[ashu2411]

Harbhajan finally got his first wicket as he get rids of dangerous looking Hogg. Hogg tried to hit Harbhajan over his head for six runs but just manged to chip the ball in air towards long-off where Little Master Sachin Tendulkar took a brilliant diving catch to finish Hogg's short but good inning.

I don't see Australia winning this one now. Great bowling by India! Come on India!!!

 

[sachinisgod2]

India should win now although Hussey is still dangerous for India.

 

[ashu2411]

Another good short partnership between Hussey and Lee has took the match towards a very close finish. Australia require 29 off 3 overs with 2 wickets remaining. Anything can happen now in this match as Zaheer Khan has got the ball.

 

[ashu2411]

Zaheer gets Hussey caught at covers and the match moved into last over with Australia needing 13 runs of 6 balls with only one wicket in hand. Dravid has given ball to Sachin Tendulkar and Lee is on strike.

13 of last over with one wicket left is impossible. Lets see how Sachin bowls.

Ball 1

So here comes Sachin with the last over of the match with Australia needing 13 runs with one wicket in hand and Lee is on strike.

Sachin bowled a leg spiner on the leg stump which spun towards off stump and Lee just on-drived it straight to pick up a single before Dravid returned it back to Sachin.

 

[Dhoni]

Come on Sachin!!!!!!

 

[ashu2411]

Ball 2

Now Mcgrath on the strike with Australia needing 12 off 5 balls.

This time Sachin bowled an off spin outside off stump which came towards the middle stump for Mcgrath and hit his pads. All Indian feilders went for a huge appeal but umpire rejected and the batsmen picked up a single in the mean time.

 

[hassan17]

great build up..........hey ashu u saw how they ran of the field when javed hit the six that was funny

 

[ashu2411]

Ball 3

Sachin now bowls to Lee as Australia needs 11 runs to win from 4 deliveries with the last pair on crease.

This time Sachin bowled a straight one on middle stump and Lee charged against it and smashed it over mid-wicket and beautifully picked up the gap for a very crucial boundary. So Australia got a very crucial boundary and Sachin was really furious on himself for that poor delivery.

 

[ashu2411]

Now Australia needs 7 runs of last three balls and Lee is on strike Not Out 23. So here comes Sachin with the fourth ball of the over. All first three deliveries have been different so far, the first on e was leg spin then off spin and then a stright one. it will be interesting to see his next delivery.
