Story Indian Whites. Is It Possible??[Practice, Interview, Tips by Guru Gary and INDIA VS SRI LANKA]


The First Five Overs.
Well, Ryan Harris started his run up and Warner was facing the first delivery. The crowd was wild shouting "New South Wales.... New South Wales" periodically and equally. And shouted shouted but went quite after Warner nicked the ball. Luckily, the keeper dropped it as he was deceived and Warner din't allow to make him see actually from where the ball was coming. Uhh... Shouted our skipper Hauritz. Then Warner showed what he was. He exploded like an atombomb which exploded in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The next five balls fetched us 14 runs with three fours and a couple. The last ball even was a lucky escape when Warner call Watto for a run but Watto said no. He was not at crease when the ball reached danger end but Roy threw bit high, which the keeper couldn't judge.
Then Watto was on strike to Rimmington. He was a great bowler and a good one on these types of bouncy pitches. Watto played well by hitting a six and a four in the last two balls.
We were 24-0 after 2 overs with a run rate of 12. We needed to maintain that if we had thoughts of crossing 180 run mark.
Warner then calmed down by ducking three balls but he proved that before a Tsunami, everything would be calm.
The next three balls were punished for SIXES..!!:hpraise
I couldn't believe myself. 42 runs off three overs in T20 cricket is too tough.
The skipper of Bulls made Vettori come in to bowl thinking that the run rate would come to control. Vettori had some other plans, who gave a six in his first ball but took up Watto's wicket.:facepalm.
Daniel Vettori celebrated his wicket a lot as we hit 48 runs off 20 balls.
Watto attempted hitting it a six but he mistimed it and it resulted the ball go high in air and give Roy a lollipop.
I was the batsman to walk in. The 12th man Starc went running to the middle by taking some glucose water to Warner and he even said the tips what Mott asked to say him.
Meanwhile, Hedger wished me good luck and I went to Mott. He said me "Try your best.. Good Luck." Watto said me to be careful of Danny's bowling as his bowling would be tempting. I spoke out by holding a mic," PrithviRaj, 18, Right Hand Bat, Right arm Fast." I
took my bat and Hedger gave me my helmet.
I took my position and was bit nervous as I had to face Vettori in the pitches near his home. I faced him recently in the Champions League T20 at Bangalore. And to my tension, I was thinking off that match and in that match, Vettori took my wicket.:facepalm"
It was like applying some salt to the injuries.
Hmm... I went to Warner and asked what Vettori's weakness was as he had pretty good experience with Vettori in IPL.
He spoke out," Just keep giving strike, don't try for huge hits even if its tempting. Be confident. Good luck on Australian Pitches:thumbs"
I saw the field setting and the Third man was not present.:banana2
Vettori took his run up and pitched the ball right before my pads.
"Howzaaaatttt........" Shouted the Queensland Fielders but the umpire spoke out,"Not out":banana2:banana2.
Then I went to Warner he suggested me to confuse the bowler and the other fielders by moving the right leg here and there and my nodding the head up and down.
I used that trick and faced another delivers for which I got off the mark with a run.:banana2
The ball was hit through the extra covers and the fielder at extra cover stopped it.
Meanwhile, I expected it to go for a four and I ran bit slowly. But the fielder there destroyed my thought.
Then Warner took on him for a four in the next three balls, ducking the last two.
We were 53-1 after 4 overs.
We had a good start but previous over was bit helpful for the Bulls.
I took strike and it was Lee Carseldine with the ball.
Dunno why Simpson made so many bowling changes in the early overs.
I had some confidence as I got bit adjusted with Aussie Pitches. And then, I had nothing to hit except boundaries in the over.
I extracted 12 runs in form of boundaries but the last three balls disappointing as it gave us only two runs.
No matters, we were 67-1 after 5 overs.
 
Warner lucky escape in the first Ball of the over and the last ball of the over ........:)

67-1 after 5 overs its good score to start off

Interview by me with Mott

Good track to Bat on and may remain the same till the End ...:D


ALL THE BEST score more

Good Update mate .............:)
 
very good update..
 
Nice update. Looking good after 5 overs. Best of luck for the whole tournament.
 

The Rest Innings..
David Warner was on 36 and I was on 15 when we were to end up the default power play. We had to choose one over as power play over and it was named Batting Power play.

It was Vettori who started bowling to Warner.
Whoomp....... High in the air..... and.....:facepalm Straight in fielders Hand.
Warner Parted me and it was Thronley, who got onto crease. He came to me and just asked what he spoke to me before that one. I replied that he told me he wanted to maintain the scoring rate. He said me not to do that as it was not Sub continent type pitches. And I simply nodded. It was me to take strike as we batsmen crossed before he took that beauty.

Vettori was looking confident and was aiming for my wicket. He bowled me and I just ducked it, the next was punished for a four. I gave the strike to Thronley by picking up single and he managed to extract a four and a couple. And then, the match went on till 17th over in the same manner. Scoring two or three runs and a four. It was too much that we din't lose even a wicket till that and I was on 48 with 35 deliveries. Thronley was at 55 with 47 on his account.
Then, we thought of changing the course of the game. We decided to hit by taking some risk potion. I was facing and it was Vettori to bowl his last over.
Oohh...... and yeah...... I started running and WTF??
"Come up Dom........" and I ran back when he started running....
Eek... and here we go........... and Thats it. Hes gone.:facepalm
Thronley was walking to dug out sending Hedger in.
He came and said Mr Mott said. I was on strike and ooh..... its a six.....:banana2 my first in the competition, over wicketkeeper....
It was bit like Tendulkar Paji's upper cut but the power and timing helped it in going all the way for a six.
It was my half century and the crowd clapped...:D I basically knew that it was my half ton but acted like I dunno that it came:D:D.
And 4 balls were to go to end that over..
And the next was resulted in me giving the strike to Hedger.
And Hedger made it possible. 2 sixes in those last three balls.:eek:
We were in a commanding position with 175 on board with two to go.
We were on fire to get 200.
And it was Hopes bowling the 19th. The first ball turned out to be two, and then, it was a four all the way. It was a paddle sweep by me:banana2. And then, tried hitting KP's switch shot, but no run was extracted. And thank god, I din't got out. And I gave strike to Hedger to face the last two, which he hit for two fours. Finally, we were 190 with one to go with a power play.
I was facing it and it was Rimmington bowling.
Ooh.... the first one hit hard on my ribs, but ran for two runs. And then.... two fours and a six:banana2. Then, two balls were to go and I ducked the first one and in the last ball of the innings, I was bowled.:facepalm
But no problems, we were in a commanding position. 206-3 after 20 overs.
I was the starring one here:D:D. 78 runs off some 48 balls.
OOh...When I was walking to pavilion, everyone were standing clapping to be.:eek:
I never expected that to happen. And I took some glucose water.

To be continued....​

Binnu added 19 Minutes and 16 Seconds later...

And guys, don't total the innings total. Thats a great blunder:D. And I'll fix it when I log on through my lappie again:)
 
Good run mate.... Surprised you have written so much through mobile...
