Dravid Reaches his 50,

Ian healy,Rahul dravid played wonderfull througg The innings not giving the pakistani bowlers not even a chance in getting him out,He took singles hit the odd boundries from the bad bowls and kept the run ticking and he moved on to take his 50,wonder full batting played some lovely shots!

Ian chapple,We have seen dravid so many times safing india from shaky situation this is another inning of his that can be counted as one That safed india from destruction now he has to look for runs,kaif is also going well at the moment,Lets look at dravids spider.

 

[The Champ]

Wonderful 50 by the wall

India puts on a good Total of 257/10

Sanjay,The indians played well,Putting a good total of 257/10 They could have made more then 280 but looks shaky at the end,Shahid Afridi,Shoiab malik bowled put well I Thought in the 40 over slot,Not gave too many runs and took wickets consistantly,Now india has to thank Dravid for That wonder full total and also not to foget sehwags 60 runs,so over all good contirbution by both batsman.

Pakistans bowling department and The Improve ment behind it.

Rameez.From the pakistani point of view The bowling has been good,The spinners did The majority of the damage and the fast bowlers kept the line and lenght tight making batsman search for their runs over and over again,They have to work hard on their batting bowling has been good,They restricted england in the first match for 237 and now we see them bowl again The main issue will be their batting and I am eager to wait and see what happens as the match wears on.

 

[The Champ]

257 is a fighting total by india, common india

 

[borncricketer]

India make 257 better than the real odi.....may be here they can win

Pakistan In deep Trouble after Linch.

Sanjay,Top five pakistani batsman collapses thanks to pathan who bowled quick and swing The ball,The batsman had no answer to his good bowling They kept getting out and out,This doesnt look good for pakistan,If they doesnt manage to get them self out of this carnage they might lose the second match.

Rameez,another wicket This time tendulkar just when you thought pakistan is back to the hut but no Tendulkar strikes and sends razzaq home,this is no looking good for pakistan They have to do some thing about this other wise as you said sanjay they might lose the second match I barley see that happening,6 Wickets down for pakistan The good think Shoaib Malik still in the creas The next man in kamal The pakistani wicket keeper.Well he support Shoaib malik and get pakistan out of this mess?

 

[borncricketer]

YES....GO india Go

 

[fardin]

Shoaib Malik & kamal consolidate

Ian,The two batsman now has put on 50 partnership and looking dangerouse for india,If india can pull of one wicket here They might able to put pakistan bac only one mistake and Pakistani will be in deep deep trouble the only known batsman to come out after this is azhar which we have seen him play well in test matches but this is odi match ladies and jentelman,

Rameez,Wonder full shot their by kamal played it beautifully This pair is looking dangerouse for india,The spinners bowling well keeping it tight,One wicket will do every thing for india That They want,Which I barely see hapening These two batsman are going strong and pakistan want them to stay at the creas as long as they can for their own good.

 

[borncricketer]

Come on india u have to break this partnership

 

[fardin]

Shoaib malik at his best.

Healy,Lovely sweep shot by shoaib malik,Playedly nicly he is doing the right thing by hitting the odd boundrries at the other end kamal is looking dangerouse as well he is also playing his shots and looking for singles turning the strike to shoaib malik

Rameez,It was a good shot but the run rate is suffering so they have to hit the boundries and they have to play it safe remember only 4 batsman is left after this so they cant make a mistake They have to be catiouse and they have to keep the run rate ticking and the same time.

 

[fardin]

Inside out shot for six!Malik is looking dangerous

Ian.Lovely inside out shot for six can you believe it?It was a a nicely timed shot Bad bowling by tendulkar he gave to much room for the batsman to hit this kind of a shot,The partnership between these two batsman is 60 runs now and they are still going strong.

Sanjay,good shot,From india point of view as you mentioned Ian one wicket will do it and ganguly is waiting for that moment,Good batting.

 

[fardin]

What a catch by Dravid,Not sure he will be happy 2 years of more ke keeping

Ian,Ganguly brings pathan back into the attack and he takes two wickets what abowling by this young fellow already 5 wickets under his belt,Not sure What The pakistans are doing at the other hand losing wickets,It is too late to say anthyg now Their score 137/8 that is just a bad score nothing can be done Shoaib malik still going strong but nothing can be done as of now two tailenders cant be supporting him tell the end

 

[fardin]

Shoaib malik out as well,The leading scorer in The pakistani batting line up,

Sanjay,another wicket by another indian bowler nothing can be done pakistan has has been messed up ,The indians look delighted But it is never over tell it is over The tailender stil have to bat,

Rameez,Shoaib malik tried his best but couldnt do much good batting other wise but if the other batsman could have supported him could have been making musch more of runs but he must be disappointed by the performance by the pakistanis today.

 

[borncricketer]

Yes...i think india will be able to win from this point on
