Misbah Ul Haq bowling strange.............
 
why was Misbah Ul Haq bowling in my match?

In one of my matches, the other team had a dude bowl who had never bowled in 53 T20's and took 3 wickets. :eek:

Misbah Ul Haq bowling strange.............

Here's the answer to your questions:

One thing guys-
Cricket Sim 09 still has few setbacks,so I'd like you all to co-operate as this is going to be a fun tournament for enjoyment and the main thing wil be a 50-over one.
I'll try to make it as perfect as I can and have been working on it from 2 days now.

Ball-by-ball Commentary-

Code:
0.1  P.Kumar to G.Gambhir, And the batsman pulls out the sweep shot! Takes a lot of skill to play that, and he has enough to place it for two.  (2) 
0.2  P.Kumar to G.Gambhir, Full toss, the batsman doesn't cash in and hits it straight to the man in the deep. Only one.  (1) 
0.3  P.Kumar to T.Dilshan, One more to the total.  (1) 
0.4  P.Kumar to G.Gambhir, That was a very good delivery.  (0) 
0.5  P.Kumar to G.Gambhir, , Leg Byes, another 1 run(s)  (1) 
0.6  P.Kumar to G.Gambhir, And it's a DLF Maxix...uhh...six runs!  (6)

1.1  L.Malinga to T.Dilshan, No shot offered.  (0) 
1.2  L.Malinga to T.Dilshan, Short, wide, and played on! That's poor, poor batting, the bowler is estatic about getting a wicket off that!

  (0) 
1.3  L.Malinga to R.Taylor, Driven down the ground to long-on, the batsmen get only one  (1) 
1.4  L.Malinga to G.Gambhir, Hit hard but straight to the fielder, the batsmen scamper through for the single!  (1) 
1.5  L.Malinga to R.Taylor, Placed nicely into the gap. Two runs.  (2) 
1.6  L.Malinga to R.Taylor, Dabbed into the gap for a quick single. The captain decides to shift the field around a little bit.  (1)

2.2  P.Kumar to R.Taylor, That's skied, but he's dropped it! Two more runs.  (2) 
2.3  P.Kumar to R.Taylor, And time for the reverse-sweep! Quite a daring and often needless shot if you ask me, but the batsman pulls it off well enough to get two more.  (2) 
2.4  P.Kumar to R.Taylor, The batsman has a wild slog, and gets enough to send the ball to the fence for four! Not the best looking shot, but it certainly was effective.  (4) 
2.5  P.Kumar to R.Taylor, Down the track and driven through midwicket. There is no fielder in the deep so Long On has to run around to field it, and so in the meanwhile the batsmen get three. Poor bowling but good placement.  (3) 
2.6  P.Kumar to G.Gambhir, Going, Going, Gone! Six Runs!  (6)

15.1  S.Bangar to R.Ponting, Oooh! Good ball, yorker length delivery on the legstump. The batsman just barely gets his bat down on time, and the non striker urges him through for a quick single.  (1) 
15.2  S.Bangar to A.Nayar, Tucked away to the leg side, they're running hard, but only manage a single.Edged and through the vacant third slip region. Just after the skipper had removed a man from that region. Don't you just hate that? One run.  (1) 
15.3  S.Bangar to R.Ponting, EDGED AND TAKE...DROPPED! The keeper drops it! A simple chance and he fluffs it! Single.  (1) 
15.4  S.Bangar to A.Nayar, Yorker full and outside offstump, the batsman just squeezes it away for a quick single to cover.  (1) 
15.5  S.Bangar to R.Ponting, That wasn't a bad ball, but the batsmen went at it with everything except the kitchen sink, and got enough on it to send it over the fence! 6 more!  (6) 
15.6  S.Bangar to R.Ponting, Good shot, they're running hard, the throw comes in, but they've managed a comfortable two.  (2)

0.3  P.Kumar to T.Dilshan, One more to the total.  (1)

1.4  L.Malinga to G.Gambhir, Hit hard but straight to the fielder, the batsmen scamper through for the single!  (1) 
1.5  L.Malinga to R.Taylor, Placed nicely into the gap. Two runs.  (2)

2.4  P.Kumar to R.Taylor, The batsman has a wild slog, and gets enough to send the ball to the fence for four! Not the best looking shot, but it certainly was effective.  (4) 
2.5  P.Kumar to R.Taylor, Down the track and driven through midwicket. There is no fielder in the deep so Long On has to run around to field it, and so in the meanwhile the batsmen get three. Poor bowling but good placement.  (3)

5.4  L.Malinga to G.Gambhir, The batsman calls for a single, but hesitates and nearly gets his partner run out! An effort that would make Owais Shah proud! No run.  (0)

