18th Match: India V Australia: Mohali, India

[chuck]

HaHaHa Indian fans should actually fear me rather than Aussies...I woke up, turned the T.V. on, score read 46-0 in 9.3 overs; one ball later Zakhmi Kohni gone and now ever ince in last 5.5 overs they have only scored 11 runs

Muhaha Muhaha Muhaha

Monsee bhai .. u posted this message and 10 runs in next 4 balls

 

[jackal786]

What kind of mental cases will run like that lol

 

[Sean]

Now a missed chance at a run out. He should of been out!

 

[jackal786]

Sehwag scoring some runs in one dayers is a miracle these days.

 

[chuck]

Mongia is looking totally at sea.

 

[CrickFan]

What kind of mental cases will run like that lol

Looks like you haven't seen Inzy , Yousuf and Razaak

 

[Sean]

Who is Zakhmi Kohni?
Don't you mean Sachin Tendulkar?

 

[Monsee]

Monsee bhai .. u posted this message and 10 runs in next 4 balls

That's part of my bigger plan too...I can't tell U the details, otherwise I have to then kill ya

 

[12thMan]

Who is Zakhmi Kohni?

means "injured/wounded elbow"

 

[Amjid Javed]

Lovely back foot drive for 4 by mongia.

 

[Amjid Javed]

good reply from bracken as he beats mongia with good outswinger.

 

[Amjid Javed]

India 75/1 (17)

 

[UJ]

Time to bring Lee back

 

[CrickFan]

India's day surely ..run out missed - sehwag was nowhere near

 

[OZGOD]

Geez Watson's hopeless. Missed a pointblank runout of Sehwag.

 

[MediumPacer]

I think these two don't trust each other. Another runout missed.

 

[jackal786]

Another brainless running from Sehwag!!

 

[Sean]

Argh! F*** He Missed The Bloody Stumps!
Im Going To Shoot This Computer Screen!

 

[OZGOD]

Watson = can't bat, can't bowl, can't hit the side of a barn. Almost as bad as Katich.

 

[jackal786]

Is this run out miss worse than Kamran Akmals run out miss? Very tough race there!

 

[Sean]

Argh! We need a change of pace.
Put Roy or Pup on.

 

[OZGOD]

Watson should shut his mouth till he learns how to aim properly. Wild swing from Viru.

 

[CrickFan]

Watson on a roll ..bowling some great deliveries

 

[MediumPacer]

Its good that Tendulkar is out, we have some chance of winning now.

 

[Sean]

Watson bowlin well.
But Sehwag should already have been out 3 times now!

 

[jackal786]

Sehwag has mentally affected the ozzie bowlers with those shots. He is making the bowler bowl on to his pads. Sehwag should use it instead of waste it.

 

[chuck]

Sehwag's missed runout could be crucial. He is the only batsman looking comfortable so far.

 

[Sean]

THAT WAS PLUMB!
ARGH!
This is really annoying me!

 

[jackal786]

THAT WAS PLUMB!
ARGH!
This is really annoying me!

Thats not plumb ! Ball had natural angle. That will create doubt obviously. It was pitched slightly outside legstump.

 

[chuck]

it was a marginal one.

 

[OZGOD]

Well-played 50 from Sehwag. He's had a couple of lives, but he's made the most of his opportunities.

 

[OZGOD]

Sehwag starting to find the gaps easily now.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Lovely clip off his legs for 4 by Mongia.

india starting to motor.

 

[chuck]

Mongia begins to find his touch. Another 4.

 

[jackal786]

Sehwag playing till 50th over is more like Ramesh powar winning mister world contest. If he does manage it I won't give any hope to Ozzies.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Gone, superb reply

ball angling acorss mongia pokes at it and hussey takes it at 1st slip.

 

[chuck]

spoke too early for Mongia .. OUT

 

[OZGOD]

Mongia gone, edged to Hussey in the slips.

 

[Amjid Javed]

India 89/2

Mongia gone for 18, partnership was worth 43.

 

[jackal786]

Watson struck.

 

[OZGOD]

Sehwag playing till 50th over is more like Ramesh powar winning mister world contest. If he does manage it I won't give any hope to Ozzies.

