India In England

India Vs England

Natwest Series 2010
First Match : India Vs England
India,First Innings
Live From Cardiff.

It was a horrible start for India. Gambhir got out in the first over of India's second innings and even Dravid followed his in the very next over......England team was overjoyed after getting India's two quick wickets....Then came Little Master,Sachin Tendulkar........

After Sachin came at the crease everyone wondered that now India are in deep deep pressure and Sehwag will stop his attacking batting and will play slowly. But Sehwag had different plans in his mind he didn't changed his batting at all......Sachin Tendulkar on other hand was taking singles as well as he was making sure he stays at middle for long time with Sehwga. Whenever he felt Sehwag is loosing his concentration he was having a short chats with him. Slowly and Slowly they were building a solid partnership.... Soon Sehwag reached his quick but well made fifty.....

After Sehwag reached his fifty Sachin indicated him to stay at the crease and don't loose passions. After Sehwag reached his fifty Sachin started taking singles and doubles and improved the run-rate of the team.....Soon Sachin reached his fifty.......

After reaching his fifty,Sachin there was not much time left before close of days play....So he allowed Sehwag to take most of the strike and Sehwag started playing few big strokes and after sometime umpires said 'Common guys its end of day's play. Indians were looking happy with the days performance after all Sehwag and Sachin were playing at the crease and it itself is a big thing for Indian fans......

Superb batting by Viru and Sachin. As expected!
They both simply get going when they are in prime form.

Also, I loved the two pics, they are quiet similar.

Indians were looking happy with the days performance after all Sehwag and Sachin were playing at the crease and it itself is a big thing for Indian fans......

Most of the people though that Sehwag would start slowly when the 3rd day of the test match will start but Sehwag didn't bothered listening to them and from the ball one started smashing the bowlers all around the park.....

Andrew Strauss was shocked to see this kind of strategy from Indian batsmen and decided to change bowling and give bowl to Swann. Which didn't work Sehwag started taking singles when Swann came to the attack and started giving Sachin most of the strike but then he decided its time to play few big strokes and get as much runs in the pocket as he can...... Pressure started building on England and Strauss started changing bowling from both the ends but it was not working. Soon Sehwag got to his fabulous hundred and the crowd had no other option rather then clapping for Sehwag for his hundred. Strauss brought Swann again to the attack and all thought that Swann again. :doh But Swann got rid of Sehwag on his first ball of his over. Sehwag was on front foot and tried to push the ball for single but eventually missed it and bowl managed to hit the stumps. Next batsmen was Laxman and he started in his typical way by taking singles and doubles...... Sachin Tendulkar who was taking singles suddenly was looking out of touch and Swann took advantage of it and got his wicket. I guess Sachin took too many singles and he was in frame of mind of just taking singles and not taking risk and got confused and hence loosed his wicket. There were some questions raised by the commentators about the LBW decision but at the end all agreed that it was out.

Next batsmen was Indian captain,MS Dhoni. He took many singles and allowed Laxman to play calmly...... Dhoni knew that he is a main wicket and India cannot expect much from Yuvraj because his batting is not much suitable for test matches.... Dhoni took singles,doubles and triples too.... Soon he got really close to his century but then umpires said common guys its time for 'lunch'. Dhoni was looking happy with the proceedings so far and knew that they can put up good score of the board but for that Dhoni needs to stay there.

IND : 258/4(64 Overs )[R/o=4.03]
V.V. Laxman : 23*(54)
MS Dhoni: 44*(60)

Whats [R/o=4.03]???:confused:

It's Runs Per Over

Well on presentation side, it's massively improved & it looks great at the moment. But on the writing side, I would suggest some more things,

a) Use the third person context in writings & not to mix up the third & first person's speech.

eg : " I guess Sachin took too many singles " --> This type of first person speech should be there only if you are one of the actors there in the context, like in career stories.

b) Cross check the post for grammatical usage. But I can see it improving though. Good luck.
