need to improve the hawk eye man.
Dhoni would get 100+ in the innings.

 

[Gaurav_7]

Keep trying mate, you will eventually get it right. Happy to see this back after a lay off.

The hawk eye isn't that bad, tbh mate. It's a bloody hard thing to get right, I know gamerkid used to spend hours getting his right. I won't even attempt it as I don't have the time, so kudo's to to for trying

In regards to the match. (You might want to get some new stumps, not the generic EA ones ) Good job by Swanneh to get the Little Master so early on in the day, that was a big breakthrough for England. These two have put on a good partnership, so need to strike after lunch. Good all round job mate, keep it up

I'll go for A

 

[treva]

India are in an excellent position and should get well pover 400 here. They'll be disappointed if they don't, and it could give England the confidence they need to make a big total in reply.

I'm going to go for C, out on 93. Keep it up Aditya, brilliant work.

 

[Biggy]

I guess D, 100+!

 

[Harishan]

Can't look past D. 100+

Quality update, Adi. Just the odd grammatical error but other than that you've definitely improved your spelling/grammar along with your presentation since the last time I read one of your stories. KIU!

So, the 2nd session of day 3 started after lunch. 2 umpires with England team and 2 Indian batsmen made their way to the middle to start the play after lunch. Strauss was desperate for a wicket. Harbhajan was just not getting out before lunch and it was getting frustrating for the England team. They knew that just one mistake from Harbhajan can cost him his wicket. Strauss, Pietersen and Collingwood had a short chat before the play started to maybe decide whom should be the 2 bowlers bowling after lunch. Surprisingly, Collingwood and Pietersen themselves decided to bowl. Strauss had no other option except to say yes because none of his other bowlers were taking wickets.


Dhoni and Harbhajan had a small chat as well. The chat could well be about how they should play after tea. As soon as they completed their chat! Umpires decided to start the play after tea. Collingwood was the bowler bowling?

England back in the match, Indian team all out for 296!!!

Harbhajan was having trouble playing Collingwood. Collingwood was swinging the ball both ways which was not allowing Harbhajan to free his arms for big shorts. Harbhajan tried to take singles but the fielding was just perfect to disallow singles. Harbhajan was not able to stay for a while at the pitch after lunch as he was out for 42. Collingwood was bowling; Collingwood bowled a full length delivery. There was a little gap between gully and the point fielder. Harbhajan tried to smash the ball through the fielder but ended up in smashing the ball straight to gully fielder, Ravi Bopara. Harbhajan was very disappointed because a partnership was building but he lost his wicket.

After Harbhajan got out Dhoni decided to be attacking. He knew that now Indian team can be any time all out so it?s better he be a bit attacking and smash some crucial runs for India. Zaheer smashed his very first bowl for boundary but was not able to stay at the pitch for long time as he got out for 4. Ishant Sharma though did well to stay at the pitch for a short time. In this crucial time, Dhoni got chance to play some attacking shots and inch closer to his century. He was on 91 and Collingwood was bowling. Collingwood tried to bowl a full length delivery on off side but Dhoni was on front foot and converted the ball into a full toss and smashed it on off side and it was a six. He went to 97. Collingwood bowled the same sort of delivery again, but this time Dhoni was on front foot but again smashed the ball on straight and reached to his well made century. :happy

Dhoni raises his bat after reaching to his century​

Dhoni was not able to stay at the pitch for long time after his century as he got out stumped for 104. Pietersen was bowling; Dhoni continues his strategy of being attacking but misjudged the ball and got out stumped. Ojha was not able to stay the pitch for long time either and India got all out for 396. So, that means India get lead of 21 runs. It would be interesting to see how England plays in their 2nd innings.

 

[Biggy]

I guess D, 100+!

So what do I win? Also, on that scorecard it shows Kohli got 104, and Dhoni got 8.

 

[Meet]

Another good piece of writing.KIU:hpraise
I won

 

[sachin_rocks]

even after upgrading your graphic card why are you using c05?

 

[Aussie Team]

Worry! Dhoni made a century. You made him to score 8 runs. :P

 

[Aditya]

even after upgrading your graphic card why are you using c05?

I have completed half of the match and I guess there is no way to edit matches in AC09? That's why I will be using it from 4th test onwards.

@Biggy Thanks for pointing out the mistake Biggy. I have corrected it now. Also, I will be sending you vCash soon.
