Story Australian Int Season - RETIREMENT

[Short Leg]

The express fast bowlers look to be troubling India. Now that Sachin is gone the Australians should be able to get ontop and pick up a couple more wickets

Sehwag Continues To Lead - India 2/85 (20)

Indian vice captain Virender Sehwag continued to lead from the front as he produced an unbeaten 45 from 62 deliveries to guide India to 2/85 at the 20 over point in the VB series final. Sehwag struck 6 boundaries and a six in his innings while captain Rahul Dravid is attempting to get settled with 9 from 25 balls.

Shaun Tait (1/18) and Nathan Bracken (0/8) have continued to keep proceedings tight after Brett Lee and Glenn McGrath had finished their spells. Spinners Brad Hogg and Andrew Symonds may be used within the next 10 over block which will be crucial to the outcome of this final.

​

India 2/85 (20 Overs)
V. Sehwag 45* (62)
S. Tendulkar 25 (32)
R. Dravid 9* (25)

B. Lee 1/27 (6)
S. Tait 1/18 (5)
N. Bracken 0/8 (4)

If Dravid settles down, he may be dangerous! calm before storm ...
Australia needs to break this settled pair if they want to restrict India for some medium level score!

A wicket or two would really help the Aussies at the moment. If these continue then India could get away.

Bracken Skittles Sehwag - India 3/87 (22.2)

Nathan Bracken took the vital wicket of Virender Sehwag as India slipped into slight trouble with the score at 2/87 after 22 overs at the MCG. Bracken had Sehwag bowled for 45 from 74 deliveries after an inswinging full length ball cannoned into the openers front pad and then onto the off stump.

The wicket brings V.V.S Laxman to the crease to join forces with captain Rahul Dravid who is struggling with an unbeaten 11 from 27 balls. The left arm seamer Bracken is currently setting the MCG alight with 1/9 from 5.2 overs.

Right time for Bracken to strike! Its a very important wicket! Aussies can tighten up the things now with two unsettled batsmen!

Well bowled there by Bracken. Australia got a wicket they needed.

Guess i was right when i said that Dravid would slow the Indians down. Australia right on top here although the visitors still have wickets in hand to have a bit of a swing of the wilow late in the innings.

 

[gamerkid22]

Good bowling by Tait and Bracken ... India are on the backfoot a bit ....and still Hogg is there so Aussies can restrict them inside 230

 

[surendar]

India need to trigger up now! Tait bowled superbly right from the start!

[Left_Hander]

Agree with you Gamer. You put the less is more saying into effect here. The only thing you could improve MWaugh is Australia winning more games

Australia are bowling well but some more wickets would really put the pressure on India.
