Defending champions Uttar Pradesh face the threat of being relegated to the Plate Division unless they manage an outright win over Andhra Pradesh in their last Ranji Trophy Elite League match that starts in Kanpur on Wednesday. "We have faired badly because our boys didn't live up to the expectations. The players who scored last year didn’t put a good show this time. (Mohammad) Kaif, (Suresh) Raina and Piyush Chawla have disappointed," said Gopal Sharma, manager, UP Ranji Trophy Team.
