India in England/Ireland/Scotland

[Eddie]

well 121 needed from 18 overs with 8 wkt left..

you'd do that 90 times out of 100 at least

we'd need to get rid of yuvraj AND dravid in quick time to have any chance

yuvraj gone.. maybe a glimmer for england now

 

[SaiSrini]

What the heck man Yuvraj??? That makes it tight for India.

Why is Dravid coming now? Where is Uthappa? He is a top order batsman. Anyways, India need the Dravid that has been on show in this series - aggressive and creative. Anyways, we have Uthappa and Dhoni still and that can give us some confidence when the remaining runs is down to less than 70 odd. Gambhir seems to be doing well (touchwood).

 

[RoboRocks]

Well the wicket of Yuvraj was needed.

There is batting to come so still a lot for England to do.

 

[Eddie]

if dravid is there at the end india will have won..

OMG shah gets dravid !

was a poor ball too


another game going to the wire..hasn't this been a great series..

i can not remember the last time i enjoyed a 1-day series this much.

 

[Adarsh]

Oh come on India. Don't throw away the series now !

 

[Eddie]

i wonder if dhoni can resist shah...

isn't this the ground he got out slogging KP in the test series?

 

[ZexyZahid]

For a moment India seemed to be cruising to victory, but now they're struggling again.

 

[Eddie]

somethings going to give here i can feel something brewing

gambhir out..

the wheels are falling off here for india

 

[ZexyZahid]

85 runs to get from 60 balls. India will have to take some risks now and go for shots, otherwhile the runrate migh get higher.

Well just as I wrote that Gambhir took that risk and he is out now.

Uthappa comes and he and Dhoni are the only batsmen left, who can make a difference.

 

[Eddie]

whats this uthappa like ? i never seen him play before..

would it be fair to say all indias hopes rest on Dhoni now ?

rate req is now 9.3..

 

[aditya123]

whats this uthappa like ? i never seen him play before..

would it be fair to say all indias hopes rest on Dhoni now ?

rate req is now 9.3..

He scored a 85 on debut against England.

Check out Uthappa's strikerate, so you can see how his playing style is: http://content-uk.cricinfo.com/engvind/content/current/player/35582.html

India made 10 runs in the previous over, so it's still pretty exciting.

72 runs from 48 balls needed.

 

[Eddie]

5 wides..sloppy

dhoni's had a quiet series.. its almost like he's due..

would feel A LOT safer with him out

some impressive stats there..he has a very high percentage of run in boundaries too..

both teams looking for one more good over..

 

[anakwalajinn]

It's been a while ago since Dhoni hit a six... I mean, I remember he used to do it a lot some series ago, then he was India's "boom boom", but now even when he comes to hit in the last overs chasing or not chasing, his strike rate is below 90-80 and I cannot remember him hitting any six or many fours...

Uthappa & Dhoni batting, 56 required from 36
26 from the last 3 overs
Still anyones game if this partnership is on...

India should have had a Mascha-how-you-spell-his-name-enas in the team

 

[Eddie]

aaaah miss-field ruined the over
