[Prithvi]

Wtf? Count me out of the people listening to that!

Well as of now, I can't take planetcricket members to Hobart (even people who stay at Hobart). So, we'll have an extraordinary performance of Sebastian in a post, which you'll come to know how! He'll sing the song with your throat so that every one likes it.

 

[AbhishekS]

Awesome is the word for the presentation.
Its awesome.

You are doing a fantastic work Binnu.

Now Ladies and Gentlemen, here goes Guy Sebastain to rock you all!!!!!

Ain't it a funny thing, How you run to me
When he sends you spinning out of control to the N-th degree
You know I make it right, I'm at your command
You can tell me anything you want, You know im gonna understand

I won't let you down, break it down-d-down-d-down
Never let you down, break it down

Hey-yo, do ya like it like that
I'm the only one who can love ya like that
Now, Hey-yo, do ya like it like that
I'm the only one who can love ya like that, hey

So should I shut my mouth, And should I hide my heart
Or should I let it out into the light, That you and him should be apart
Is he hangin on, To every word you speak
Does he rub your back and play with your hair until u fall asleep
I don't think so, baby

I won't let you down, break it down-d-down-d-down
Never let you down, break it down

Hey-yo, do ya like it like that
I'm the only one who can love ya like that
Now, Hey-yo, do ya like it like that
I'm the only one who can love ya like that
Now, Hey-yo, do ya like it like that
I'm the only one who can love ya like that
Now, Hey-yo, do ya like it like that
I'm the only one who can love ya like that

He might say he's in love with you
But he'll never do the things that I can do
You can be your watch with the diamond band
Because I know your better than the back of your hand

Now, Hey-yo, do ya like it like that
I'm the only one who can love ya like that
Now, Hey-yo, do ya like it like that
I'm the only one who can love ya like that
Now, Hey-yo, do ya like it like that
I'm the only one who can love ya like that
Hey-yo, do ya like it like that
Baby I'm the only one, Oh oh oh
Hey-yo, do ya like it like that
I'm the only one who can love ya like that
Now, Hey-yo
I'm the only one who can love ya, love ya, love ya, like that
Hey-yo, do ya like it like that
I'm the only one who can love ya like that (Who can love ya like that)
Hey-yo, do ya like it like that
I'm the only one who can love ya like that (Tell me baby who can love ya like that)
Hey-yo, do ya like it like that (Nobody baby)
I'm the only one who can love ya like that
Hey-yo, do ya like it like that (Nobody baby)
No one can love ya like that
Hey-yo, do ya like it like that
I'm the only one who can love ya like that
I'm the only one who can love ya like that
I'm the only one who can love ya like that
I'm the only one who can love ya like that
I'm the only one who can love ya like that.

First T20i,
KFC T20 Internationals.
Australia VS West Indies,
Live from Bellerive Oval, Hobart.

TOSS:

Here's the toss with Brendan Julian. Clarke calls heads and the match referee says that it has landed tails. Gayle has won the toss and he chooses to

bat. West Indies will be batting, while Australia will be fielding first. Lets have a look at what captains say.

Brendan Julian: Well Gayle, what would you like to do?
Chris Gayle: We wanna bat first.
BJ: Any specific Reasons behind?
CG: Yeah, the pitch looks hard, so "go, hit the ball, and get something above 160, and keep the opposition under pressure" will work out today.
BJ: Whats todays line up?
CG: Well, we have Hinds Playing, but he'll be definately sent down the order as we are forced to play him. We have Darren Bravo's injury sustained yet, so we are forced to play him. Although he don't want to bat, we're sending him at 8, even if our top order fails and I'm confident that he will be batting.
BJ: Well, good luck Gayle, have a good one.
CG: Thanks a lot mate.
BJ: Now we've got Michael Clarke. Well Pup, what would you have done?
Michael Clarke: Well, I even would have batted first on this. This being the first day - night game at Bellerive, its hard to predict the nature of pitch in the night.
BJ: Whats your side consisting of?
MC: We're going with three bowlers, 2 specialist all rounders and 3 part time bowlers. Nannes and Tait will be sharing the new ball, with Steven Smith spinning it.
BJ: Thanks for your time here Pup, god luck.
MC: Cheers mate, thank you.


