Now Ravi Shastri is waiting with the mike for the last segment of the match i.e Presentation Ceremony!


praviaw7.jpg



R.S : Welcome back to the presentation ceremony of the third match between India and Australia where at the end, it looked completely like an one sided game finished in favour of Aussies! But overall, we had a good cricket!

R.S : To start up with our presentation, we first like to call the loosing captain, Rahul Dravid.... Can u please come up to the stage please!

R.S : Well Rahul, tough luck today! Whats ur general thoughts on this match?


dravidspeaksiu3.jpg


RahulDravid said:
Well, We had a tough game today especially with our bowlers! Also Ponting n Martyn played well! We got initial break throughs but failed to pick wickets at regular intervals and that let us down in this game!

R.S : What about ur batting lineup, they succeeded earlier but failed later?

Rahul Dravid said:
Yeah its very unfortunate that We were not able to convert the good start provided by Viru and Sachin to a good end! Yuvraj seemed to be promising but he failed after a good start! We shd have tried more to get some huge score on the board as 230+ is a chasable score in ODIs! We have to work more on batting as well as bowling and we are trying to learn from the mistakes everytime we make it!
R.S : Already two games down for u now and so any changes in the next game?

Rahul Dravid said:
The remaining two games are going to be more important to us..Also they are never going to be easy too... We have to discuss as a team and sort out our mistakes! We will try our level best and lets see what happens!


R.S : Thanx Rahul and Good Luck for your next two games! :)

Rahul Dravid said:
Thanx Ravi!

R.S : Now Its time to call the winning captain, Ricky Ponting! Also before i call him, i also like to announce that Ponting is also Man of The Match of Today's match for his brilliant performance as a skipper as well as a batsman! :clap

R.S : Ricky now can u come up to the stage please to have few words with us :)


R.S : So whats ur thought about this wicket as it seems that u enjoyed batting very much :p

Ricky Ponting said:
Yeah the wicket was not that bad compared to previous games.. the ball was little bit coming nicely to bat.. So had fun in batting :p Also Marto provided me a great support at other end! Totally happy that we batted second in this wicket!

R.S : And on your team's performance in bowling?

Ricky Ponting said:
Wel, we had initial trouble with Indian openers but after they departed, everything seemed to be in control! Symonds n Bracky did a fine job of sharing seven wickets that helped us a lot in restricting below 250! :)

R.S : Here is the question everyone wanted to know :D, Australia inspite of getting onto the bad start while bowling generally has the habit of coming back well in the final overs... and ths happened a lot of times.. how do you manage that ?

Ricky Ponting said:
:):):)

Thats our Team secret!!! ;) Basically our bowlers just try to get the basics right and we get good result from it!

R.S : So you have one game now and atm Australia is at the second position in the table at the end of Round 1! Any expectations of Round2 to be in the finals?

Ricky Ponting said:
We like to top the table in Round2 :)

Lets see as Rahul said, its not going to be an easy game .. Hope we continue our good form!

R.S : Thanks Ricky and All the best for the remaining two games in Round2!

Ricky Ponting said:
Thanx ravi!:cool:

R.S : So thats all from the presentation ceremony!Summarizing once again, Australia win this match comfortable by 7 wickets with nearly 13 overs to spare!


Also, The DLFCUP table at the moment looks like,

DLF Cup (Team Positions at the end of Round1 )

STREET TALK

!x!culli!x! said:
* This should be a good match, especially after Tendulkar's last match.
* straight drive of Tendulker's is magical
* Losing Sachin is a huge blow but nonetheless 'The Wall' is in and I predict him to make a 50/high 80s
* shame India lost Yuvi after a good start but as I said Dravid is proving that he can score in any conditions.
* Great batting by India from the position they were in, if Dravid can concentrate on his side's fielding now, they will have a great chance!
* Ponting looking strong, the bowling change should have been made much earlier as now I think it will be hard to stop Ponting.
* Aussies will win this with overs to spare, if Martyns carrys on his destrutive innings and Ponting keeps his head, Aussies will win quite easily.
Afridi no 1 said:
* It must be a very tough match
* Nice start by India... Dravid is a solid player.... he is acitve in all conditions...
* great batting by Dravid.. he has played a captains innings.... now India should atleat make 250 ...
* Australia has a good run rate.... if ponting stays on the pitch for 10 more overs then it will be trouble for India... anyway Gillchrist's wicket was a big blow!.
* Australia is batting really well... If ponting scores a century then Victory for them is assured...

gamerkid22 said:
* tough match ....Aussies are the favourites .... India might sneak with a famous win ...who knows....
* good start for Indian openers ..... Thats the Diwali Dhamaka
* Indian lower order always fails in crucial matches .....Greg do something
* nice start for AUS ....and nice catch by Agarkar .....good news for India is that Pathan is in the wickets column .....Greg will be happy about that
* i get a feeling that Agarkar will be the hero of this match
* Ponting will score a century i think but Dravid should bring Agarkar back
* Ponting the hero but what were indian bowlers and fielders doing

Kuttakumar said:
* An evenly matched encounter awaits.
* The openers gave India the start they wanted.Now Dravid and Ganguly must play till the 41st over to give India a chance of posting a decent score.
* Dravid needs to stick in there till the end.

Kshitiz_Indian said:
* very good start from the indians
* India are very very very crap

Karachi Xpress said:
* Good start by the Indians
* Great win by Australia and great batting performance by Ponting and Martyn!

Shravi said:
* As long as Dravid is at the crease there are no worries.
* The Wall is at the wicket, and when The Wall is at the wicket, you know he's going to stick around for a while. India have quite a good run rate as well. Keep up the great work Suren!
* Hopefully the Indian bowlers can put up a good show
* India need a few more wickets to stay in this match.
* I see Australia winning this match as a partnership is developing.
* I hate you Australia! You win everything! Nevertheless, great batting by Ponting and Martyn which lead them to victory when they were in a tricky situation.

