This might just be encouraging, playing a game in Sharjah, the pitch is a Dust bowl. The first 15 overs were really thrilling, 10 runs off the first over off Srinath by Anwar. In the same over he was bowled by Srinath B) . Shahid Afridi run out in the 3rd over while Srinath went for heaps of runs. Zaheer bowled bloody well in trying conditions conceding only 8 runs off the first 3. But then he gave away quite a few runs too. Pakistan were 86 for 2 when I brought in spin at both ends (Harbhajan and Kumble). Persisted with slip and Tafeeq caught by Tendulkar in the slips. 3 tight overs by both the spinners and Inzamam bowled by Harbhajan off a wrong un. This was the best ever wicket I have taken really while under pressure. Pakistan isnt giving up yet, Yusuf blasted couple of boundries over the infield convincing me to get a touch defensive. Go Pakistan go.
Also the cut shot over the gully fetched 3 fours in a row against Zaheer, we probably will need to see if this occurance can be cut down a bit or have a third man. This problem is if you have a third man you will need to give up the Cover Sweeper and the Deep fine leg. This is asking for trouble given every now and then the CPU targets these areas. You will probably need to suggest something on this one, you are a champion with the stroke files.
Have a look below it is interesting.
