Story India's Journey To WCup,Special Edition-Johnnie Walker is back!

[plympilgrim]

high run rate required but with Sachin set at the crease it is still in the balance.

If sachin gets out it will probably be curtains for the Indians, but Dhoni is still to come and we know what he can do

 

[mehkar]

come on Paki's get Wicket of Little Master
BTW nice work mate keep it up

 

[The Blazer]

Hah! Now we got 'em in a bit of bother! Afridi should look to take the attack to the Indians now; will probably pick up a few wickets.

 

[mehkar]

Game Enters Climax!
( Tired Tendulkar Scored Only One boundary in Last 27Balls )​

After Tendulkar reaching century, he got tired a bit and was looking more contented to keep Yuvraj strike by taking singles whenever he gets the strike. This is definitely not good for India as the team needed him the most in this crucial stage! But Yuvraj adjusted according himself to the situation in a matured way and he took the responsibility from the tired Tendulkar.

Yuvraj's Excellent Entertainment

Yuvraj singh, after understanding Tendulkar's fitness, handled the situation very well. Pakistan bowlers tried to attack this new batsmen but inturn, Yuvi started attacking the bowlers. This brought the life back to Indian spectators after seeing Tendulkar's fitness struggle.

Yuvraj made sure that he kept himself on strike most of the times and played some lovely shots all around the ground. Of all the shots he played, the excellent one was a sweep shot from Razzaq's slow delivery. This sweep shot bisected the fielders near the boundary perfectly and went for a boundary. Also, Yuvraj got a huge six in same Razzaq's over where Razzaq attempted an yorker.

Inzi was disappointed with this approach and was shuffling the bowlers with S.Malik, Kaneria, Afridi and Razzaq but the aggressive approach of Yuvraj continued.

Tendulkar's Luck Continues
( Inzi Misses the RunOut Chance )

Tendulkar's running also slowed down and is struggling a lots with his fitness to bat. In order to keep Yuvraj on strike, he took a risk and started to run towards the danger end. Tendulkar was many distance away from stumps when the ball was thrown to stumps by Pakistan skipper, Inzi and it missed the stumps completely. He attempted an direct hit towards the stumps and Razzaq missed to back up completely and Tendulkar shd have been run out by a big distance but his luck is still favouring him and this is third time that luck is in favour of Tendulkar.

Yuvraj Dismissed

Yuvraj singh became responsible for his own wicket. Sachin played an late cut and the ball was directly going to the fielder. Yuvraj called Sachin for a quick single to take the strike and the throw was directed towards Yuvraj's end. Yuvraj made a huge dive while Akmal taking the bails off.

The decision went to Third Umpire. The replay showed that, inspite of the huge dive made by Yuvraj, the bat was in air while Akmal taking the bails off and the red light glowed resulting in the important dismissal off yuvraj.

Yuvraj was disappointed but it was his own call and made his way towards the dressing room. His quick fire coming to an end in unfortunate way. Also, if the throw was towards Tendulkar's end, then it wud have been a run out by miles. But under pressure, the fielder had no time to judge the ends. Anyways, it produced the wicket for Pakistan.

Well, 40 Overs ended, The asking rate is still above 7 Runs per over for India. Dhoni joins Sachin at the crease. But Tendulkar's approach in last 10 overs was very defensive which included only one boundary apart from running. So the game entering climax, with Tendulkar still batting, Pakistan bowlers need to be alert and shd try to break this pair as Dhoni is also capable of hitting huge ones. While Indians need Dhoni to get some massive ones with the support of Tendulkar. Its still anyone's game!


India :- 243/4(40)
S.Tendulkar : 126*(122)
M.S.Dhoni : 9*(5)


Yuvraj Singh : 37(32) Dismissed by Razzaq

C'mon India it's still winnable! Sachin needs to up it a bit here, and keep his head.

 

[plympilgrim]

my two men are in now, if they can get it down to below a run-a-ball they can play sensibly
these two need to stay in, although Pathan is yet to come in and he can bat

 

[mehkar]

Hope India will win now
But cricket is cricket nothing is impossible .......Might India collapse and results in Pak's Victory
Btw
Nice work sofar suren

[surendar]

these two need to stay in, although Pathan is yet to come in and he can bat

Sorry Matt, Pathan is not in the TeamXI He has been dropped in this match. It wud be Powar next if a wicket goes!

 

[plympilgrim]

oops, fine then powars in next, i don't know anyhthing about him other than he's a spin bolwer. but if you take a word close to his name, Power, he should blast lots of 6's!

 

[The Blazer]

Powar can't hit sixes. Too many parathas!

Match in the balance. Shoaib and Asif will come back in the last couple of overs and hopefully cause an upset.

Dhoni Hammers The Bowlers
( India Need 36 Runs from Last 5 Overs )​

It was Razzaq and Asif who was operated by Inzi. But both were smashed by Dhoni. It was expected that Tendulkar wud be a problem for Pakistan but Dhoni had now turned out as a threat for them with quick fire from him.

Dhoni smashed two huge sixes off Asif's over and another two huge sixes off Razzaq's over. Razzaq was bowling well but now was smashed by Dhoni. These four quick sixes brought down the asking rate but its still above six runs per over. Inzi was clueless of Dhoni's approach.

These four sixes shocked the entire Pakistan team and it made Sachin more easy now to rotate singles and was infact contented to keep Dhoni on strike. Dhoni, in addition to these two sixes, smashed four boundaries off Afridi. Inzi shuffled Asif,Afridi and Akhtar but the result remained unaffected.

Dhoni's Boundaries are as follows,

* Two Sixes from Asif
* Two Sixes from Razzaq
* One four from Asif and One four from Afridi

Note :- Asif who gave 33 Runs from 6 overs is now with 49 Runs off 7 Overs becos of Dhoni's fireworks.

Well, 45 Overs have been completed. The pressure on India has been reduced a bit becos of Dhoni's fireworks. With five overs remaining, the pressure & tension is filled in both the dressing room. Pakistan is worried about this pair while Indians are worried about the required run rate.


India :- 283/4(45)
S.Tendulkar : 134*(133)
M.S.Dhoni : 41*(24) 4 Sixes 2 fours


India Need 36 Runs from 30 Balls
Last 5 Overs : 40 Runs
