Shocking collapse by the World XI
Shane Warne has picked up 5 wickets for just 17 runs off his last 6 overs. This has been a shocking collapse by the World XI with Shane Warne running through the World XI middle order and lower order. Although there was couple of magic balls bowled by Warnie, the standard of the pitch has helped him run through the inning. In fact the umpires after the over by Harvey have conferred with Ponting citing dangerous pitch to call off the game at the home of cricket "The Lords". There is panicky all around and the grounds men seem to have taken cover under their respective houses already.
Amidst all these chaos there are two characters out there not complaining and are looking forward to carrying on playing. One in the form of Shane Warne who has just finished his absolute magical spell of 10-1-25-6 and the other is Rahul Dravid who has continued to show why he is the most dependable in the world at this moment of time. Dravid has still been able to hit 4 fours out of the 20 runs off 29 balls he has faced. In one over he hit two beautifully struck boundaries one each on both sides of the wicket. McGrath has been seen complaining vociferously to the umpires as well as his captain about the nature of the pitch. He is particularly not convinced he can be taken to the cleaners by Shoaib Akthar on any kind of pitch unless it isn?t a cricket pitch at all
Quite obviously Shoaib seems to also favor the game goes ahead. 
P.S : Don't know S, it is simply not worth playing on this pitch as there is hardly any fun out of it I think. The ball doesn't bounce at all and rolls on the ground even if I pitch on a good length. Many times even when bowled full it has rolled on the pitch and has been called no balls. I will continue and finish this game off anyway but if you want a change in plan I more than welcome it. Otherwise we can complete this game, move on and take an oath never to play on a rubbish pitch like this one.