Simbazz said:
* apperently my favorite Ganguly was dismissed playing a bit of a stupid shot

Pinchi said:
* disappointing losses of gangers and yuraj but good knock so far for Dravid
* haha typicle India
* i think that you need to get Ponting and Hussey? out also Ponting should've really taken Jaques head off
Left_Hander said:
* I'd hate to say it but India imo are ahead atm.
* C'mon Aussies!
* Great take by Gilchrist.
* This target is reachable for Australia. They have to get there eye in before they start to play any rash shots (I sound like Jim Maxwell )
* If Austalia don't lose wickets at regular intervals then they will win.
* Well done Australia.
* Ponting and Martyn played well.
* Great century by Ponting

Bilal said:
* well it is evenly poised now...if aussies get some quick wickets they will be on top but if india only lose a wicket or two till the 45th over and dravid is still there than they will be on top...intresting match...unlike Pakistans...
* well...that was a total collapse in the end by india but still managed to get a decent total and if they can contorl their line and length, they can probably win this...
* well aussies started strongly but a stupid shot which was not needed at that time got gilly out...still india have a chance of winning this but aussies are going absolutley beserk right now...
* great win for the aussies and they deserved it...Ponting again a great knock with Martyn by his side...comfortable enough...

GrayNicolls said:
* Disappointing for India to collapse.
* Haha! Nice catch from Agarkar!
* India better hope that Ponting and Hussey don't form a partnership, or this match could be over very shortly.
* Ponting are Martyn are building a dangerous partnership. India need to get a couple of wickets sharpish.
* Aww shame. India gave it away with the misfields, but Ponting played a magnificent innings.
* India are in big trouble, they need to start winning, quick.
Cricketman93 said:
* No support for pathan. Dismal.
* Whew, gilly gone. NOw for the next 9..

Brett_Lee said:
* Wow, Indian lower order was just demoralised. They just got out and out. Symonds and Bracken bowled well to clean it all up. A bit dissapointed brett lee didnt get any!
* That was a great wicket there by Pathan especially the catch.
* This should be a great clash now that Gilly is gone!
* Great partnership there by Marto and Punter.
* the 2 great knocks are what gave the AUssies the win.
* Especially ponting he played extremely well
evertonfan said:
* Cracking catch from Gilly; He'll be as good as GoJo in no time.
* Ponting is brilliant at seizing the initiative and once again he does it here. A few more overs of Ponting could see India finished in this match quickly.

Duff said:
* an excellent catch to depart Gilchrist
* Ponting will buy some contraceptive pills for his mother ( view on behalf of gamerkid :p )

plympilgrim said:
* nice catch from ajarker and jaques is goin well, i think aus should win this.
* aussies should win this baring a colapse. If ponting gets out, and every one else tries playing destructive it will be India's for the taking.

Treva said:
*Great batting for Ponting but a crucial wicket of Jacques there for Agakar.
* Hussey needs to play a massive innings and keep with Ponting
* fantastic stuff by the Aussies.
* Great knock by Ponting and good batting by martyn.

PhilD123 said:
* Ponting could take the Aussies home now, however, you never know if India get 2 quick wickets. India have to make sure Australia dont carry on at this run rate.
* India in real trouble now. Spin is not working so I feel India have to go with their pacemen and try and get ponting before he gets to his 100.

Gaurav said:
* Really good match

Thanx for all the views.... We always try our level best to entertain you viewers... Your Views are most important and more valuable to us!!!

Fourth Match, DLF Cup --- Australia Vs WestIndies

Welcome to the Fourth match of this DLF cup between WestIndies and Australia and the good news is that for last two days, sun shine is good and hence more crowd resulting today.... & we will straight away join the pitch and Weather Report!



Weather report

weatherok9.jpg


Well the Weather here is absolutely perfect with bright sunshine and we are expecting full day's play without any doubts! Also the atmosphere here is great though noisy but looks like a perfect one to play cricket! Sunshine is the good news for all Cricket Fans here! :)


Pitch report


pitchreprtmainxz5.jpg


The pitch here is well improved becos of no rains for nearly one week and the pitch looks ideal for good cricket! The ball is likely to get good pace and bounce that most of the Australian players like! At the same nice the ball will come on to the bat nicely! The bowlers like Lee might be more tough to face in this pitch and bowlers will be liking this pitch slightly more than batsman! But the medium pacers have to be careful with the line... Bad line can be easily punished as the ball is likely to come nicely on to the bat!

Also Conditions in the second innings might favour the batsman than the fresh wicket now! So Any team winning the toss will likely be hungry to bowl the opposition out :D


Toss


Australia won the toss and without any hesitation has decided to bowl! This is going to be interesting how windies batsmen are going to handle the Aussie bowlers!


Windies Team


windieslineupcl3.jpg



Australian Team


auslineupqk0.jpg

For both the teams, no changes have been made! Both the teams doesnt want to change the Winning Squad! So the battle is really going to be exciting!


Match to Begin!

readyqj1.jpg


Well, Australian players came out of the dressing room following the umpires and then arrived Windies openers, Gayle and Ramdin! Ponting gives the new ball to McGrath and the field was also set accordingly!

Now everything is set ready and McGrath waiting for the Umpire to say " Start "!

WI : 0/0 ( 0 Overs )

Gayle : 0*(0)
Ramdin : 0* (0)
 
Can't wait for thid one Suren and i'm hoping for a Windies win, but i'm not too sure which way it'll go :)

Keep up the great work :clap
 
Really nice presentation suren,
hope to go through the entire DLF tournament now.
 
Thanx Trev and Waugh! :)