5.6  L.Malinga to G.Gambhir, Good short ball, the batsman is caught off guard and top edges it high in the air! The keeper is after it...he's runs hard...and the ball lands just after him! He drops a glove and hurls the ball in to keep the batsman to just a single.  (1)

1.1  A.Agarkar to A.Strauss, , Wide, one run  (1) 
1.1  A.Agarkar to A.Strauss, Good short ball, the batsman is caught off guard and top edges it high in the air! The keeper is after it...he's runs hard...and the ball lands just after him! He drops a glove and hurls the ball in to keep the batsman to just a single.  (1) 
1.2  A.Agarkar to H.Gibbs, GOT HIM!! Oh no, wait, sorry. It's just a dot ball. My bad.  (0) 
1.3  A.Agarkar to H.Gibbs, Ahhh that's poor fielding. The batsman taps it away for a single, and the fielder fires in an over-eager throw well wide of the stumps. No one is backing up and some the batsmen run two more in overthrows! The captain isn't happy!  (3) 
1.4  A.Agarkar to A.Strauss, That was a very good delivery.  (0) 
1.5  A.Agarkar to A.Strauss, Neat little late cut, beats the slip and short third man. The batsmen get two.  (2)

2.3  M.Ntini to H.Gibbs, The batsman has a wild slog, and gets enough to send the ball to the fence for four! Not the best looking shot, but it certainly was effective.  (4) 
2.4  M.Ntini to H.Gibbs, Edged and through the vacant gully region for four! And just after the captained had removed a man from there! Don't you just hate it when that happens?  (4) 
2.5  M.Ntini to H.Gibbs, Good length delivery on the stumps, the batsman just leans forward and drives it past mid-on for four more. Lovely shot.  (4)

Cochin Crusaders batting first on Flat track set the tone early in the innings. Dwayne Bravo and Shane Watson had a fantastic partnership between them and carried Crusaders to a good total. Shahid Afridi came in the end and provided an excellent finishing touch to well-crafted innings.


Kanpur Kiwis had a mammoth task of chasing 208 runs. In very first over,Gul sent Dhawan and Dravid back in the pavillion. But,that proved to be a blessing-in-disguise for Kanpur Kiwis. Manhas came in and along with Ryder never looked back. Both put on an excellent show and there was a race between both as who will reach the century first. In the end, Manhas got his hundred and Ryder was on 97 runs. It was an excellent chase as Kiwis won the game comprehensively.


Mithun Manhas for his brilliant batting was named the Man of the match.

17.1  M.Patel to J.Ryder, The batsman calls for a single, but hesitates and nearly gets his partner run out! An effort that would make Owais Shah proud! No run.  (0) 
17.2  M.Patel to J.Ryder, GOT HIM!! Oh no, wait, sorry. It's just a dot ball. My bad.  (0) 
17.3  M.Patel to J.Ryder, Down the track and driven through midwicket. There is no fielder in the deep so Long On has to run around to field it, and so in the meanwhile the batsmen get three. Poor bowling but good placement.  (3) 
17.4  M.Patel to M.Manhas, Tucked on the off side, two more to the total.  (2) 
17.5  M.Patel to M.Manhas, That six has cleared the car park!  (6) 
17.6  M.Patel to M.Manhas, Easy single.  (1) 


End of over 18
Kanpur Kiwis    207/2 (RR : 11.5)    Required RR(0.5)
J.Ryder     97 (49b)
M.Manhas     101 (56b)
M.Patel    4-0-34-0


18.1  M.Johnson to M.Manhas, That one deviated sharply of the pitch, the batsman had no chance of playing that. Dot ball.  (0) 
18.2  M.Johnson to M.Manhas, Reverse sweep, and it's four! What an outrageous shot! The batsman is all smiles after pulling that one off!  (4) 

The final scorecard for second innings was : 
Score: 211
 Wickets : 2

Kanpur Kiwis vs. Cochin Crusaders


Cochin Crusaders - 208/6 in 20.0 overs. 
Kanpur Kiwis - 211/2 in 18.2 overs. 



Kanpur Kiwis wins the match by 8 wickets
 
Wooohooooo!
Daniel Vettori's the man!
That's why he's our skipper!:banana2:banana2:banana2:banana2:banana2

But,Abhishek Nayar did the job for us!
With Pietersen,Raina and Dhoni,all gone cheaply...i thought it was all over for us but Abhishek Nayar produced the innings of his life to see us through with Vettori ensuring that his efforts didn't go down the drain.

We're back in action again baby!:happy:happy:happy:happy:happy
