We started the game, but there was connection problems, with a slight lag, Pakistan found it difficult to attack, and thus lost 2 wickets for 15 runs in 3 overs, when bad connection ended play for the day.
Lonewolf iv had change of plans for tomorrow, I will be on around midnight your time again, hope you can make it then otherwise i should be on earlier on Thursday.
Sorry for the hold up Guys, hopefully we should be able to get this tourney finished by the end of the week.

1st Semi Final Match Report
1st Semi Final : NZ (Thandamilk) vs India (Lilas11) match report
On a Day 5 wicket at the Mecca of Cricket - Lord's, India elected to bat first with the intent of batting the Kiwis out of the game. Given the added pressure of this being a Semi Final, batting first was a smart move by the India captain.
The Indians opened with Lakshman and Gambhir, keeping the firepower of Sehwag in their back pocket. Lakshman & Gambhir provided just the kind of start the Indians wanted, putting together a 50 run partnership within the powerplay overs. They took the occasional risk, but mostly found gaps consistently to pick up 2s and 3s.
Obrien and Vettori combined to reduce India from 53/0 to 66/2, but the Kiwi celebrations were shortlived as Raina took charge and produced a blazing half century off just 23 balls. Raina's onslaught on Vettori was clinical, accounting for most of the 60+ runs he conceded in his 4 overs. While his own figures capped a forgettable tournament, watching the part-time Indian spinners win the game for the Indians later in the day would have been even more difficult to digest for this champion bowler.
While Raina was blazing away, Tendulkar on the other end accumulated and periodically attacked, clocking up a quick 39 off 27.
At 130 odd for 2 in just under 12 overs, it wasn't looking good for the Kiwis and a score in the range of 220 seemed a distinct possibility. Butler, along with some of the other seamers, straightened their line and looked to stem the flow of runs.
Though the Kiwis were successful in preventing India from truly capitalizing on the launchpad provided by Raina and Tendulkar, a target of 196 was always going to be a tough ask for the Kiwis.
In pursuit of 196, the Kiwis began with a bit of a bang in the first 5 overs. The Kiwi captain's gamble of sending his two allrounders to open the batting seemed to pay off with 50 coming off the first 5. Mills and Elliot consistently went arial and cleared the tight close-in ring.
Unfortunately for them, the bang turned out to be more of a whimper. Zaheer Khan delivered a double blow, removing Mills and the ill-advised number 3 Vettori in a space of 2 balls. Another wicket fell at 65.
The Kiwis still had 5 specialist batsmen and a managable required run-rate. What followed was both - a display of sheer genius by the Indian spinners as well as some complacent, senseless batting by the Kiwi middle order.
In the 4 back to back overs bowled by the Indian spinning duo of Sehwag and Yuvraj Singh, they picked up 4 NZ wickets, effectively destroying the middle order, while conceding only 38 runs. It is in this period of play that India won the match, and New Zealand lost it.
McCullum and Oram attempted heroic rescues, but there was just too much to do with too little time or support left. There was no escaping the noose the Indian spinners had so effectively tied around Kiwi hopes.
Bundled out for 141, the Kiwis were disappointed not only to have lost, but for not having provided the bi-partisan crowd a display worth their semi-finalist billing. All credit to India for making short work of the Kiwis. They remain, as they have through the tourney, the team to beat, not having yet come close to losing a match.

Top match report Thanda, seemd like it was an article from cricinfo lo, very good read.
@ Lonewolf - Sorry for not making it on time today, I came on very shortly after midnight, but by that time you had gone. Tomorrow I should be on much earlier, hopefully around 530pm IST?
I am free most of tomorow from that time, so just leave a message on here to let me know what time is suitable for you.
I really want to get our game out the way tomorrow, so the tourney can move on. I dont want the India team to loose all their positive energy by waiting around lol.
