Shewag is killing Pakistan again. Tendu run out after scoring 2.

India 70/1 (after 8 overs)

Spitfire_x86 · #2 April 4, 2005, 11:24 PM

India 105/1, after 11 overs

Shewag 68* (32 balls), without any slogging!!!!

Spitfire_x86 · #3 April 4, 2005, 11:38 PM

Shewag gone

74 (40), 12x4, 2x6

Shehwar · #4 April 5, 2005, 12:41 AM

216/3 in 30.3 overs!!!!!! Things are looking pretty ominous!

Rubu · #5 April 5, 2005, 12:44 AM

did anyone notice now that stupid umpire signal's six? moves like a robot with several stops in his way to rise both hands. looks pretty stupid.

nah, I love Billy Bowden

Dhoni scored his 100, from 88 balls.

Very well played, gave good company to Shewag, and after Shewag's departure played like a sensible batsman.

I'm watching the match live in TV today. Ganguly was totally clueless in his 21 ball innings of 9.

nope, I have missed watching the whole series. And I've liked Billy since I first saw him in an international match (IIRC, it was in 1999, NZ vs. Ind ODI, and India lost that match)

Though he may have given some bad decisions occasionally, but which umpire doesn't?

BTW, I support India in Ind vs. Pak matches (and against all other teams, of course except Bangladesh).

Hmm...awright bro.....As for me....Simon Toefl is probably the best umpire at the moment.....U hardly see him making a mistake...Aleem Dar also is someone whoz been doing a fair job.....There was Vengkataravagan who was also pretty good..not sure whether hez retired..cheers....

PS: Asoka De Silva is the worst umpire of all time!!!

Spitfire_x86 · #11 April 5, 2005, 01:28 AM

Dhone gone after scoring 148 from 124 balls.

Magnificient innings, especially for a specialist wicketkeeper. This innings is comparable to Shoaib Malik's 143 against India.

Dravid is gone, too

About Umpires: Ashoka-de-Silva is currently the worst, but don't forget the infamous Javed Akhtar. Alim Dar have been doing well recently, but IMO, Vengkataravagan was the best. Don't know why we aren''t seeing him enough recently.

Spitfire_x86 · #12 April 5, 2005, 01:46 AM

Yuvraj gone, India 7 down. They may not reach 350

Shehwar · #13 April 5, 2005, 01:51 AM

Do u think they need anymore than what they already have!!!

Spitfire_x86 · #14 April 5, 2005, 02:07 AM

India finished with 356/9, credit goes to big hittings of Zaheer and Balaji in the last 3 overs.

It's an almost impossible total to chase, but don't forget Karachi.

Carte Blanche · #15 April 5, 2005, 02:16 AM

Any free video links?

Spitfire_x86 · #16 April 5, 2005, 02:53 AM

Afridi gone, a 2nd ball DUCK (b. Nehra)

PAK 9/1 after (1.3 overs)

Billy Bowden's the biggest champion who's ever donned an umpiring suit!

Afridi's had possibly the worst game ever. 0/82 off 9 overs and a second ball duck

Sultan · #18 April 5, 2005, 05:46 AM

Pakistan at ... 251 / 6 .. 36.2 ov

Spitfire_x86 · #19 April 5, 2005, 07:12 AM

Match finished. Pakistan 298 all out.

India won by 58 runs.

Man of the Match: M. Dhoni

Tintin · #20 April 5, 2005, 08:57 AM

A couple of Afridi overs and the Pak wickets at the usual place : http://209.67.220.27/rajeev/index.htm Ignore the stuff at the beginning

......he's been doing this for a while. This is the first time you're seeing this?

couger · #24 April 5, 2005, 02:21 PM

Changing of guards--------Tendulkar's no longer The Man, its Sehwag.

chyicarus · #25 April 5, 2005, 05:22 PM

Well, the problem again was Paki's fielding. Their let a player like Dhoni score such a huge century. It was a buzz kill for the Pakis.
But i must applaude India & co. for their success and witty strategies.
Dada's position in the team is under tremendous pressure, i think he should take a few months off from International cricket and try to jump-start his batting form in domestic cricket.
I was expecting a century from Shoaib Malik and a better performance from Shahid Afridi.
All in all its 2-0 India!!!
