India v Australia | QF2 | WC'11 | Ahmedabad | 24/3/11

[Munna]

what an idioticly stupid shot :chappal

 

[ace4rmspace]

Unnecessary ... totally uncalled for. Clarke perishes to The Yuvi.

 

[The Slogger]

clarke gone.

india have a chance of keeping aussies under 300

 

[Strike!]

Brainfart from clark there.

 

[duostyle]

Bring SRT back, look at that turn... Best Indian bowler after Yuvi

 

[Turbokam512]

Clarke

Yuvi again.. Sachin trick works

 

[jusarrived]

Raina misfields and lets through a single.

Chappel: Raina excellent again.

it was a misfield ? may be by Pak standards

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Stupid shot from Clarke - was not looking comfortable out there

 

[BaaliSoda]

3 short of 5fer for UV

Kamran Abbasi:

"Boom Boom Sachin" says a banner in the crowd. Scandalous comparing Sachin to the legend that is Afridi!

[Geordie Ahmed]

It wasnt a misfield BUT why mention Pak standards? You have your donkey fielders as well

 

[AZ]

50 for Punter.

has to go on now.

 

[BaaliSoda]

it was a misfield ? may be by Pak standards

It was a very good effort by Raina, it was a sure 2 runs had he not partially stopped the ball

 

[Noman]

Why do India play Patel against a team like Aus I dont now.. But Sreesanthi is a better bowler than him and a wicket taker,

 

[duostyle]

Punter is back, beware yo

 

[Munna]

ponting is back!

first half century for him.... and hope its the last inshAllah regardless of the result of this match

 

[Looney]

Unnecessary , needless shot that from Clarke , just unfathomable

 

[BaaliSoda]

Zaheer is back

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Was it just me or did the crowd boo Pontings 50 just there?

 

[sam]

it was a misfield ? may be by Pak standards

He dived to stop the ball and ended up deflecting it. Didn't stop it cleanly. Isn't that NOT a misfield?

 

[Looney]

[Maula Jutt]

Punter 50.

 

[Noman]

Indian are still favorites.. to win this.. Ponting playing quite slow..

 

[Looney]

Was it just me or did the crowd boo Pontiongs 50 just there?

Koi jal gaya , kisi ne dua di

 

[Yellow Submarine]

It wasnt a misfield BUT why mention Pak standards? You have your donkey fielders as well

Just one, Nehra.

 

[hamzie]

Come on australiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

 

[Maula Jutt]

India played Ponting back into form. I want to break Dhoni's helmet.

 

[Fireworks11]

White is the x factor with the bat.

 

[JellyBro]

if Hussey stays at the crease for 15+ overs then i can almost guarantee Aus will win this..Ponting looking busy as well

 

[Free Hit]

India on top to me

 

[Noman]

Indian have a long batting line up... Indian will win this I think.. Aus will max get 270...

 

[Looney]

If Australia win this , then just forget about Pakistan winning the WC because Aussies will be really pissed and looking to thrash us

 

[Munna]

Just one, Nehra.

wat abt munaf rhodes patel?

 

[mastermind_quad]

Ponting ka wkt chahiye jaldi

 

[BaaliSoda]

All we need is one more wicket then we will be into tail of Aussies.

 

[Looney]

the fielders coming in like hungry geedarh

 

[Free Hit]

harbhajjan comes back on

 

[BaaliSoda]

Bhajji is back

 

[Free Hit]

this yahoo is annoying, but tthat kukukuuuuuuukuuu is good lol

 

[Munna]

Ponting ka wkt chahiye jaldi

out of stock on PP!

 

[Free Hit]

this chappal is soso so anoying too

 

[mastermind_quad]

Bhajji now & single to start with

 

[jattafridi]

Australia need to score atleast 280 otherwise byebye

 

[sam]

Chappel: Left arm spinner got Hussey out Vs Pakistan. Yuvraj should have bowled to him.

 

[Maula Jutt]

Hey there is that Shankar look alike again!

 

[Turbokam512]

If Australia win this , then just forget about Pakistan winning the WC because Aussies will be really pissed and looking to thrash us

This is India, That is Pakistan !

 

[mastermind_quad]

out of stock on PP!

ok ..then Hussey's wkt ...plz

 

[Noman]

Yuvi is indian best bowler so fare in the wc..

 

[AZ]

Sehwag not wearing a number again.

