You see the pic there in the first link?I didn't get the reason.
There was another game in which we chased down a mammoth 350+ total and the caption went something like "Gambhir/Ponting wonders how much more is enough for the bowlers to defend"
0.1 Doug Bollinger to Brendon McCullum, He didn't middle that, but there is enough power on it to get the batsmen three. (3)
0.2 Doug Bollinger to Manish Pandey, He's hit that high and hard...the fielder is coming underneath it...will he catch it? NOOOO! He spills the chance! And to add insult to injury, the ball rolls away for four runs. The bowler is fuming! (4)
0.3 Doug Bollinger to Manish Pandey, 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)
0.4 Doug Bollinger to Brendon McCullum, 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)
0.5 Doug Bollinger to Manish Pandey, The run the first hard, they come for two, the fielder has the ball, they call for the third...will they get there!?! The throw is in, it's wide, the batsman makes the dive...and he's in! Excellent running, and poor fielding. 3 more! (3)
0.6 Doug Bollinger to Brendon McCullum, In the air, and gone!

2.6 Doug Bollinger to Gautam Gambhir, He walks across his stumps trying to paddle it away, but misses it. And the keeper's appealing! There was a sound as the ball passed the batsman, and the umpire is unmoved. Replays show it was off the pad. Good call. (0)
