against Surrey at Lord’s, before struggling to 16 all out. Pitches at Lord’s then were not terribly good - scores of less than 100 were commonplace - and this one was particularly difficult, as it had been soaked by incessant rain the previous day. The 1873 Wisden says the innings took place “on dead, deceitful playing wickets, and in a queer light for batting”. Surrey only managed 49, bowled MCC out again for 71, and won the match by five wickets inside a single day. The worst start in a Test match was by India, at Headingley in 1952, when Fred Trueman and Alec Bedser reduced them to 0 for 4.
