Huge Target For Windies!

( A great entertainment provided from Sachin & Dhoni at the end )
With last 10 Overs left, Lara was really confused about the bowling options he had. Edwards was the only successful bowler so far & he also had only few overs (2) left. With bold risks, Lara shuffled Banks,Gayle,Bradshaw & Bravo in last 10 but both Dhoni & Tendulkar finished off the Indian innings in style!
Tendulkar's Magnificent Century!
Tendulkar's main intension was to pick singles and give Dhoni the strike as Dhoni wud be more effective not only becos of fresh batsman at the crease but also due to ability to hit big ones! Infact Sachin was excecuting that strategy perfectly between 40-45 Overs after which he also joined Dhoni in going over the bowlers!
Tendulkar played excellent shots all around the ground and made the fielders to run hard behind the ball. Lara was totally clueless of Sachin's approach. He was adjusting the fielding often.. was having regular discussion with his bowlers... but all of no use! Sachin spotted the gaps well and was able to score regular boundaries.
Meanwhile, Sachin Tendulkar reached yet another century in this Champions Trophy and raised his bat proudly towards the crowd and dressing room! All the Indian fans started jumping over the seats and the reponse was excellent. Also the players in the dressing room & Indian coach stood up to praise this excellent innings! What an innings this has been from Sachin.. Even Lara was very much impressed and went towards Sachin to give a warm handshake!
Tendulkar's Excellent Record in Chennai Continues........
Dhoni's Fast fifty!
All Indian fans are having a great time in the stadium. In one end, Sachin was providing an superb entertainment throughout while in another end, Dhoni started doing the same with his sixes! Lara was the most unhappy person in the entire stadium. He had no idea how to control this situation and almost gave up in the final overs wanting to finish off the 50 Overs soon!
Dhoni, who played first 20 balls patiently, started to go wild over the bowlers in his style after that! Dhoni was able to get the regular boundaries especially sixes very well. He scored some huge sixes which made all the spectators very much excited. Even Windies fans started liking those big shots. But there was lots of disappointments seen among Windies fans.
Dhoni with his quick fire, reached his half century and recieved applauses from everyone. Tendulkar also cheered Dhoni for the half century and both the batsmen are already on the right path to set a massive target for Windies.
Well, atlast for Lara, 50 Overs ended! Windies failed to break this Sachin-Dhoni partnership. These two batsmen fetched lot & lots of runs ( almost 100 ) in last 10 Overs taking India to a huge total of 341 with the loss of just 3 Wickets. Dhoni remained unbeaten on 69 while Tendulkar remained unbeaten on 116. These two recieved standing applauses once again while returning to dressing room. Windies players also returned to dressing room but all looked disappointed on their performance in the field. The only hope for Windies now is the flat pitch conditions favouring batsmen a lot than bowlers!
