India v Australia, 2nd Quarter-final

[Titanic]

Tendulkar 50*

India 83-1 (16.1 overs)

 

[Titanic]

Jason Krejza has come to tempt the Indians with a full buffet and tray of delights.

It might just work?

 

[Titanic]

Then again, his first over has gone for an easy 8. Gambhir tucked in.

India 94-1 (after 18 overs)

 

[Titanic]

Tendulkar out? or is that a no ball ??

 

[Titanic]

He's GONE for 53.

ct Haddin b Tait.

India 94-2 (18.1)

 

[Titanic]

India 118-2 (24 overs)

 

[Titanic]

India seemed to be cruising... and then Kohli stuffs a David Hussey full bunger straight down the throat of midwicket

143-3 (28.3)

 

[Titanic]

and he nearly repeated the dose... but this one went past the clutching hands of mid on... for four.

India 147-3 (29 overs)

 

[Trigger]

50 up for the majestic Gautam Gambhir 167/3

 

[Titanic]

Gambhir tried to run himself out three times...

and succeeded eventually

India 168-4 (33.2 overs)

 

[seagullondon]

and he is gone

 

[Titanic]

32.4 Johnson to Yuvraj Singh, no run, oh boy, Gambhir escapes. Ponting misses the stumps. Full on the toes, Yuvraj times the flick really well and Gambhir took off, but Yuvraj had hit it straight to Ponting at midwicket. He lines up a throw and lets fly. Gambhir had given up. Miss and he survives.

33.1 DJ Hussey to Yuvraj Singh, no run, this is horrendous running. Complete communication breakdown, says Sanjay Manjrekar. Arm ball on the stumps, Yuvraj plays all around it and it pops away to the leg side. Gambhir starts and stopr. Yuvraj starts and stops. The throw goes to the batter's end. Should have gone to the other end.

33.2 DJ Hussey to Yuvraj Singh, OUT, infantile running. Gambhir is gone. That was even more horrendous. Not sure what was happening there again. Yuvraj guides a ball outside off straight to short third man. Gambhir wants a single and runs three-fourths of the way down the track. Yuvraj hasn't budged. Not sure what Gambhir was thinking. He turned and then gave up, he didn't have a chance anyway. Gambhir just looks miffed with Yuvraj, as he bad-mouths on the way back. The fault was entirely his.

Simply unbelievable.

 

[FlownWest]

What a daft run out, after getting so lucky the ball before

How can that be Gambhir's fault? The commentator said it went to third man, so that's the non-striker's call.


Answered on cricinfo it seems:
Uday: "If it went to short third man it was Gambhir's (non strikers) call. Why was it Gambhir's fault? " Coz there was no single there. And Yuvraj did not budge.

 

[Titanic]

India are self-destructing.

Dhoni gone for 7. Caught at point off a short and wide one from Lee.

187-5 (37.3 overs)

The required rate is now a run a ball.

 

[Titanic]

First decent over for India for AGES.

Following up his wicket maiden, Lee goes for 14 (three 4's, a single and a wide) in that one.

India 207-5 (40 overs)

54 required off the final 10 overs.

 

[Titanic]

Tait's over produces a single, a single + an unnecessary overthrow, a boundary 5 wides, single, two, dot and 2 more... 13 off that one.

27 off the last two overs.

India 220-5 (41 overs)

Ponting needs a wicket, and turns to Krejza.

 

[Titanic]

That was squeaky bum time, plenty of turn and bounce... just 2 from it...

India 222-5 (42 overs)

 

[Titanic]

Oops Lee's just taken a smack in the eye trying to stop a boundary with a sprawling dive.

India 229-5 (43 overs)

 

[Simster]

Australia look to be about 20 runs short and badly need 2 quick wickets to stay in the game.
