WI win toss and bat.

Now they have first use of the wicket and also have the psychological advantage ... especially if they cross 80!

Thankfully.........atleast, the non striker will not be disturbed by the snoring emanating from the stands

Would be cool if WI can pull off victory in this game...throws the group wide open

Libran · « **Reply #8 on:** October 18, 2006, 11:34:13 AM »

32.3 Bracken to Morton, 1 run, dropped! Full outside off, Morton has an almighty swing at that, mistimes it high over mid-off and cover, Ponting looks at it and runs back, does well to judge it going back but doesnt hold onto it cleanly, in and out goes the ball, Morton gets a life

...so Ponting has also dropped the Cup

keep-it-cool · « **Reply #9 on:** October 18, 2006, 11:38:24 AM »

Ponting will blame the heat for his sweaty hands

Libran · « **Reply #10 on:** October 18, 2006, 11:51:26 AM »

159/ 4 and RSD manages to get his passes for the final....

keep-it-cool · « **Reply #11 on:** October 18, 2006, 11:52:02 AM »

Turning it on now ... a huge six by Lara

159-4 in 38 overs .... 240 looms closer

Libran · « **Reply #12 on:** October 18, 2006, 12:25:25 PM »

between 235 & 240 ...unless they get some real big ones in the next four overs

keep-it-cool · « **Reply #13 on:** October 18, 2006, 12:46:27 PM »

234. Aussies should get there

kingcool1432 · « **Reply #14 on:** October 18, 2006, 01:40:27 PM »

17/2 , Ponting gone.

Supermen in trouble.

Psychological advantage helping WI

One superman is still there ... till Gilchrist is around, WI better not start counting their chickens

kingcool1432 · « **Reply #17 on:** October 18, 2006, 01:47:16 PM »

I think Martyn has a better chance of scoring on this pitch.

Not to mention clarke and hussey waiting in the wings.

keep-it-cool · « **Reply #18 on:** October 18, 2006, 02:07:23 PM »

I agree. But Gilchrist, with some luck, can take the game away if he stays till the 25th over.

In the meanwhile, Martyn hits two boundaries and cops one on the helmet.

And, we were blaming the pitches for boring cricket!

LosingNow · « **Reply #19 on:** October 18, 2006, 02:16:03 PM »

Martyn Gone. 44/3

keep-it-cool · « **Reply #20 on:** October 18, 2006, 02:16:24 PM »

Martyn gone!!!!! 44/3.

Game on!

keep-it-cool · « **Reply #21 on:** October 18, 2006, 02:17:21 PM »

Good that Ponting got out early. He has enough time to think up innovative excuses.

kingcool1432 · « **Reply #22 on:** October 18, 2006, 02:18:52 PM »

Whats Symmonds doing here ? Would have thought they would have saved him for the take-it-away role when the target is close rather than the innings-builder role.

keep-it-cool · « **Reply #23 on:** October 18, 2006, 02:38:39 PM »

I think it may be because Clarke is a much better player of spin bowling ... much more nimble on his feet. So, makes sense to hold him back for a while.

I would have preferred Hussey to come in upfront, however.

keep-it-cool · « **Reply #24 on:** October 18, 2006, 02:41:27 PM »

Gilchrist keeping things under control .. two fours in the last over

keep-it-cool · « **Reply #25 on:** October 18, 2006, 02:54:49 PM »

81/4!!!

Gayle to Symonds, OUT, Gayle gets Symonds and breaks out into animated celebrations.! Symonds comes down the track but is beaten in the flight. The ball threads the bat and pad gap to disturb the furniture. Gayle hops to his left and then to his right, does the routine again before resting on his left side and then circles the air with his right hand - I have done you in kind of celebration.

kingcool1432 · « **Reply #26 on:** October 18, 2006, 03:00:41 PM »

Gayle bowls one over gets a wicket and is replaced ?

Its the 21st over already, whats he being saved for ? The slog overs ?

kingcool1432 · « **Reply #27 on:** October 18, 2006, 03:05:21 PM »

Bravo to Gilchrist, no run, Gilchrist drives at a length delivery on the off stump line, the bat-handle rotates in his hands and the ball goes, along the ground, to Bravo

Thats the 3rd time the Cricinfo commentator has said that about Gilchrist. Does that mean something ? Gilly trying to play with loose hands ?

Jai · « **Reply #28 on:** October 18, 2006, 03:13:43 PM »

Cricinfo comment:
"Will Sarwan be tempted to bring back Gayle after seeing that one from Samuels which turned and bounced? Vinayak Samanth the Mumbai 'keeper is out on the field substituting ..."

So I think Lara is not there on the field. But what about the second sentence? I thought only Pakistan ran into player shortage in the last game and they had only 12 to choose from. But why WI? Anyone knows?

kingcool1432 · « **Reply #29 on:** October 18, 2006, 03:16:18 PM »

"Vinayak Samanth the Mumbai 'keeper is out on the field substituting "

keep-it-cool · « **Reply #30 on:** October 18, 2006, 03:17:10 PM »

No idea. Cricinfo also says that the WI media manager may have to come out in case there is a further emergency ... wonder whether the guy is joking or serious

kingcool1432 · « **Reply #31 on:** October 18, 2006, 03:17:13 PM »

"News filters in that Imran Khan, the West Indies media manager, might have to take the field next in case of any emergency. The camera pans to him and reveals a extremely tense Khan!"

Imagine Vinayak Samanth turning up for WI against us and sledging Sachin in Marathi !!!

If he takes a catch now , will he become the first uncapped player to take a catch in an International match ? Or has it happened before ?(probably has)

Sidhu after Gilchrist completed his 50 - Great minds have great purposes. You are not great if you score a fifty and throw it away. You are great if you win matches. No one reads a book till the middle. It is the ending, my dear friend, that determines how good the book is.
