India continued the attacking type of field even after Gayle's dismissal!!! Infact Lara is one of the best test player.. But Dravid considering the pressure situations on Windies maintained the same attacking type even to Lara!!!
Munaf was absolutely amazing with his line and length... Infact he was more accurate and right on target and also enjoying his bowling himself!!!! Munaf is creating a huge impact for the first time!!!
MUNAF Vs LARA
Munaf was bowling to Lara.... He was mixing his pace and line very well... His fastest so for is 147Kmph. He bowled a quick bouncer to Lara.. Lara bent his head to leave it to the keeper but it struck the helmet... Lara recieved a nice blow on his helmet from Munaf!!! That over ended and Kumble continued from the other end.
HINDS DISMISSED BY KUMBLE
Kumble bowled to Hinds... He was using the flippers quite cleverly!!! On such flipper decieved Hinds and forced him to go for a shot very early and it got a edge and went high in the air... The ball stayed for some time there and finally Kumble caught it safe... It seemed that Dhoni and Kumble might clash but Kumble said " mine" and came running and took a simple catch!!!!
This was again the result of the fielding.... No one in legside forced Hinds to go for this shot and produced the wicket!!!! This is supposed to be Dravid's clever and risky strategy... but currently working in favour of India!!!
KUMBLE AND DRAVID's DANCE
Dravid is the happy man now... Infact he performed a small dance with Kumble The crowd has never experienced this!!! They started taking photos... Infact entire team celebrated the break through!!! Indian supporters forgot where their seat was and were jumping with excitement!!!!
Indians got both the openers back to pavilion... But still crucial batsmen left!!! Chanderpaul joins Lara in the middle!!! WI : 30/2 ( 4:28pm, Day4 )
Hinds --- 11(69) dismissed by Kumble.
Lara --- 7*(18)
Afte two quick crucial wickets, lot of responsibilty fell on this pair!!! Infact these two are capable of playing a long innings, especially Lara will turn as a dangerman if he settles down... Dravid is well aware of all these and was trying to get Lara's wicket through Munaf, who was bowling exceptionally well!!! But it seemed that Munaf was bit tired due to his lengthy spell...
LARA AND CHANDERPAUL PLAYING WITHOUT RISKS!!!
Munaf was bowling his 8th over and he delivered a slight overpitched delivery that was smashed to four by Lara... This was Munaf's opening runs in this innings!!! The very next ball was a bouncer and Lara pulled it for two runs!!! As Munaf was tired, he struggled a bit to complete that over....
Dravid then made the bowling change!!! He replaced Pathan for Kumble and introduced Agarkar for Munaf. Agarkar was smashed for four in his very first delivery by Chanderpaul. But after that both these batsmen looked very very watchful and played without any risks!!!
INDIAN BOWLING CARD
Indians have bowled well so for... In Windies point of view, they do not want further loss of wickets in this session.... and In Indian point of view, they do not want this pair to settle down.... So still a great contest is continuing between the bat and ball....
Well, both the batsmen seemed to be well settled and having a good touch... Its a known fact that if Lara settles, the consequences are worst for the opposition... Same thing is happening to India now...
Lara started going over the bowlers... He smashed Agarkar for two consecutive boundaries... Chanderpaul on the other end is giving a solid support to Lara... They are rotating strikes which is the best way to settle in... Dravid started his experiments to break this pair...
Dravid stopped Pathan and brought Kumble... Again after few overs, he stopped Agarkar and brought Sreesanth... Sreesanth was attempting bouncers but those are pulled away for runs... The bouncers which were effective in the start is producing bad effects for India now.... Lara is using his typical hook shot to the bouncers and working well for Windies now...
This pair has reached 50 partnership and looking solid at the moment... Dravid has gone for defensive field with just 25 minutes to go..... Dravid is hesitating to try Munaf as he has bowled a lengthy spell... he also had a chat with Sehwag and Sachin... The things seem that any one of those parttimers could be in action for last few minutes!!!! WI : 74/2 ( 5:36pm, Day4 )
