India v Australia| 1st ODI | Bangalore | [29/9/07]

[kablooee87]

Oh yea, Ganguly has definitely pulled his hamstring.

No more slips now.

 

[purplehaze]

Ganguly fielding on boundary ... Good fearless captaincy by Dhoni

 

[Mo.]

Why is Rameez commentating on this match?

Im assuming this means he'll be here for the whole series, but when theres a Pakistan series coming up, shouldnt he be over there??

I know you dont HAVE to commentate on just your teams matches, but lets face it, he is our premier commentator.

 

[kablooee87]

Singh's pace getting better. Avg is around 136. He's slowing creeping up to 140.

 

[kablooee87]

78-2 after 14.0 overs

Drinks

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pathan warming up, intresting to see how he bowls with a softer ball and as 3rd change!

 

[jackal786]

RP struggles to control his swing. Going by 20/20 78/2 is a good score hehe

 

[kablooee87]

Will be interesting to see Sreesanth bowl the next over or two. He's been used to 4 over spells. He's into his 6th now.


AND GONE!!! Hayden plays a dreadful shot. Bowled em.

 

[kablooee87]

78-3 after 14.2

 

[alexjohn_tcr]

Hayden b Sreesanth

 

[nikred]

booooooooooooooooooooooooooooold

 

[jackal786]

Sree wins the battle.

 

[kablooee87]

Symonds is in now.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Hayden gone sree knocks him over!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Symonds new man in...

78/3 and india on top now...

 

[kablooee87]

Sreesanth got warned for running through the middle of the pitch while celebrating.

In any case, he's getting great shape on his balls here.

 

[king_of_kings_ali]

Just when Hayden was looking good...

 

[Amjid Javed]

Drive and miss by Symo to start with...

 

[kablooee87]

82-3 after 15 overs

3rd PP taken

 

[Amjid Javed]

Aus 81/3 after 15 overs...

 

[lakha84]

[nikred]

[kablooee87]

Gambhir saves 4. single taken.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Last powerplay taken.

 

[kablooee87]

is the three man outside the ring rule for one powerplay or two powerplays

one one PP.

 

[kablooee87]

Rp gets extra bounce. Symonds swings and misses. This is a crucial stage.

 

[kablooee87]

And then he gets too full and goes for 4. Symonds had no trouble with that.

 

[kablooee87]

88-3 after 16 overs

 

[kablooee87]

Sreesanth comes in for another over. This is his 7th. Still getting movement. Still hitting 140 kph.

 

[kablooee87]

Symonds Goes!!!!!!!!


Bamboozled By A Slower Ball.

Aussies In Trouble!!!

Sreesanth is kicking some major butt right now.

 

[nikred]

what a slow ball.....symonds completely decieved

 

[Amjid Javed]

Symonds never looked at ease in middle.

Sree has bowled superbly today!

 

[kablooee87]

Haddin in. Sreesanth gives up a ball straight to the shoulders.


HAHAHAAH Dhoni tries to calm things down and asks for a high 5....Haddin leaves him hanging. LMAO.

 

[jackal786]

It was a leg spinner.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Sree starts with a beamer to haddin!

1st warning!

 

[kablooee87]

Dhoni trying to go for the kill here.

Zaheer back into the attack.

 

[jackal786]

Surprising to see Sree shining. He has always been an erratic bowler in one dayers. Mixed with bad days and good days.

 

[kablooee87]

Surprising to see Sree shining. He has always been an erratic bowler in one dayers. Mixed with bad days and good days.

He has been incredibly eratic today. Bowling all over the place. But once in a while he's producing those deliveries and getting wickets.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Aus 91/4 after 17 overs..

They may struggle to get 200+ here...

 

[kablooee87]

Zaheer's maiden spoiled on the last ball.
93-4 after 18 overs

 

[Amjid Javed]

Zaheer brought back to see if they can get another wicket!

 

[jackal786]

Good to see Dravid standing without worry lines on his forehead for a change.

 

[kablooee87]

Australia HAVE to make sure a wicket doesn't fall to Sreesanth or Zaheer here.

 

[kablooee87]

Another slower ball from Sreesanth. Haddin sees it, drives for 4.

 

[kablooee87]

98-4 after 19.0 overs

 

[kablooee87]

Pathan into the attack.

 

[Amjid Javed]

slower ball slapped thru covers.

 

[kablooee87]

Pathan bowling nice and full.

 

[kablooee87]

And now a ball hits a dead spot. Doesn't bounce AT ALL.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Irfan pathan on to bowl some left arm spin now...

 

[Rob H]

100 up for Australia with the loss of 4 wickets in 19.5 overs.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Irfan getting some turn back into right hander,

 

[kablooee87]

101-4 after 20 overs.

PPs are done.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Now comes the exciting 20 overs of milking cows!

 

[kablooee87]

Powar introduced. He could be the one to blow this for India. We shall see.

 

[jackal786]

Chasing is not easy in Bangalore under lights. 235 to 250 is quiet defendable total.

 

[siimo]

Breaking news guys.. pathan is breaking the 130kph barrier again! From what I remember he hardly touched 125 last time he played for India.

 

[Rob H]

Fabulous flight bowling by Powar. He really bowls that loopy one beautifully.

 

[kablooee87]

Powar almost had em. Tempts him to come down the track. Haddin got lucky it hit his leg.

 

[kablooee87]

Powar beats em again!! But misses teh stumps and goes for 4!! Unlucky.

 

[Rob H]

Again another flighted one that goes through the gate beating Haddin all ends up but goes for 4 byes.

 

[nikred]

super duper slow bowler powar bowling

 

[jackal786]

Fabulous flight bowling by Powar. He really bowls that loopy one beautifully.

This is why people were surprised at him being left out for Harbhajan. When it comes to ODI bowling Powar is much much more intelligent than Bhajji. But under-rated.

 

[kablooee87]

What happened there? There was a noise.....it had the pads....then Dhoni almost runs him out. Clarke is one lucky Mofo. If Dhoni had it Clarke was a goner.

 

[kablooee87]

Clarke charges Powar. Success!!! 4 down the ground.

 

[kablooee87]

Powar will be happy here. 2 straight balls Clarke has come out of his crease.

 

[siimo]

Wow Dravid is looking like a little 16 year old kid again with the pressure of captancy of his back its amazing!

 

[kablooee87]

6 down the ground!

121-4 after 23 overs

 

[Amjid Javed]

Clarke is a superb player of spin, he has very good footwork!

 

[jackal786]

They are playing "get out of jail" shots. I sense a wicket here.

 

[nikred]

is it not 4 if it lands on the rope

 

[Amjid Javed]

Haddin/clarke combining well here...

a wicket thou and india are back on top!

 

[kablooee87]

Dhoni keeping up to the stumps against Pathan.

 

[kablooee87]

Haddin/clarke combining well here...

a wicket thou and india are back on top!

Trouble for Australia is that they don't have anyone else who can elevate the total.

ooh Haddin plays it fine for 4.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Intresting how aussies choose not to really play sweep against spinner and play thru the "V"

thats way spinners should be played!

 

[kablooee87]

126-4 after 24

 

[jackal786]

Not sure how long Dhoni can manage keeping and captaining. It is a tough job.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Dhoni up to stumps for pathan whose not showing much flight here!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Aus 126/4 after 24 overs

 

[kablooee87]

Clarke is not afraid to come down the track to Powar. He's doing it consistently now. Watch out for that faster one Micheal.

But it's not reckless. He gives a distinct sense of knowing exactly what he's doing.