Let's have a look at the line-ups for each side.
West Indies: C Gayle*, L Simmons, D Smith, K Pollard, D Bravo, D Ramdin†, D Sammy, W Hinds, S Benn, R Rampaul, K Roach
Australia: D Warner, S Watson, T Paine†, M Clarke*, CL White, D Hussey, M Hussey, J Hopes, S Smith, S Tait, D Nannes
Let the game begin!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
0.1: S Tait to C Gayle - 1 runs, good running between the wickets.
0.2: S Tait to L Simmons - 0 runs, Whoomp! Beamer and .. and... Not wide!
0.3: S Tait to L Simmons - 1 runs, Woah! What a risky run. The ball din't even cross the 30 yard circle, but Gayle needs strike, which made the run possible.
0.4: S Tait to C Gayle - 1 runs, Eish! Should be out. High in the air, Gayle looks disappointed, but OMG! Dropped! Gayle hurries for a run. The fielder there at Mid on, Steven Smith, dropped that.
0.5: S Tait to L Simmons - 0 runs, Should be a wide, and No its not! It is well in the line.
0.6: S Tait to L Simmons - 1 runs, good cricket there. a cover drive to send the ball towards extra cover, and he gets only one for it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Good start, but slow start. They should have got 3-4 runs more in this over to show their aggressiveness.

Score: 4/0 from 1.0 overs (RR: 4.00)
L Simmons 2* (4b)
C Gayle 2* (2b)
S Tait: 1.0-0-4-0​

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.1: D Nannes to L Simmons - 0 runs, Good bowling by Nannes. Simmons din't had any clue on how to play for it. He left it alone.
1.2: D Nannes to L Simmons - 2 runs, good running there, taking the advantage of misfield by Warner at mid off.
1.3: D Nannes to L Simmons - 0 runs, He can't do anything else for those type of balls. Leaving alone is what all he can do.
1.4: D Nannes to L Simmons - 1 runs, driven to extra cover and all they get is one run.
1.5: D Nannes to C Gayle (VeryAggressive) - 1 runs, Lofted, but there is a fielder there but the question is will he get under it in time.. and no. he decides to stop the boundary than going for a catch. And all they get is one run for those, now a days.
1.6: D Nannes to L Simmons - 0 runs, Wow! Great bowling. They appeal for LBW, but the umpire thinks its not out.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
They've to hurry up. "Whats Gayle doing?" is the question in every mind watching this match.

Score: 8/0 from 2.0 overs (RR: 4.00)
L Simmons 5* (9b)
C Gayle 3* (3b)
D Nannes: 1.0-0-4-0​

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.1: S Tait to C Gayle (VeryAggressive) - WIDE BALL... 1 runs, Oh. Missed the leg stump by an inch! Tait is disappointed as the ball missed the leg stump by an inch there.
2.1: S Tait to C Gayle (VeryAggressive) - 1 runs, Good running there. hit the ball straight to long on, but they get only one.
2.2: S Tait to L Simmons - 1 runs, Well directed towards third man, and the third man is present. So they'll get only one for it.
2.3: S Tait to C Gayle (VeryAggressive) - 0 runs, Woah! Almost 150 case! Gayle went for slog, but the ball being the quick one, misses the bat.
2.4: S Tait to C Gayle (VeryAggressive) - 1 runs, good running. This run could have been restricted, but Tait's leg lifts the ball up when hit revesre by Gayle, instead of stopping it.
2.5: S Tait to L Simmons - 0 runs, Bouncer and its called the first bouncer. Not a wide, thinks the umpire there.
2.6: S Tait to L Simmons - 1 runs, Good running between the wickets. Hit the ball towards mid on and long on takes some time to come all the way and throw, which allows a run.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, the West Indies have to take risks at this moment and score up bit quick. They are going just above 4.3 an over. They have to get that figure upto 6-8 if they have intensions to win this game.

Score: 13/0 from 3.0 overs (RR: 4.33)
L Simmons 7* (12b)
C Gayle 5* (6b)
S Tait: 2.0-0-9-0​

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.1: D Nannes to L Simmons (VeryAggressive) - 1 runs, poor shot that. Should have been a boundary if he'd have hit that perfectly. All they'll get now is a single.
3.2: D Nannes to C Gayle (VeryAggressive) - 1 runs, Oh....... OMG! There has been a lots of drama! Gayle goes front foot, but the ball touches the bottom which makes the ball bounce up.. The ball, missing the wicket due to bounce, goes into keepers hand. Paine tries to hit the ball to wickets, but misses it and the ball goes unidentified to bowler Nannes, who din't knew how actually the ball was coming. Fielder at mid off Steven Smith takes the ball, but its too late, Windies get a run.
3.3: D Nannes to L Simmons (VeryAggressive) - 1 runs, perfect cover drive, but he'll get only one for it, not more than that.
3.4: D Nannes to C Gayle (VeryAggressive) - 4 runs, And here comes the first boundary of the match. The ball goes like rocket to the boundary rope at long on.
3.5: D Nannes to C Gayle (VeryAggressive) - 1 runs, good running there, ball remains inside the pitch square, but yet Windies get a run.
3.6: D Nannes to L Simmons (VeryAggressive) - 0 runs, laziness shown there by Simmons. He has to run. One run would have easily taken, but Simmons says no, dunno the reason why he does that.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, Windies have got some runs in this over, but yet, they need to get that run rate somewhere between 6-8 so as to go for a big total like 160-

170.

