Triangular Series (AUS-IND-NZ)

Aavishkar Salvi playing and gone for 23 of 3 overs:eek:
Hemang Badani is also in…

India in a good position now
Damien Marty and Micheal Bevan mite ruin their game..

Why isn't Ganguly playing today.

hes injured

I can't believe I'm seeing such appalling fielding! Aussies should have been restricted to 200. Not easy to chase 235 on this pitch.:(

:eek: @ 235/5 a very Un-Aussie scorecard. They had wickets in hand still they made only 235?

Whats up with the wicket? Is it a difficult one for batsmen? With Bevan 40 of 70 and Martyn 61 of 101 and now tendulkar 4 of 25 looks like its very hard to get runs on the wicket. Anyone who is watching the game?

Some fielding:

  • Ponting was dropped by VVS Laxman at first slip on 0. Australia were 16 for 1 from 2.4 overs. Agarkar was the bowler
  • Hayden dropped on 9 by Laxman at point. Australia were 18 for 1 in 5.4 overs. The bowler was Zaheer Khan
  • Hayden was dropped by Harbhajan at square leg on 14. Australia were 27 for 1 in 6.2 overs. The bowler was Agarkar
  • Ponting was dropped by VVS Laxman at first slip on 36. Australia were 112 for 1 from 22.3 overs. Kartik was the bowler
  • Bevan was dropped by VVS Laxman at first slip on 6. Australia were 137 for 4 from 29.5 overs. Harbhajan was the bowler

If they had kept those catches, Australia could have been restricted to 175 or less may be..... but then that is "IF".

Still looks like India will win the game, with Sehwag back to his normal self?

^^ Sehwag is already sitting in the stands with Laxman

India is 36/2 in 12 overs. Last hope is tendulkar who is there at 6 of 33 balls.

lol @ Drop catcher. After reading the scorecard initialy i was about to post “wow, 2 catches by laxman, great” but after reading the above post :hehe: I guess Laxman made a deal with Aussies that they will keep on giving catches until he catches atleat 1 :slight_smile:

Just when you needed him the most, he is enjoying drinks in the stands (as usual i must say). 10Dulkar is gone (45 of 66) and he is followed by Y.Singh

India 111/4

Dravid is sticking to the wickets (29 of 35) and rotating the strike (as usual i must say). He really is the shadow of Miandad in this aspect.

Aussis are right back into the game and now has upper hand. If India loses one more wicket tail will be reveled and I am afraid they are not capable of getting 100+ runs unless Zaher Khan or Agarkar or Harbajan comes up with Heroics.

If Dravid and Badani play cool, India can still make it easily. Let’s see what happen. Next 10 overs are critical

H.Badani on FIRE

batting On 20 of 13 balls with 4 fours :k:

everytime cricketnext.com refreshes, he has one more four added to his name :slight_smile:

Yes, the Calcutta pitch is not an easy one. The average first innings scores are 235. The average second innings scores are 188, so that should tell you how difficult it is to chase 200. The ball starts turning sharply, and it keeps low at odd times.

Rahul and Badani are holding the ship, but if we lose the game it will be because of VVS. Yuvraj is a tapori.

Badani out!!!India will surely lose now.Sob.

Australia 235/5 (50 ov)
India 168/6 (37.0 ov)

Now R Dravid is gone too. Tough time for India.

36.5 Clarke to Dravid, OUT: flat and on the stumps, chopped back on! That is the wicket Australia needed! Clarke has worked his magic yet again!

AUS on way of a very sure win ..... only to avoid if some Indian player comes up with some heroics

Not by a long shot!
Muralitharan Kartik GONE by Harvey!

:bhangra: :nuch:

I guess India will manage the "average" chase.

Harvery on a Hatrick.

Baroda Express gone!

:nuch: :nuch:

So is Zaheer Khan

Australia 235/5 (50 ov)
India 186/8 (39.5 ov)

Ok so where are all those tomy shomy and some1 shomeone? Aisay gaib hoay jaisay gadhay ke sir se seeng :)

Now after harvey took two wickets in a row it's almost impossible for India to win this final ..... Aussie overcoming their nightmare of Eden Gardens ????? Kinda revenge ????

Lets see if Agarkar and Harbajan can win the game for India. They just need to score 40 runs.

Will Agarkar get MahaveerChakkar if he win this game for India?

He has already hit 2 sixes and a four in his 25 runs inning
