Australia vs India | 1st Final | CB Series | Sydney | 02/03/2008

[UP]

Important match today for both teams...I think Australia will clinch it.

 

[12thMan]

how long for the match to start from now? thanks

 

[UP]

In 3 hours time.

 

[volcyz]

cant wait...

 

[switchblade]

Gonna be hyper interesting.. hope Sachin creates another desert storm today.

 

[saadibaba]

My prediction is a close win by India.

 

[Indiafan]

Australia win toss and bat. They have only chased one match (last one) and lost Pathetically

Chawla instead of Munaf for India, interesting move, playing his only game in a final

Hayden comes back in place of Haddin.

BallayBaz walking to the ground. Gilli ahead of Hayden to get the applause from SCG

 

[Nadia]

4 to Hayden!

 

[Daoud]

11/0 after 2

 

[Daoud]

Pummeled through the covers by Gilly. Poor bowing from Praveen. Followed it up with a wide down the leg side

 

[Daoud]

Gilly gone. 16/1

 

[Nadia]

Oh no Gilchrist is out!

 

[Daoud]

Ponting drags one back on. Clean bowled according to Greig
2 down now

 

[shahzad_1]

Ponting gone.............

 

[shahzad_1]

India on the top!!!!
so far good start....

 

[shahzad_1]

Waiting for u-19 match.... that must be interesting....

 

[Nadia]

Kumar on fire! 2 big wickets for him!

 

[Random Aussie]

Damn it here we go again. Would be nice if some of our batsman actualy made some runs sometime

 

[Daoud]

Kumar looks so innocuous but he just has a knack of picking up wickets

 

[shahzad_1]

well, doesn't look like they are taking this game serious/

Both wickets were thrown on silly shots.

 

[Daoud]

Clarke out now. Good bowling from Sharma

 

[shahzad_1]

Clarke out now. Good bowling from Sharma

i think it was pad....

 

[shahzad_1]

Aussi in trouble big time...

 

[Daoud]

i think it was pad....

Yep, on second viewing it definitely wasnt out

Cheating!

 

[Nadia]

Gosh you are playing for a nation and its a joke when you dont take a game serious thats not an excuse.

Ask those millions of people who are dieng to represent their country.

 

[Indiafan]

Aussies have tried to dominate in ALL the finals they play. that is their srategy. Reemember the WC finals and how Ponting, Hayden and Gilchrist played in the last few? They try to put the bowlers off right from the first over!

 

[jackal786]

Good bowling..

 

[nikred]

is it bangladesh india is playing with?

 

[shahzad_1]

one more quick wicket.... game would be in India's hand...

 

[Daoud]

Walking pull shot from Hayden for 4

 

[shahzad_1]

is it bangladesh india is playing with?

you could say that!!!!


luck is going india's way....


last wicket was bad luck for clarke....

 

[tmac4real]

ishant "milliondolla man" sharma picks up clarke. Let's see if India can capitlize on this. Aus are a class class team and still the champs. It will take a monumental effort to beat them.

but wasnt there a faint inside edge? Cricinfo definitely thinks so!

Are you a girl by the way? No offence but was surprised to know you were one!

Definitely not

I was watching a replay...

ball hitting the top part of the pad can be clearly seen....

Clarke indicating to the umpire that he didn't hit it. Wonder if the umps noted that.

thanks for Daoud and you for clarifying. Was there a chance he was given LBW?

 

[shahzad_1]

well, nothing can be done now... Clarke was given out... so he is out... doesn't matter now he got edge or not...

good for India, bad for Aussi...

make umpire would make up for it.. later in the game....

[tmac4real]

yeah guys I'm a guy that was just PP with his "jokes" I will have aword with him when I see him.

I am sure he is not going to last for long....

they all start well and then be over in year or 2.

 

[Indiafan]

So now its on cricinfo too. So tmac4real cant hide it anymore

 

[bones20]

no, who the heck told u that?

Well if you are, how you doing babes? enjoy the attention.

 

[tmac4real]

werea nyone of them hyped asm uch for their pace as he is? I mean he came in with relatively low hype and ended up being the most expesnisve bowler in the auction. He's really hyped for his speed now, it'll be hard to turn him into meidum apcer wihtout losing his identity.

 

[bones20]

you broke our hearts

 

[Daoud]

Nah, flicked the top of the pad so was too high. Clarke trying to influence the umpire was poor on his part though

 

[tmac4real]

nevermind, PlanetPakistan won't be posting for a while. PlanetPakistan is going on a looonng vacation

 

[Daoud]

A couple of good shots from Symonds back to back. 44/3 now

 

[purplehaze]

Just be gentle while telling PP that you are a guy. I'm sure he'll be shattered. Black Sunday in line for him...

Symo doing a gilly here... launching a good counter attack

ok enough about you girl symmo pouncing on the indians

 

[purplehaze]

This guy Praveen Kumar has lot of resemblance with Robin Singh in his appraoch towards the game. Looks like a sincere, hard working cricketer...

 

[Indiafan]

Nah, flicked the top of the pad so was too high. Clarke trying to influence the umpire was poor on his part though

I was going with cricinfo's word where they had it c&b Sharma so thoguht there might be a faint inside egde to pads and then catch to Sharma or LBW

Now i see they have changed it to c Dhoni B Sharma