ICC lose again.

 

[Yellow Submarine]

wat abt munaf rhodes patel?

Oh, forgot about him.

 

[Munna]

wats the obsession with yellow ties this wc by most commentators?

they look hideous with some colors!

 

[BaaliSoda]

UV has once again done a pretty good job for a part time bowler

8 overs 31 runs and 2 wickets so far

 

[ZenBowman]

I don't understand how bowlers like Yuvi and Hafeez are taking wickets so regularly. They are not terrible bowlers, but they don't have much turn and only a little variety. West Indies yesterday made Hafeez look virtually unplayable, and today, while the Aussies play spin reasonably well by comparison, Yuvi has taken 2.

 

[IAJ]

Very good wicketkeeping there.

 

[Maula Jutt]

If Australia win this , then just forget about Pakistan winning the WC because Aussies will be really pissed and looking to thrash us

According to a tweet I got:

RT @Aces_sports Afridi, Razzaq & Ahmed..chilling in hotel watching Aus v Ind game. who do they want? they don't care...they know what to do.


I tell you.. our boys are ready for whatever you throw their way this time!

 

[Sufi Malang]

I think Aus has won a good toss here and if they post 270-280, it will be very difficult for the Indians to chase under lights! The wicket might crack a bit as well which will only Aus!

 

[jusarrived]

I will take a total of ~270 from here

 

[mastermind_quad]

bowled ...

 

[BaaliSoda]

Thats a reverse swing from Zak

OZ Tail is coming up

 

[AZ]

what the hell.

 

[IAJ]

Bowled him!

 

[Maula Jutt]

Hussey gone!

 

[mastermind_quad]

Zak zak zak .....

 

[Yellow Submarine]

Bowled him, Zaheer you beauty. Goodbye Hussey.

 

[cric_fan82]

bowled em

 

[Turbokam512]

HUSSEY GONE !

ZAK gets one

 

[ace4rmspace]

Lazy lazy shot!

 

[Maula Jutt]

A 280+ score is on the safe side. But if wickets keep falling like this, they'd hardly reach 250.

 

[ZenBowman]

Lazy lazy shot!

He didn't pick the slower delivery and the reverse did the rest.

 

[BaaliSoda]

If Punter goes now, then even 200 will be difficult for Ozs

 

[Liberty]

Ricky Ponting to Save Australia.

Captain's knock we are witnessing today.

 

[cricketpassion]

Looks like Aus is playing last match in this WC

 

[Britstani]

Beauty from Zaheer!! Ausies in a bit of trouble now.

 

[JellyBro]

Hussey gone! and with it Aus's chances of winning the QF

 

[Munna]

warne888 Shane Warne

If Australia can be around 145/50 at the 30 over mark with 8 wkts in hand they could post 280+ on this wicket that would be v hard to chase

 

[Turbokam512]

Hussey .. couldn't do much about that indipper... the first very good bowl i have seen so far..

Zaheer is getting reverse swing and movement from the pitch..

Australia in trouble.. after the top 4 Ponting looks very single.. out there..

remember the gunther punter Ponting is playing today .. and the outcome of this game will probably decide his fate...

 

[cric_fan82]

need to get ponting now!

 

[Munna]

He didn't pick the slower delivery and the reverse did the rest.

it wasn't reverse... it was spin!

 

[ZenBowman]

warne888 Shane Warne

He predicted a tie, dekhte hai abhi, will be a difficult chase nonetheless. Aussies will not give up without a fight in a knockout game.

 

[Pak_Jazba]

Khan to MEK Hussey, OUT, Zaheer does it again. It's again that mystery bare-knuckle slower ball. It's the latest invention from the Zaheer labs. Instead of getting fore-finger and middle-finger behind the seam, he gets the middle finger alone behind the ball and pushes it with the knuckle. Hence, there is a subtle change in pace, that the batsman can't read out of the hand unless he has binoculars. Hussey doesn't. The knucle ends up pushing the ball in and also helps it move in after landing on the turf. Devon Smith got it the other day, and played all over it. Exactly how Mr. Cricket just did. 118 kph, flummoxes the batsman all ends up and castles him as he heaves the flick and misses. Zaheer spreads his arms on either side, breaks into a smile and trots along as his team-mates converge. Motera loves it.

This has to be the longest description ever for a wicket by cricinfo