Score: 21/0 from 4.0 overs (RR: 5.25)
L Simmons 9* (15b)
C Gayle 11* (9b 1x4)
D Nannes: 2.0-0-12-0​

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4.1: S Tait to C Gayle (VeryAggressive) - 1 runs, good running between the wickets, there was no run, but Gayle made it possible by a power varition shot.
4.2: S Tait to L Simmons - 0 runs, defended well, but mostly, he escaped from getting bowled. A point there to appreciate him.
4.3: S Tait to L Simmons - 3 leg-byes... 3 runs, Simmons misses, Paine misfields and reaches the boundary.. reaches the boundary... but no.. Third man there dives to get that away from boundary. Good piece of fielding there. He saves ONE run, which is most valuable in this format of game.
4.4: S Tait to C Gayle (VeryAggressive) - 0 runs, left alone by Gayle.
4.5: S Tait to C Gayle (VeryAggressive) - WIDE BALL... 1 runs, Now a days, balls which go even an inch beyond the leg stump are being given wide.
4.5: S Tait to C Gayle (VeryAggressive) - 0 runs, excellently defended, would have been a wicket if someone else was batting.
4.6: S Tait to C Gayle (VeryAggressive) - 1 runs, Pushed the ball through cover, but the fielder there send it back, but the batsmen
here run.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Okay, the runrate is increasing, but they don't have much time here. They have to quick the things up.

Score: 27/0 from 5.0 overs (RR: 5.40)
C Gayle 13* (13b 1x4)
L Simmons 9* (17b)
S Tait: 3.0-0-12-0​

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.1: D Nannes to C Gayle - 1 runs, Pushed the ball towards mid wicket region and run. The fielder there does no mistake and gets the ball back to the square.
5.2: D Nannes to L Simmons - 1 runs, In the air... but lands safely. They get only one. Simmons wants two, but Gayle says no.
5.3: D Nannes to C Gayle - 1 runs, Good running there. Sent back the ball straight to bowler with great speed, and the bowler, trying to catch it, lofts the ball up, which fielder at mid on, Steven Smith stops and throws it back. But Gayle gets single.
5.4: D Nannes to L Simmons - 4 runs, Well played. Sheer Timing and Placement paves the way for that shot!
5.5: D Nannes to L Simmons - 1 runs, good running by Simmons. Gets the single what he needs.
5.6: D Nannes to C Gayle - 3 runs, Wow. Misfield by Shaun Tait allows the third run.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
They're in a process of improving the run rate. Now they're slightly ahead 6 per over. They must continue the same to ensure that they go beyond 150.

Score: 38/0 from 6.0 overs (RR: 6.33)
C Gayle 18* (16b 1x4)
L Simmons 15* (20b 1x4)
D Nannes: 3.0-0-23-0​

Bit of a slow start but not too bad for the Windies. As long as Gayle is still there they have a chance.

And nope, still not a fan of old Gay Guy Sebastian

 

[Meghraj_17]

Ok start from the windies.
Great presentation Binnu.

 

[Gorro_124]

Steady but good. Hoping for a nailbiter here! BTW , good update. KIU.

 

[Aussie Team]

Excellent presentation mate..
How do you simulated it? by PCCS?

 

[Prithvi]

Yeah, PCCS, with my commentary of my own.

 

[Aditya]

Having a look at this story after few updates and this has improved a lot. Bowl By Ball commentary,This idea is not used in any other story so its quite unique and works well. But the same old thing again I'll like to recommend and that is add few more pics. Just by adding few pics the presentation looks a lot better,kiu.

Slow start there by the West Indies but Gayle can pace off his innings well so if he ensure that he stays at the crease till the 12th over then we can surely see few big hits from him.

I din't give pictures in this because each and every ball has been previewed in detail. When you have clean sketch in words, I guess you don't need any diagrams, but though, for Aditya"cricketer"'s sake, I'll upload.

 

[Mihir Doshi]

Ahhh Come On You Can Do Better Then That With Presentation. Please Change The Colour.

Red would have been good (as ts KFC T20), but following my previous updates, I stuck to Dark Yellow, but the only thing I din't do is I din't bold all the thing.

 

[Aditya]

There is something called presentation. Just by long writing it doesn't mean that presentation is looking great. You need to make it much more interesting. Now you are not using cricket'07 so there are no in game screenshots in place of that two or three real pics of the players can make presentation much more interesting. Right now the presentation seems so boring its just writing. But in the end its your choice, you can either take this comment positively or negatively but its just a suggestion.

 

[Varun]

Rather than saying slow start by Windies, I'd say that it is good bowling by the Australians. Australian pace attack is that good, that is why they are at the top of the world.

I disagree with you!
As said by many legends of story writing, adding pictures is not must!

When you have picture in your writing, its more than enough.

People like you need pictures to understand the story, as you don't understand English :cool:!
