41.1 W Kamal to Vusi
The slower ball and Vusi played too early, getting a leading edge back to Kamal.

YES! Vusi out! He was going way too slow!

41.1 	[COLOR="Red"]W[/COLOR]	Kamal to Vusi
 	 	[COLOR="Red"]The slower ball and Vusi played too early, getting a leading edge back to Kama[/COLOR]l.

Riley hits a four first ball.

41.2 4 Kamal to Riley
There's a miniature eruption from the crowd as they expect a wicket... but the ball clears the fielder and heads for four. Riley gives a wry grin after just missing the man at mid off.

 

[borncricketer]

Gilly ur ppl slowed down too much in the middle...

30.6 wd Bhutia to Karthikeyan
That should not be happening at top level cricket. Bhutia's captain does not look happy.
30.5 . Bhutia to Karthikeyan
Fullish ball angling away outside off stump, well forward, easing it towards point in defence.
30.4 1 Bhutia to Paki
Well forward, stroked out to mid wicket as they scramble for the single.
30.3 1 Bhutia to Karthikeyan
Easy single to long off.
30.2 4 Bhutia to Karthikeyan
FOUR, that is brutality! Slogged down to the long on fence, just bounced before the rope. Karthikeyan deserved six there.
30.1 1 Bhutia to Paki
Slogs the ball straight to Singh lali fielding at mid off and they run hard for a quick single. Good running there.

A good over for me :cool:

31.6 2 Dangasela to Paki
Lovely off drive there but some great fielding keeps it to just two runs.
31.5 1 Dangasela to Karthikeyan
Short ball, Karthikeyan mistimes the cut to the vacant cover region and it's only a single.
31.4 1 Dangasela to Paki
That's a neat little late cut through the vacant third slip region for a single.
31.3 3 Dangasela to Karthikeyan
Smacked away, but not quite cleanly, and the fielder is able to make his ground to prevent a boundary.
31.2 . Dangasela to Karthikeyan
Good length fullish ball angling away just outside off stump, shuffles well forward before shouldering arms to Dangasela.
31.1 1 Dangasela to Paki
A run to Paki.

End of Over 32: 203-0, runrate=6.34
Dangasela 6-0-32-0

45.2 	[COLOR="Red"]W[/COLOR]	Corbett to Saich
 	 	[COLOR="Red"]What a catch! Kamal plucked that one-handed from in front of a spectator.[/COLOR]

All over. Their spinner drives a nail into the coffin.

45.4 	[COLOR="Red"]W[/COLOR]	Corbett to Barraclough
 	 	[COLOR="Red"]That's bowled Barraclough, terrible shot that, I've seen better batters in a fish 'n' chip shop.[/COLOR]

Sheesh. Their spinner is deadly.