We've got our own Sehwag though - and just as inconsistent - at the top of the order. But yes, it will be tough.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Dravid new man in at number 4

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

poor shot by mongia

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

no feet movement at all by mongia

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

well bowled by watson and nicely played by dravid

 

[jackal786]

That was an awful technique from Mongia.

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

today could be shawag s day

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

brett is back hope shewag creams him

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

good shot by shewag but well fieled for 1

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

90 for 2 in 20.1 overs

 

[jackal786]

That was a beauty from Lee. More like Mcgrath bowling at 141 kph

 

[jackal786]

Gorgeous on drive from Dravid. bad fielding by Mcgrath

 

[jackal786]

There is some Rhino moving behind the screen that disturbs Dravids conecntration!

 

[chuck]

Match nicely balanced. Good start by India.

 

[OZGOD]

India going along well at the moment. They're well placed to make a big assault in the last 10 overs, particularly if Sehwag is still there. I'm predicting we'll have to chase a score just around 300 or thereabouts.

 

[jackal786]

Lee is generating some serious pace.

 

[jackal786]

Oh my 96 victories in 128 matches for Ponting? What a record that must be

 

[Long_Live_Pakistan]

Lee is generating some serious pace.

ya..even the pitch tactics cant prevent him ..he is lethal...no match for pace......

by they way...congrats to tendi for another ton in crunch match....he keeps on scoring runs in big matches.....

 

[Long_Live_Pakistan]

I m getting a feeling that Harbhajan will be lethal today....dont know why

 

[jackal786]

ya..even the pitch tactics cant prevent him ..he is lethal...no match for pace......

by they way...congrats to tendi for another ton in crunch match....he keeps on scoring runs in big matches.....

Mcgrath bowled well. Watson is bowling well. Others bowled kept on feeding width to sehwag.

 

[jackal786]

Bob willis is giving some hitherto unknown info like 50 overs a side. 10 overs per bowler. 3 power plays.

 

[jackal786]

Dravid on song against Lee with 2 great boundaries.

 

[Long_Live_Pakistan]

Bob willis is giving some hitherto unknown info like 50 overs a side. 10 overs per bowler. 3 power plays.

hahhahhaha...
i am sure that information was not outdated....
he probably forgot to take his morning pills for mania cure this AM.

 

[OZGOD]

The only positive so far for us is that we've kept the run rate manageable. But geez all those wickets in hand that India have are a problem.

 

[Amjid Javed]

lovely glide shot for 4 by sehwag.

India 121/2 (26)

 

[jackal786]

The only positive so far for us is that we've kept the run rate manageable. But geez all those wickets in hand that India have are a problem.

If i were Oz fan i won't be worried too much about it. Life of Rest of the line up is as good as one ball!

 

[jackal786]

some good talent in the crowd!

tasty!

Real talent

 

[CrickFan]

Dhoni and Irfan can smash in the end and take the score to 300 ..Great platform for India ..The big guns of India are firing when it matters .. Time for Mr."Tricky Things" to take note and stop watching all those bollywood movies

 

[Hash]

What happened to the greatest batsman/man ever in the history of cricket/mankind?

Did he once again buckle in a do or die game? Or is he padded up in the dressing room in a state of excitment and determination waiting for another wicket to fall so he can bat?

 

[Amjid Javed]

India 124/2 (27.1)

 

[Amjid Javed]

Dravid has played himself in nicely and has got to 20 almost unoticed.

 

[INZItheman]

I reckon mcgrath or bracken should come back for a over or two to get a wicket. That will change the whole scenario.

 

[chuck]

India doing quite well at the moment.

If u are referring to tendulkar - he failed in a big match once again..

 

[CrickFan]

Arun Lal at his irritating best - he gets an orgasm everytime India scores a run

 

[jackal786]

Sehwag is going for "imran farhat" type of shots!

 

[jackal786]

M.Johnson 143.1 kph

 

[CrickFan]

Sehwag gone

 

[Amjid Javed]

sehwag gone plumb lbw, slashed across line!

huge wkt for Aussies.

 

[jackal786]

Sehwag departs. Now Ozzies are back in the game.
