gone on the last ball, Saffies 148-7 in 31 overs
Re: India vs South Africa, Final ODI @ Belfast - July 1st
btw, I have to concede Agarkar bowled well in the slog overs. I think his huge experience helps him in mixing up his deliveries...which he does well.
he was unplayable in the start. Did you see the dismissal of Kallis?
he was pretty impressive in the end as well. I thought he really contained Kemp, Gibbs and Boucher
Re: India vs South Africa, Final ODI @ Belfast - July 1st
SA 148/7
148 in 31 overs (Run Rate : 4.77) is not an intimidating target by any means. But India could have done better considering the start they got.
Anyways, if India manage to LOSE this match from this point onwards, they will have only themselves to blame.

agarkar has always been a great death bowler
i would say zaheer and agarkar are the only two in the team who know how to finish games
Re: India vs South Africa, Final ODI @ Belfast - July 1st
challo bhai Indian innings start bhee ho gie
Re: India vs South Africa, Final ODI @ Belfast - July 1st
^ Not so sure about Zaheer...I have seen him go for a lot of runs (during the end overs) a number of times.
Agarkar reminds me of Prabhakar during the slog overs. He balls all kind of slow deliveries with varying lines.
Re: India vs South Africa, Final ODI @ Belfast - July 1st
Tendi offered a pretty simple chance in the slips but was not accepted. Gangu already dropped on a difficult chance.
Re: India vs South Africa, Final ODI @ Belfast - July 1st
and Tendi gone this time, what a catch by boucher. Saffies taking an important wicket at the end of happening 2nd over.
India 11-1 in 2 over.

Re: India vs South Africa, Final ODI @ Belfast - July 1st
I am not saying this because Tendulkar just lost his wicket.
Tendulkar is simply not his old self. He looks very tentative.
Re: India vs South Africa, Final ODI @ Belfast - July 1st
Gambhir survived a run out, could have been a disaster. Ganguly failed to respond when Gambhir almost ran to the non striking end after hitting and then had to come back.
Gambhir lying at the ground after the dive and looked back at Gangu as if saying, "What the hell was that ***"
Re: India vs South Africa, Final ODI @ Belfast - July 1st
Gambhir gone
India 20-2 in 4.4 overs
Re: India vs South Africa, Final ODI @ Belfast - July 1st
And India's batting following the all-too-familiar plot.
Deja Vu, if you ask me.
Re: India vs South Africa, Final ODI @ Belfast - July 1st
Ind 38/3 after 11. One more gone.
