------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Day 2- Afternoon Session
1:55 pm: Here comes the players from both sides, as we start the Afternoon Session. The Indians are batting slowly but to great success, as they grind out the Aussie bowlers.Rahulkhush is on strike with 39 (56) to his name, with his partner rahuldravidfan on 143 (247).Looks like BKB1991 and 20/20 PRO will start proceedings.
2:02 pm: 20/20 PRO to rahuldravidfan...its well played through the off-side for four, and thats 150 for rahuldravidfan! His team-mates are ecstatic and cheering from the pavillion, as he raises his bat to acknowledge the crowd, this is turning out to be a gem of an innings!
2:03 pm: BKB1991 to rahuldravidfan..its short and he goes on the back-foot and majestically drives it through the covers for four!
2:18 pm: BKB1991 to rahuldravidfan...and thats four again! Is there any possible way to stop this man? That brings him to 165*, this is unbelievable!
2:26 pm: 20/20 PRO to rahulkhush....thats full and straight and smashed down the ground for four! That brings up his half-century, well played! Very steadied innings with his 50 coming off 75 balls.
2:27 pm: 20/20 PRO to rahulkhush, its short and down leg, he goes for the pull and gets a top edge......Holdenator catches it! 20/20 PRO gets the breakthrough, looks like he`s not just a pro in 20/20 cricket eh!? In comes the tailenders, as Mihir Doshi comes out to bat. India might think of declaring soon here.
IND 423-6
rahulkhush c holdenator b 20/20 PRO 55(78)
2:31 pm: Thats the end of 20/20 PRO`s wonderful spell, and looks like Biggy will replace him. His final figures are 32 overs for 3-98, definitely the pick of the bowlers.
2:50 pm: Thats the end of BKB1991`s spell, and the off-spinner Hedger_14 will replace him. His final figures are 32 overs for 2-86. And a batting update, rahuldravidfan is on 189*, and Mihir Doshi is on 9*. The score is 453-6.
2:53 pm: Hedger to rahuldravidfan....its a full toss and he slogs it.....WATCH OUT! ITS COMING AT US!! ████! Phew, just missed us there...ehehe....eheehe.......oh yeah, that brings him to 195*.....
3:04 pm: Biggy to rahuldravidfan whose on 199*.... its smashed down the ground for FOUR! THATS HIS DOUBLE CENTURY! WHAT AN INNINGS BY THE 35-year old! Take a bow! He`s ecstatic and hugs his partner as he raises hit bat, i cant believe i`m witnessing this! What a display!
3:16 pm: Thats the end of Biggys spell, not much luck for him at all, as he sheepishly walks back to his fielding position, looks like mattfb will replace him. His figures stand at 39 overs for 0-130.
3:53 pm: mattfb to rahuldravidfan..he goes for the sweep and its in the air....skrillex_x drops it! Dear oh dear...you dont get much chances with this bloke, and when you get em, you gotta take em! Rahuldravidfan holds back his laugh as mattfb looks on dissapointingly.
4:00 pm: Thats the end of the session, with India on 6-542. Not sure why they arent declaring but they are in a very commanding position!
