AFTER TEA --- SOME TROUBLE BY HINDS!!!

Well, Indian coach seems to be happy in the dressing room during TEA!!! They should have decided the strategy for the last session!!!! TEA break ends.... The players and umpires walked into the field for the last session of Day1... Sachin and Dhoni came from the dressing room and both looked confident while walking!!!

The last session was started by Gayle. Just one run came from it... Every one expected Lawson to bowl...but it was a big suprise... Lara brought W.Hinds back into the attack... that too when Sachin was facing!!! Really a courageous decision by the captain.... But this time also the treatment was the same... 7 runs were scored by Sachin (4,2,1)!!!!

It seems that Sachin is enjoying the bowling of Hinds!!! The next over was tight over by Gayle... Really Gayle is having a nice time in this test match!!!!
Then some overs continued with the steady rotations of strikes!!!!

Sachin reached 80 and Dhoni reached 10... The score was 211!!!! Hinds continued his spell. Sachin was at the strikers end. The very first ball, it was a huge shout from Hinds and Windies players for a LBW...Hinds moved the ball and it was very slow also!!! Sachin while attempting to go at it, the ball struck his pads!!!!

SACHIN Vs HINDS

The umpire turned down the appeal. He refused as it was going to miss the leg stumps. Hinds cannot believe it!!! He was staring at the umpire as well as at Sachin!!!! He still cant believe it!!!! Lara also showing some signs at the bowler!!! All the players were disappointed!!!! This is a tricky bowling as he is moving the ball as well as maintaining the slow pace.


GOOD DECISION FROM THE UMPIRE

The entire arena of Windies support remained silent for few minutes!!! If the unpire had given it, then that wud have been a turning point of the first innings!!!!! Then the remaining balls were bolwed...Sachin remain contented to make only single in that over.


INDIA : 212/4
Sachin : 81*(98)
Dhoni : 10* (40)

Yeah I totally agree with your every word here.
 
THE ROLE CHANGES...

It was Sachin who was blasting all over the ground. Dhoni was contented to be silent. But after the LBW appeal of Hinds, Something happened to Sachin. He started playing defensively. Also Gayle was operating at one end bowling extremly good lines. Hinds was taken off and Lawson was brought in. This time Sachin is not even to bothered to touch the deliveries. he just let it go to the wicket keeper.

Some chat was going between Sachin and Dhoni. After that the things were different. The role entirely changed. Dhoni took the role of master and started to go over the bowlers.

ITs DHONI's TURN NOW!!!!

Dhoni started with a super sweep of Gayle that resulted in the two bounce over the rope for a four. Then he kept on continuing the momentum going. Gayle was taken off and Lara brought Powel in. This did not affect this patnership. Dhoni moved to 37. The partnership reached 100. This is the first century partnership for India in this innings. Things are looking different from the last session.

CUNNING LARA

Lara noted this Sachin's sudden slow approach. He just adjusted the field in a wide spread manner. Sachin was even finding it hard to get runs. He is now playing a support role to Dhoni, just picking singles and giving strike to Dhoni. This is really a dynamic change of strategy working for India!!!! Lara is still keep on trying to break this pair. The score also reached 250. India seems to be in good position.


SCORE: 250/4(71 overs)
Sachin : 89(118)
Dhoni : 37(86)
 
END OF DAY1

Dhoni and Sachin were going so well!!! But Windies bolwers outsmarted them for last 40 minutes. Sachin was already in a defensive mood while Dhoni was going strongly at the other end. But W.Hinds's slow deleveries at the last session really frustrated both the batsmen. The ball came very low than they expected and also moved a bit!!! Sachin didnt take any risks. Dhoni attempted some but missed those.

Lara brought Gayle and Edwards also in the middle. Gayle was the pick of the bolwers today. He bolwed exceptionally well. His tight lines made Indian batsmen to go in a defensive mood.

Edwards suprised Sachin with short quicky deliveries!!!! But Sachin is used to these... so just bent down to leave the ball. Sachin and Dhoni looked very very defensive for last 40 minutes. But still Lara was not satisfied because they didnt get a wicket in this session. He wanted to break this pair but wasnt able to do it!!!! Both the batsmen took singles whenever there was a chance.There were no boundaries for last 40 minutes.

India ended the day with 271/4 with Sachin and Dhoni in great form. They went to the dressing room quite contented and also the coach was little happy that they didnt loose a wicket in the last session.

INDIA : 271/4 ( End Of Day1)
Sachin : 96*(161)
Dhoni : 44*(121)
Partnership : 126*


More Detailed analysis are coming in FOURTH UMPIRE shortly!!!!
