India v England | 4th ODI | Bangalore | 23/11/08

[Deewana Mastana]

15 off the over

115 for 3 after 14 overs

Partnership: 63 off just 31 balls

 

[Mohsin]

C'mon ENGLAND!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Munaf Patel back onto bowl

 

[Genghis]

83 runs in 8 overs with 7 wickets in hand ... definately doable as long as they don't lose wickets.

 

[Sparhawk]

Munaf Patel comes back. Hes got an econ rate of under 3 so far...

 

[On_the_up]

munaf with figues of 1-5 off 2 overs comes back to bowl

 

[Deewana Mastana]

C'mon ENGLAND!

I'll second that!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Big hit by SHAH for SIX!

 

[On_the_up]

high and six

 

[Mohsin]

Commentators are sleepy me thinks, c'mon bumble!

 

[On_the_up]

shah moves to 69

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Followed up with a single down the ground

 

[Sparhawk]

Another huge 66666666 to shah.

 

[Bumblebee]

brilliant batting my shah! england can now win this!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

73 off 43 needed

 

[On_the_up]

11 off the over

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Where's Nasser Hussain?

 

[Mohsin]

126-3 now

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Harmy with some drinks and probably a message

 

[Robert]

Owais is best in these do-or-die situations. He knows what to do, just lamp everthing! In other situations I think he overthinks his batting.

 

[On_the_up]

72 required off 7 overs, if these 2 stay in, the definitely do-able

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Good ball to start off with by Yuvi

 

[Genghis]

smart cricket this from Shah. Hitting the bad balls and taking singles every other ball

 

[Bumblebee]

india need a wicket badly!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Another decent delivery goes for 2 byes

 

[Deewana Mastana]

3 off 3 balls in the over so far

Shah on strike now

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Dhoni having a word with Yuvi!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Dott ball

 

[Deewana Mastana]

oops.......Shah slippery

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Tight single gone upstairs to the 3rd umpire

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Freddie's in! He's made it!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Not out and it's a small drinks break!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Kahaan gaye sab???

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Shah on 71 from 46 balls

 

[Bumblebee]

good over from yuvraj!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Whats going on now?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Delays and Delays....LOL

 

[Deewana Mastana]

ZAK coming onto bowl

 

[Deewana Mastana]

England have taken the batting option POWERPLAY

 

[Deewana Mastana]

ZAK replacing Patel

 

[Sparhawk]

Switched to ICL for a bit.

Zaheer khan coming back, it wont be easy getting 10 off him. England also taking the powerplay now. Lots going on.

 

[Bumblebee]

i feel first over after the break would be important, if india get a wicket they would get ahead, another 15 run over and then england are on course!

 

[McBoom]

Cummon Shah ! :aiqbal

 

[Sparhawk]

I was just thinking the powerplay might be wasted against zaheer. If he can keep bowling yorkers...

 

[Genghis]

these next two power play overs are critical!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

2 off the first 2 balls of this over

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Unlucky Freddie moves away and finds a fielder....so NO RUN!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Really good bowling by ZAK just 3 runs off 4 balls so far

 

[Sparhawk]

Brilliant bowling from zaheer.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Shah gone

 

[Sparhawk]

Zahher gets the big wicket of Shah!!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

He made 72 off 48 balls

 

[Bumblebee]

this one is going to the wire! last over finish for sure!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Collingwood joins Fred at the crease!

 

[Bumblebee]

shah gone! brilliant innings though!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

64 from 31 balls needed

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Good over by Zaheer Khan! 4 runs and a wicket!

 

[Genghis]

game slipping away from England now!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Sharma back into the attack

Dhoni rotating his bowlers around.....

 

[Deewana Mastana]

63 off 30 balls now

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Looking tough for England.....

 

[Deewana Mastana]

ZAK setting up the field for Sharma

 

[Sparhawk]

England need a spinner to bowl now. Fast bowlers are much more difficult to smash for six.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Hit hard by Freddie and Sharma gets a hand to it....just a single

 

[Bumblebee]

pacers only got 2 overs left! the game depends how they play the spinners!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Collingwood gets a lucky boundary 1st ball he faces....Harbhajan slips and ball spins away from him to the fence

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Quick single by Collingwood and hit by ZAK just misses the stumps

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Flintoff gone now!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

It was wide if he had let if go

 

[Sparhawk]

Ishant gets the other big wicket of Flintoff... and celebrates by flexing his non existent biceps.

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

Flintoff gone to Ishant.

 

[Legendary_Sage]

all over for england

 

[Deewana Mastana]

There goes England's chances too......

 

[Bumblebee]

flintoff gone!!! awsome bowling by sharma!

 

[Legendary_Sage]

here is my 2000th post.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Samit Patel joins Collingwood

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Off the mark with a boundary

 

[Sparhawk]

Still 5 wickets remaining guys.

And patel hits an exquisite 444444, may have been a fluke.

 

[Bumblebee]

patel hit's a 4 first ball! he aint no mub with the bat!

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

here is my 2000th post.

Congrats, LOL.
