Barry- yes you would think that india 85/3 16ov

Update from Johannesburg South Afrcia back on top

Yuvraj Singh Out Bowled Him

Barry- ohh yuvraj has his off stump disturbed by kallis. what a ball!!!

yuvwik2.jpg

Alan- yes kallis bowled a good line and lenght delievery and yuvraj could not make up his mind wheather he should play on the front or back foot in the end he was bowled for pace. excellent delievery.

Barry- this wicket puts south afric right back on top and the indians are on pressuer. i bet laxman is wondering why he ran his captain out. lets go back to the studio and see what mark thinks of this. india 90-4 19overs

Mark- well guys this wicket will boost the south africans

Tony- south africa did not panic while ganguly was hitting them all over the park. but the key for the south africans was that they bowled tight to the stumps to laxman, this resulted laxman to get frustrated and he took on a run which wasnt there and he cost india there captain, and for yuvraj he just got beaten by raw pace from kallis

Ravi- yes i agree with tony the south african did not panic and now there in the comfort zone. tis partnership between laxman and dravid is vital if one of them goes then is panic attack for the indians.

Mark- we'll be back after this commercial

Barry-Mostly all of the indian fans have gone quiet now and the south african fans are cheering

Alan- yes the indian fans started to beileve india was going to post a huge target before ganguly got out but 2 quick wickets in 2 overs have not dented there hopes
 
Update from Johannesburg Laxman does it again

barry- the pressure is getting to laxman after he ran out his captain. kallis picthed the ball out side off and laxman tried to hit down leg side and he completley misses.


barry- laxman lofts kallis for 4 to bring the 100 for india after 18.4 overs


barry-look this elegant 4 by dravis kallis overpitches and


Dravid out

Barry- ohh my god your not going to beileve this rahul dravid has been runout and again its all laxmans fault he called dravid for the run but there was no way dravid was going outrun shaun pollocks arm. ganguly jumped up in dismay when he saw laxman runout dravid. dravis was playinbg a good knock he hit 4 beautiful boundaries.

Alan- yes the pressure is getting to laxman he ran out his captain and his most consistent player. laxman is on 44 can he save india? Kaif is the next man in then the indian tail follows

India 117/5 after 22.1 overs. runrate 5.08
 
Update from Johannesburg

INDIA 6 DOWN KAIF IS OUT

Barry- well kaif has just been given out lbw by billy bowden from bowling of nicky boje. boje bowled a superb top spinner which fooled kaif and that was hiitng middle no 2 ways about it. india are now suffering a collapse. india 117/6 after 23 overs.

Alan- yes barry india dont know what has hit them they have lost 4 wickets for the total of 44 runs.

barry- well lets quickly head of to ravi shastri in the crowd and see what they are thinking of this.

Ravi- yes barry i am here with a group indian and south african fans. let me first talk to the indian fans

indfans.jpg

well your side was at good postion 84/2 now they have slumped 117/6

Indian fan- yes i know we were in a good postion untill laxman runout 2 of our key players but however i still remain optimistic india can win. INDIA ZINDABAD.

Ravi- well the indians are optmistic lets see the south africa fans.

sports12.jpg

South African fan- yes weve reduced india to 117/6 excellent display by our bowlers at one stage i thought india were running away nicely when they 84/2 but now weve hit them hard and hopefully we can bowl them out under 160-170

Ravi- ok let me hand you over back to our commentators after this quick break.
 
Sad to see India performing badly..

Interesting story thread this!!! Good coverage!!! Trying changing patches. Ravi's ODI patch looks really unrealistic. I suggest you try Tutsi's Beta-5 in normal level. Or try CGPv3 Beta to be released in the next few days on Hard mode!

Nice idea to have the commentators talk to the fans in the ground. You guyz are so good in coming up with new ideas!!!
 
India all out after 32 Overs

India 165 all out after 32ovs

Barry- well India Slumped from 84/2 all the way to 165all out. the last 8 wickets went for 81 runs!!!. here is a look at the last 4 wickets that happened

Alan- great efforts by the south africans to reduce a world class tream to 165 all out
Laxman played well for his half century but was out straight away after that, he cost his team two vital wickets.

Pathan spooned one straight to silly point


Z khan done exactly the same thing and was out 1st ball

Boje was on a hatrick but balaji hit the hatrick ball for 4

Kumble and Balaji showed resistance for the final wicket but kumble was then out to boje


Here are the bowling and Batting cards



Pick of the bowlers were boje and pollock, boje took 4 wickets in the end and proved the pitch had something for spinners. pollock removed both openers tendulkar and sehwag to leave the indians at 5/2 after 3 overs

Barry-coming up during the break is the indian batting analysis from Mark Nicholas in the studio
