Story England International Season - September 8th, 2007 - India in England

[Gaurav_7]

It's only taken me two and a half years to do two months of international cricket

That's the beauty of this really. There is so much to Cricket that it usually has to take so long. Maybe not this long. I've seen some stories here, doing 2-3 matches a day or two and then they shut.

Well I've checked and it isn't even two months

Still, this is going to the end of the series even if I lose both my arms in a shark related incident. Not sure where it is going to go after the end of this series, though. I was planning on doing the innaugural T20 WC but I'm not so sure any more. We'll have to wait and see.

Next 20 overs have been completed, I just need to edit the scorecards on my other computer, which could be within the next few days. Stay posted

Mate do It soon. Desperate for 20 over update,best of luck.

Well I've checked and it isn't even two months

You know, even I was thinking of that. How can you complete two months so early? It takes time man!

Bell nears fifty as India turn the screw

England vs India
5th Natwest ODI
September 2, 2007
Headingley, Leeds

Overs 21-40: Highlights

Bowlers on top

Past the outside edge; Lands just over the head of the fielder; Another play and miss from the batsmen

Bell and Shah start to accelerate

Beautifully driven by Shah; Sliced over backward point for four; Shah goes aerial into the off side

Bell lucky to escape LBW shout

Nothing wrong with the height; Powar goes up quickly; Looks straight enough but the umpire turns it down

Chawla breaks the partnership

Chawla celebrates the wicket of Shah; Shah tries to get underneath it; Comfortable catch by the Indian captain

Bell is the key for England. Zaheer Khan bowled very well for India,Even Pathan has bowled well and he still has 4 overs to go. Maybe England should aim for a total of 230-240.

Nice presentation mate. Maybe bit more writing will make presentation a lot better. Like explaining a bit more about the situation for ex Bell is looking solid at the middle,he is the key for England,After reaching to his fifty he should try some big strokes and try to help England to reach to a total of something around 250. Although you know more than me so you are maybe having some plans of writing less and concentrating on presentation beside writing. Overall very nice update mate,Keep it up.

Thanks Aditya. As for the comment about more writing, I have decided to just do the images now and put all the information into the match report at the end. This way I am able to get more updates in, otherwise the time between each update would be even further apart than it is now. As I keep harking on about, if I had Photoshop on this laptop I'd be churning out updates more frequently and the series would progress quicker. Unfortunately that's not the way it is at the moment.

Ian Bell is the key now for England if they have to set a challenging total for the Indians. All the batsmen would be disappointed there for getting in and then getting out. Seeing Tendulkar bowl his full quota of 10 overs after a long time. That proved to be a good move though. I don't know about writing and all but the way you present this is beautiful. Carry on the good work.

Cheers mate. As User2010 said the way you present it is beautiful.

Yeah, I love the highlight/images way, great job.
As for the match, England are doing pretty well, They've only lost 4 wickets and could go on a tonking press if they had the chance, Bell is doing great and now Collingwood and Flintoff should just get stuck in the game!!

 

[shantanu_rooney]

Surprisingly today India's bowling has been just brilliant. 147/4 in 40 overs, I must say the Indians have bowled their best for many years. England need to score atleast 90-100 runs in the last 10 overs to give their bowlers anything to play for or else I can see India winning the game.

 

[BKB1991]

England going too slowly ATM, need Flintoff and Mascarenhas to hit big in the end.

I'm currently at my Dad's and do not have access to PhotoShop, this is why I'm posting these articles mid-game.

Kenya 107 for 3 (Jesani 42*, Odoyo 42*) beat Uganda 104 for 6 (Kibukamusoke 45*, Ongondo 5 for 16) by 7 wickets
Scorecard

Kenya proved too strong for Uganda on day two of the Twenty20 Qudrangular series in Nairobi. Peter Ongondo
picked up five of the six wickets taken to restrict Uganda to 104 before Jadavji Jesani once again starred with the bat.

Uganda batted first but soon found themselves in trouble at 37 for 6 thanks to a brilliant opening spell by Ongondo and
Thomas Odoyo.

Jeremy Kibukamusoke held the innings together to ensure his side were not embarassed, hitting an unbeaten 46 to lift
Uganda above 100. Emmanuel Isaneez provided a partner for Kibukamusoke with 13*.

The total proved easy to chase for Kenya, in form Jesani remaining at the crease for the whole innings. Odoyo also hit
an unbeaten 42 in just 36 balls to guide the Kenyans home with 23 balls remaining.

Twenty20 Quadrangular, Nairobi

Bangladesh upset tournament favourites

Cricinfo Staff
September 2, 2007

Bangladesh 140 for 5 (Mahmudullah 66*) beat Pakistan 138 for 7 (Nazir 32) by 5 wickets
Scorecard

Bangladesh moved to two wins from two following a comfortable win over Pakistan in Nairobi. Mahmudullah hit an
unbeaten 66 to rescue Bangladesh after a poor start and, along with Shakib Al Hasan who made 47 before being
run out, took his side past the total set by Pakistan.

On a bowler friendly wicket Pakistan struggled to finish 138 for 7 from their 20 overs. Imran Nazir and Salman Butt
got the innings off to a solid start but a superb spell by Mahmudullah lowered the run rate.

Although expensive Mortaza and Rasel picked up a pair of wickets each as all the bowlers took a wicket.

Having lost Iqbal, Rahman and Ashraful to the Pakistani pace duo of Mohammed Asif and Shoaib Akhtar,
Al Hasan and Mahmudullah picked up the pieces with a partnership of 95.

Despite removing Al Hasan on 47 thanks to a smart run out by Butt, Pakistan were unable to restrict Bangladesh
below the target.

Bangladesh you beauty! Mahmudullah the man! Great presentation mate.
