Well done mate, good read.
India land themselves in trouble AGAIN!
India 42/3 - 6 overs
S Tendulkar 24 (16)
M Kaif 7* (5)
India have landed themselves into trouble yet again. They started off well scoring 15 for no loss off the first two overs. But a foolish call by Sehwag brought about his downfall. Tendulkar did not run and Sehwag had to gain back his crease which he could not as Zoysa whipped off the bails.
Next to go was Dhoni though here it was not his fault. It was wonderful bowling from Vaas. Vaas bowled a short delivery that moved away from the seam. Dhoni tried to defend it on the backfoot but the ball kissed the edge and Jayasuriya at slips took a brilliant diving catch to dismiss Dhoni
Just when one thought Tendulkar would stand up and play a long innings to guide the team to a win, he played a rank bad shot.Vaas bowled a ball on the leg stump. Tendulkar tried to flick the ball but wasnt exactly in the right line to play that shot and the ball missed the bat and crashed into the stumps.
Kaif and Dravid fighting it out in the middle now. These two need to make sure they do not break their partnership at least for another 30 overs or so if India are to surely win this game and salvage some pride for themselves affter a poor series!
Thanks mate. Hope it remains as much interesting to read for you all!

India script a fightback!
India fightback - 90/3 after 15 overs
M Kaif 35* (36)
R Dravid 23* (27)
C Vaas 2/53 (8)
The Indian dependable of Rahul Dravid and his successor in playing style, Mohammed Kaif script a good comeback for India stitching together a 58 run unbeaten partnership and also scoring at a very brisk rate at 6 runs per over in the first 15 overs. Both are not bogged down by the fall of the first three wickets and have put their heads down and are trying to bring India back into the winning equation. Kaif in particular, was delightful to watch, coming down the wicket and spanking those few boundaries which sped like a rocket to the fence.
Dravid on the other hand, has been subdued as usual, picking up his singles and two's and has given Kaif the highest support. They have decided that Kaif will attack and score quicker than Dravid. If they both can stay together for 15 more overs, Sri Lanka would be in trouble!
Are you Sri Lankan?? why do you laugh at it? If you're Sri Lankan, dont get ur hopes too high. India are surely a team which will fightback at anytime.
This patch has been the toughest for me for batting. I have to use the advance down the wicket shots to score some runs (if I try to advance down the wicket and loft it, it invariably goes to the fielder! Tutsi has perfected the gameplay of this game with his patch!)

Good to see a bright start from kaif sai hope he does well
India need 117 runs off 150 balls!
India require 117 runs off 150 balls - 25 over UDPATE
M Kaif 60*
Yuvraj Singh 12*
R Dravid 30
India are now touched the 25 over mark and are well ahead of their required run rate. Though they have lost 4 wickets, they look good and are moving ahead. But Jayasuriya has been troubling them all throughout his 10 over spell. But luckily for India, the medium pacer at the other end relieves all the pressure exerted by Jayasuriya on the Indians.
Dravid was out caught at deep cover when he came down the wicket in desperation to score some runs. Jayasuriya at deep cover caught the ball and Dravid was out for 30. Yuvraj now is giving Kaif good company. India still have Dinesh Mongia and Ajit Agarkar to come in.
thanks buddy!!!

India moving towards a consolation victory!
M Kaif 78* (82)
Yuvraj Singh 22* (21)
A special innings being played here by Mohammed Kaif as India are right now started to cruise towards victory! They need 98 runs off 126 balls (21 overs) and with Mongia and Agarkar still to come in, its troublesome times at last for Sri Lanka this series!
Yes buddy. I suddenly got that idea because we have many English fans here in this forum and so, more will be attracted towards my thread. And since I am not a very great player, my matches will be close and also at many occasions, the CPU holds an advantage over me.
