NO!!!!! (aka OZ v WI - DLF Cup final)

[Nice-N-Fresh]

good recovery oz

 

[OZGOD]

Symmo starting to accelerate now. After taking some time to play himself in (17 off his first 41), he's scored 20 off his last six deliveries.

 

[Nice-N-Fresh]

Good 50 Martyn!

Now Aus have every chance to win this

 

[Nice-N-Fresh]

And another six!

 

[Nice-N-Fresh]

WI got a new ball after the six

 

[Nice-N-Fresh]

And gone!

Bradshaw to Martyn, OUT, Martyn gets under the ball but hits it straight into the waiting palms of Runako Morton at long-off. But he has done his job, 52 from 77 balls with seven fours.

 

[OZGOD]

Marto gone hoicking to long off. But he's done well to up the rate a bit. Now Symmo should look to bat to the end.

 

[Nice-N-Fresh]

Symonds strike rate increasing after every delivery now..

 

[OZGOD]

Symmo survives a direct hit. But these two have added some urgency to the running.

 

[OZGOD]

Symmo's run rate, which was at 30 for his first six overs, is up to 90 now.

 

[OZGOD]

This is classic Symmo. After scoring 17 off 41, he's scored 32 off the next 14.

 

[OZGOD]

We're actually not too badly positioned for a late innings charge here - 10 overs to go, wickets in hand, Symmo set, Clarke to provide the foil, with Hussey and Haddin to come. The question is, will 10 overs be enough to undo the damage Katich did?

 

[UJ]

250+ looks probable

 

[UJ]

Symonds is gone, 250 might be hard now

Though mind you Hussey replaces him!!!!

 

[OZGOD]

We'll have to do it without Symmo. Come on Huss!

 

[OZGOD]

250 will be tough, but 220 is achievable.

 

[Nice-N-Fresh]

I think Australian bowlers will do it for their team. Nothing to worry about

 

[OZGOD]

Clarke scoring at a run a ball with no boundaries.

 

[Nice-N-Fresh]

200 up for Aus. Good batting

 

[OZGOD]

Clarke goneski trying to up the pace. I blame Katich.

 

[Nice-N-Fresh]

Clarke goneski trying to up the pace. I blame Katich.

Why you calling him Goneski. Which part did I miss?

 

[Nice-N-Fresh]

you mean goneski as gone maybe...

 

[OZGOD]

SIXXXXXXX for Hussey

 

[OZGOD]

Goneski as in goneeeee

 

[Nice-N-Fresh]

aight

 

[Rob H]

221/6 off 48. Bravo going for 14 in that last over.

 

[OZGOD]

We hit target 1 - 220. Not bad after the Katich debacle. Now to try and to 240 with two overs to go. At least this is something for the bowlers to defend.

 

[Rob H]

Well this is superb stuff from Zee tv. They lose there picture for the cricket so decide to show a load of people dancing. It's like watching ARY.

 

[Rob H]

240/6 off 50. Well done to the last 2 for getting them to a good total.

 

[Nice-N-Fresh]

Well this is superb stuff from Zee tv. They lose there picture for the cricket so decide to show a load of people dancing. It's like watching ARY.

Hahaha

 

[Nice-N-Fresh]

Yeah good batting indeed

 

[OZGOD]

Hussey finishes with a four, OZ 6/240. Huss finishes on 30 off 24 deliveries, Haddin 17 off 12. Something to defend.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Hussey finishes with a four, OZ 6/240. Huss finishes on 30 off 24 deliveries, Haddin 17 off 12. Something to defend.

I think its more than enough. Australia defended 213 day before yesterday, I dont see why they cannot defend 240 against a much weaker oppsition than India

 

[Pathan007]

should be walk in a park for the likes of Gayle's and Lara's me thinks.

 

[PlanetPakistan]

When does the chase start?

 

[Awesome Anjum]

Gayle gone ~ 1st Ball!

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Gayle gone ~ 1st Ball!

oh dear....... Great ball though!

 

[Noman]

when are the match beginning??


ho many min left?

 

[INZItheman]

*** all adverts are coming on zee tv and the match is going on. Such crap service that the commentatory couldnt be heard for all matches and a break every over even worse than ary. Thank god i never suscribed to it.

is it coming free on air?????????

 

[Nice-N-Fresh]

Looks like an easy win for the no 1 team in world cricket

 

[Pathan007]

ohhhhh my............... Morton has yet to get off the mark. 28balls and counting

 

[Pathan007]

and he goes for duck of 32balls. thanx god

 

[Pathan007]

9.6 Bracken to Morton, OUT, and he's gone! A good quick delivery on the stumps, plays down the wrong line and is rapped in front of middle and leg, a good shout and the verdict is upheld, Morton's painstaking innings of 31 deliveries with opening his account comes to an end

 

[Rob H]

Bracken gets Lara caught behind.

 

[Pathan007]

Bracken gets Lara caught behind.

no, crap. it was umpire Benson. the bat hit lara's pad and umpire gave it caught behind.

 

[UJ]

WI are gone!

 

[infamous9383]

heres something new WI collapasing

 

[infamous9383]

how did they mangaged to get into the finals anyways?

 

[infamous9383]

Pakistan should have participated in this tournament

 

[infamous9383]

finally four

 

[infamous9383]

back to back fours

 

[infamous9383]

50 up for WI in 20 overs

 

[infamous9383]

another four but this one was risky

 

[infamous9383]

big appeal turned down

 

[infamous9383]

another appeal turned down

 

[infamous9383]

Bravo gone

 

[OZGOD]

Bravo gone. WI five down after 22 overs. Here comes Hinds.

 

[infamous9383]

wonderful wicketkkeping by haddin

 

[OZGOD]

Hinds clean bowled by the Muppet Watson for a duck!

 

[infamous9383]

Watson bowled Hinds what a delivery six down

 

[OZGOD]

240 actually looks like a bloody good score at the moment, eh. Maybe I was being harsh on Katich...NAH.

 

[UJ]

Out to Watson, how embarrassing!

 

[infamous9383]

the question of only when now

 

[infamous9383]

Watson

opening batsman bowling 86 mph not too bad

 

[infamous9383]

credit to Aus. they have not particulary batted well the entire tourney but bowling has been superb

 

[Rob H]

Smith tries to hit one so hard.

 

[infamous9383]

run rate required near 7

 

[infamous9383]

Smith tries to hit one so hard.

) thought it was going to take haddin's head off

 

[inzidabest]

For my prediction I hope Sarwan plays the innings of his life. he he.

 

[inzidabest]

Katich did a good job today by not giving his wicket early. Does not deserve all the criticism he got here.

 

[inzidabest]

Is Bracken the next Wasim Akram?

 

[infamous9383]

great shot by Sarwan and the ball creamed for four

 

[inzidabest]

sarwan Sarwan Sarwan 444444

 

[infamous9383]

Is Bracken the next Wasim Akram?

the next Irfan Pathan

 

[OZGOD]

the next Irfan Pathan

Yes, he needs clouds to be effective.

 

[infamous9383]

big four

 

[infamous9383]

big six on the roof

 

[infamous9383]

correction clears the roof

 

[infamous9383]

funny sight as the a kid just brought the bowl back
