Gloustershire got off to a good start...they were playing zaheer and agarkar quite well.....harbhajan got in to bowl for the first time on this tour....a wicket in his first over!!

next ball harbhajan gets another 1.....gr8 catch at silly point...2 in 2 balls...suddenly the good start for glouster doesnt look so good now!!

banger gets a wicket...trying to play an outswinger to square leg...gets an edge...straight to short extra cover

edged and parthiv patel takes a safe catch...windows goes for just 4

 

[Rahul]

[Rahul]

lunch on day 3....good partnership biulding

bowling card

straight after lunch rain pours down on the ground!!

4 hrs have been lost!!

the rain break worked to india's advantage....a wicket falls!!kartik strikes

alleyne gone first ball.....kartik is on a hat trick

and he gets it......muraili kartik gets a hat trick!! brilliant bowling

glouster batsmen dont seem to have a clue how to play spin

harbhajan gets the last wicket!! bowled out for 185...india win by an innings again!!

bhaji celebrates the win

bowling card! kartik bowled beutifully!! and so did harbhajan!!

 

[squiz]

Bowling with spin bowlers really ruins the game doesn't it!

 

[Rahul]

India vs Sussex .....autoplayed this one!! here is the score card

inidan 1st innings

sussex innings

bowling card

indian second innings .....match ended in a draw!!

 

[Rahul]

yup squiz...getting wickets with spinners is quite easy....but tutsi has said he's gonna improve it in his next patch......but still the cpu is is slow against the spinners....only scores once the confidence is almost full!!


Next Maatch : India vs Middlesex One Day Match

very important match for india coz their internations start with the odi's and so these will be good practice!!

i have to improve my batting coz i score at a slow pace in odi's

normal wicket...bright sunny conditions
middlesex win the toss and elect to bat first

middlesex XI

indian Xi .....selection probs for india for the odi's...which bowlers to play with....guess i'll have to rotate them in the odi's!!

good shot from weekes

brilliant stright drive...good start for middlesex

10 overs bowled...middlesex goin well at over 5 an over!!

50 for weekes

 

[Rahul]

weekes goes right after getting his 50.....kumble strikes..india finally have a wicket

weekes dragged it on to his stumps!

strauss gone...caught at backward point!!

by the way is it possible to set which fielder fields where in custom fields?? coz when i do this it keeps changing after every over!!

100 is up

shah goes..caught at short extra cover...kumble strikes again!!

yuvraj singh strikes...middlesex have messed up after a gr8 start their openers had given them!!

sehwag gets hutton

To fix this is easy - use the config editor and edit the vertical values for batpad(spin) file. Increase the values to make the ball's trajectory lower off the bat

Great match reports by the way

 

[Rahul]

kumble gets his 3rd

final scorecard...middlsex bowled out for 198....dissapointing after having had such a good start!! they oly have themselves to blame with the poor shot selection!!

bowling card...kumble got 3...but nehra was the most impressive...didnt give anything away and he got 3 as well!!
but pathan and balaji were not at their best in this match!!

spider for weekes...the top scorer for middlesex

middlesex innings worm

manhatten!

thanx zim!! i'm gonna try and make the stories more interesting...inspired by how vaughan is presenting his!!

 

[Rahul]

oops...the page has turned out to be 2 long...i shud post less pics in 1 post i think!!

 

[Rahul]

indian reply....

sehwag out early...trying to smash 1 over mid on but didnt get it over him

he's gone for 14

india off to a solid start 4.6 runs per over after 10 overs....well above the required rate!

 

[Rahul]

my first six with any of the patches..finally!!!

tendulkar smashed it away on the leg side

another view....i tried saving the game and with full confidence i tried to smash a few from sachin and laxman....but they never seem to connect...any 1 knows which is the best place to hit the six???
