( A Chance was missed due to No-Slips )

Well, pakistan players came out the dressing room following the umpires. There was a huge roar from the spectators of both India and Pakistan. Indian openers, Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly came out of the dressing room and Indian fans have started shouting the Sourav's name more infact.:D It is prbly becos its Kolkata which is the home ground of Ganguly.

Well after everything was ready, umpire asked Akhtar, who is opening the bowling, to proceed. Sachin was at the striker's end. Sachin and Akhtar are always an interesting contest :)

Akhtar's over started off with watchful stroke of Sachin. This seemed that Sachin was not in attacking mood. In the same over, Sachin was decieved by an bouncer. The crowd went a bit silent to see this defensive approach in the start. Then the fifth delivery was a great chance for Pakistan. Akhtar offered width and Sachin,while attempting to play at it, got an edge but luckily there were no slips. It wud have been an easy catch for first slip.... It took everyone to a great suprise becos Inzi did a big mistake for not keeping slips for Tendulkar with new ball!

Immediately, the next delivery, Akhtar bowled an similar delivery and Sachin went for his favourite cover drive and it bisected the gap between the fielders very well and went for a four! This was the first runs coming for India with the boundary.

With only one over ended, Sachin seemed to be defensive except for those two last deliveries. But Still a long way to go!




India :- 8/0(1)
S.Tendulkar : 8*(6)
S.Ganguly : 0*(0)

Sachin Taking The Control!
( Ganguly Departed, but Tendulkar Dominating )

Well, Sachin and Sourav started with a steady approach of scoring runs but Tendulkar grew in confidence ball by ball. Sourav was also confident but in Asif's over, Sourav was departed in an unfortunate manner!

Ganguly's Wicket, A Doubtful Decision!

In one of the Asif's over, Ganguly tried to play on offide which is his favourite shot but the ball did not get the movement he expected which resulted in ball striking the pads. There was a huge shout from Asif and the keeper. The umpire, after thinking for long time, raised his finger and Asif was delighted.

Ganguly was disappointed the most and he made his way back to pavilion nodding his head. Sourav was looking confident but was trapped for LBW by Asif. Well, the replay showed that it might marginally miss the stumps and it seems doubt was given in benefit of the bowler which costs huge for India though! India expected a good opening start but Sourav was dismissed in unfortunate way.

Tendulkar's Aggressive Start

In the other end, Sachin was dominating the bowlers. He was very confident in his foot work and played some excellent shots especially lovely cover drives bisecting the fielders in inner circle.

Akhtar was bowling well but he went for runs in one of the overs. Sachin finally dominated Akhtar with huge back to back sixes in similar style. Akhtar got frustrated and gave a sarcastic smile towards Sachin and Tendulkar nodded the head in his style inturn. :)

Tendulkar's strokes made Inzi to confuse as how to set the field for this man. Inzi was well aware that Tendulkar could be more dangerous if he stays on. So Inzi is looking for the wicket of Tendulkar.

Well, Ten Overs ended and India's scoring rate is above 6 per over becos of Tendulkar. Bowlers are trying to create opportunities to dismiss the Master but Sachin outsmarted both the bowlers so far!




India :- 63/1(10)
S.Tendulkar : 46*(34)
V.Sehwag : 5*(11)


S.Ganguly : 10(15) Dismissed by Asif.
Required Rate : 6.4 R/Over

After Ten Overs, Pak:- 54/0
