India vs South Africa: Twenty20 Int

124/8

In previous over...
18.5 Harbhajan Singh to Peterson, OUT, madness! Flat outside off stump, and he slogs the free hit down to the man at long-on, who takes the catch, but Peterson's lost his marbles, and begins to walk away, thinking he was out, and the throw that comes back to Harbhajan is whipped off with the bails, and Peterson has to go...oh ho!

smashed for another four tendu on fire here



Usually these days, that fire is as big as the man himself... :)
 
10.5 Henderson to Mongia, no run, insane! A good, full delivery on off stump, Mongia defends and his bat brakes cleanly in half! I've never seen that happen before! Wasn't even an express delivery, or Brett Lee bowling, but the ball landed smack on the maker's name and spliced it in half! SG sponsors must be hiding their faces...

lol


dhoni falls...
 
So we have India winning with one ball to go, and six wickets in hand. Dinesh Karthik is the man of the moment, his team-mates run out to greet him and Raina. India get that winning vibe after what seems like ages. They won their first 20-over match on debut, must be smashing given their recent run of form. Sehwag is all smiles, leading the cheers. This ground is alive!

Well, India bowled well to keep South Africa down to 126, and then hiccupped a little before Sehwag played a fine hand. Mongia was sluggish but top-scored with a 45-ball 38, the one that was tailormade for this game, Dhoni, came and went in a flash, and then Karthik kept his cool to see India home in the end with an unbeaten 31 from 28.
 
Not really a great convincing win against pretty mediocre SA side, still should boost morale of Men in blue.
 
DK played some gorgeous shots.....good win for india , ristricting SA to 123 is no mean achivement....hope we have more wins as tour goes along!
 
Good work India - now lets hope they wake up for the real "test" matches...
