Though the Mumbai Cricket Association-IDBI Federal Life Insurance Bowling Foundation scheme ended four years ago, it is still reaping rewards. Mumbai U-23 pacer Minad Manjrekar, who has benefited from a one-month training stint in Queensland under the watchful eyes of the Australian pace legend Jeff Thomson four years ago, on Saturday credited his fifer (5-41) against Puducherry during the CK Nayudu Trophy quarter-final at Wankhede, to the lessons learnt from Thomson.

Manjrekar's fiery bowling helped the hosts bundle out Puducherry for 209. In reply, the Hardik Tamore-led home reached 112-1 at stumps on Day One.
