Well, we got of to a flyer, but a big collapse puts india in with a good chance. I've recently finished the innings, and i've sent the saved file, as well as screenshots (can one of you put them up for me, it seem to take ages when i try...) to those concerned. Hopefully you have them now.

Fleming: Well, we're rather dissapointed with how we collapsed to the rather acheivable target of 194 after failing to bat out all the overs. We got off to a bad start, after Astle was narrowly run out by a matter of an inch or two, but myself and Styris both scored 46 before Cairns came in and scored an even quicker 56. When Harbhajan was introduced, Cairnsy smacked two lofted cover drives for six in his first over, and then another in the next. However, right after clearing the rope, he pushed his luck too far and this trigged the collapse. Singh ended up with 5 scalps, which really proved the turning point. It looked like we were going to get 250-300, but it wasn't to be. However, we feel if we really apply ourselves in the feild, we should be in with a chance.

well played vetts... 194 is a good total
we have to wait and see if india can chase it comfortably?

[color=#000000ost_uid14]we r on half the way to victory....

the start was very poor. we lost sachin and sehwag very cheaply. both went to adams. after then bond took an excelent reflex catch to send off ganguly who was firing from the word go... India were in real trouble with score showing 38 for 3. but then 'mr. cool' dravid and kaif has added a partnership of 53 to make india upto 102 for 4. kaif was out in the 10th over to vettori. dravid on 41 and yuvaraj on 5 are at the crease..

amber... now its ur turn. best wishes to win the match

thanx

india after 10 ov.

 

[vetts]

Well, we have the game well poised at the moment. Both teams still have a chance of winning i feel. Hopefully the kiwis can pick up a few more wickets and snare a close victory....

 

[vetts]

I have one question, not related to the game really... all the players in your indian team have their first and second names initialed (D.Mongia, etc.) except for Harbharjan Singh... why is that?
