ICCCT2006: Group A

[sohum]

I have a feeling Dwayne Smith will get a boundary. After Agarkar gets two more wides.

 

[viral1991]

Smith gone!!!!! This match is turning out to be disastrously close now! Great delivery by Agarkar though!

 

[sohum]

How come they need 5? The batsmen didn't get a run there...?

 

[JikJak]

Smith OUT!!!
the audience has gone crazy, quite right to!

 

[sohum]

Smith gone!!!!! This match is turning out to be disastrously close now! Great delivery by Agarkar though!

Oh damn, your coverage is about 10 seconds earlier than me.

 

[JikJak]

4 off 3!!!

oo its close!!!

They've won!!!
Four and they've won, the crowd just went silent there

 

[ZoraxDoom]

ANother wicket???? What the hell is going on? Drop catch? Iffy run out?

Both apparently!!

48.6 Pathan to Samuels, 1 run, OUT, slower ball, Samuels skies the pull shot, Dravid drops the catch at midwicket but he throws the ball to the nonstriker's end and Sarwan who was trying to complete the second run is well short, it's all going a bit crazy out there
RR Sarwan run out 53 (81b 2x4 0x6) SR: 65.43

Insane!!

One more!!

49.1 Agarkar to Smith, OUT, bowled him, Smith tries to heave it down the ground and misses completely, the ball crashes into the stumps, unbelieveable stuff
DR Smith b Agarkar 0 (1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

Ah, Windies win a deserved win.

Boundary from Samuels sealed it.

Like I said, India were crap throughout. This was flattering to them.

 

[sohum]

Well, at least they made it exciting.

 

[viral1991]

Thats it, great win for the Windies! Though they made it extremely close!

India VS Australia should be the main match now, because its a knockout now!

 

[JikJak]

Well done windies, they've beaten India at India, well done to them they fought well, and well done to India for making it so close, a super game!

 

[sohum]

India VS Australia should be the main match now, because its a knockout now!

Yeah. When is that game? Just figuring out how long we have to find at least 2 batsmen who can put 50 up in the same innings.

 

[Adarsh]

What a game! The Windies left it too late and they nearly made a mess out of it. Agarkar is rubbish. Utter rubbish. You can't bowl wides in these sort of situations. Even the last ball was short and wide. Awful. RP Singh as well.

On the other hand, Harbhajan was brilliant. The wicket of Bravo was great, he kept bowling the doosras and then beat him with one that turned sharp. The spinners are key to India. Patel and Pathan are the only decent seamers and even they're inconsistent. I hope they don't go with RP Singh against Australia. Bring Powar back.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Pathan decent? He's hopeless until the ball swings. Ajit is much better, although why he was bowling short deliveries at this point of the innings is besides me...

 

[surendar]

I feel R.Powar must have been definitely in the squad instead of RPSingh who was struggling a lot in his line!!!

Powar must have made a difference as batsmen were finding it difficult to play spinners!!!

Powar who had a impressive performance in last match was dropped today especially in the track where spinners playing a major role!!! Even Sehwag was impressive in bowling... Cant even imagine to go with four fast bowlers on Indian Tracks ! Really all credits go to the selection process of team XI ( afterall, they didnt even bother to pick inform talented Sreesanth in squad ..Thats Indian selection)

 

[evertonfan]

Well, what a thriller that turned out to be. I have a feeling it was more to do with the Windies awful batting rather than good Indian bowling towards the end. Ajit Agarkar seemed to have caught the Harmison bug tonight.
