Imran Khan & Former Pakistani Cricketers Rehman Malik Match Fixing Comments on Pakistani Team Is Rubbish


ISLAMABAD: Better known for his verbal faux-pas, Pakistan's interior minister  Rehman Malik warned the country's cricket team on Monday against match-fixing, saying the government would be closely scrutinizing them in the match against  India in Mohali. 

Rehman Malik Said "I gave them a warning yesterday that there should be no match-fixing. I am keeping a close watch. If any such thing happens, we are going to take action," Malik told reporters in Karachi  . 

He described the current cricket team as comprising of clean members but said: "It is necessary to monitor the player because we can't take a chance after what happened in London . I should not have revealed but we keep an eye on people who meet our players, with whom they talk by telephone." 



The International Cricket Council's anti-corruption tribunal punished former Pakistani captain Salman Butt and two fast bowlers, Muhammad Asif and Muhammad Aamer for spot-fixing with lengthy bans from the game in February. The trio's involvement in spot-fixing at Lord's Test last year was shocking for the cricket-loving Pakistani nation.

No one knows about Rehman Malik's managerial role in the affairs of Pakistan Cricket Board, although, he had also some good advice for the players.

"They should concentrate on their practice and must go to bed early. They should ensure discipline and rise up according to their schedule. I advise them to dedicate themselves to the game for Pakistan."

Malik's comments were met with hard hitting response from Pakistani cricket legends. Imran Khan, a Pakistan cricket legend turned politician said, "I am more worried about Malik than the cricket team. For all who might not know, Malik was absconding from justice until very recently."

Khan said the minister does not have a very good command on the English language so he must have meant something else. No one in the Pakistani team will even read that statement. They've much better things to do," Khan said. If one wants to stamp out corruption, the cricket boards and the ICC needs to get more vigilant. He said spot-fixing was a very difficult thing to detect.

Former Pakistani Test player Zaheer Abbas rubbished Malik's remarks, saying it was inappropriate for Malik to make such comments at this time.

"Rather than boosting the morale of the players, the interior minister is trying to demoralize them," he said.

Former Pakistani opener Aamir Sohail said that the minister should have conveyed his message to the team personally rather than saying it on media. "However, there are fears of match-fixing in the semifinal," he remarked.

Sri Lanka Vs England :Tharanga & Dilshan Centuries Takes Sri Lanka into World Cup Semi Final


Sri Lanka Won by Quarter Finals by 10th Wickets Against England. Tillakaratne Dilshan 108 runs (115 balls with 10 fours & 2 Sixes) and Upul Tharanga 102 Runs (122 balls 12 fours & 1 Six) are the heros in the Sri lankan Victory. Now Sri Lanka play First Semi Final against New Zealand on 29th March at Colombo. Second Semi Finals will be played between Pakistan & India on 30th March at Mohali

Tillakaratne Dilshan image courtesy Espn Cric info



 Tillakaratne Dilshan and Upul Tharanga set an emphatic seal on Sri Lanka's place in their home semi-final against New Zealand next Tuesday, as England's chaotic World Cup campaign came to an abrupt and anticlimactic end under the floodlights at the Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. Set a testing total of 230 at a venue where successful run-chases have been notoriously thin on the ground, Sri Lanka's openers set about proving that history is bunk as they sauntered to victory by 10 wickets and with a massive 64 balls to spare. After five months on the road for England's cricketers, and six consecutive nail-biters in the group stages of the tournament, they found they had nothing left to give as the first round of knock-out matches was concluded with an utter walloping.


Though several higher scores have been made in this tournament to date, England's total of 229 for 6 ought to have competitive in the conditions. Only eight times in 49 internationals at the venue had a team batting second chased 230 or more for victory, and the most recent occasion came back in 2004. However, Dilshan and Tharanga battled through a tricky start with a flurry of aggression, before settling back into an effortlessly accumulative tempo. For the second time in the campaign, following on from their crushing of Zimbabwe in Pallekele, both men brought up centuries in a massive and indomitable stand.

Full report to follow.



50 overs England 229 for 6 (Trott 86, Morgan 50) v Sri Lanka

Jonathan Trott and Eoin Morgan turned up the heat on Sri Lanka with a fourth-wicket stand of 91 in 16 overs, only for the batting Powerplay to once again scupper England's momentum, as two nervy sets of players fought for the ascendancy in a gripping quarter-final in Colombo. After winning the toss on a typically spin-friendly surface, England overcame a sluggish start to post a defendable total of 229 for 6, with Trott once again playing the anchor role as he passed 400 runs for the tournament with his fifth fifty in seven innings.

However, their ambitions of a formidable 240-plus total were scuppered by the dismissal of Morgan in the first over of the Powerplay. 

Until he drilled Lasith Malinga to deep cover for a 55-ball 50, he had lived a charmed life, with no fewer than four clear-cut chances going his way - three dropped catches, two of them extraordinarily easy, and an lbw appeal on 29 that would have proved stone-dead on review. His luck, however, ran out at an inopportune moment for England, and when Graeme Swann missed a switch hit to fall for a first-ball duck, England proved incapable of reaching the boundary while the field was up, with just 23 runs coming in the five overs of fielding restrictions, and 56 in the last 10 all told.


Nevertheless, England have runs on the board, and that - according to the ground statistics at least - could be half the battle won. Thirty-six of the 49 completed matches at the Premadasa Stadium have gone to the side batting first, including 14 of the last 18 day-night fixtures, and Trott's performance was that of a man who knew that if he batted through the innings, the runs would materialise somehow. He finished with 86 from 115 balls with just two boundaries, none of which came in the first 30 overs, and eventually fell in pursuit of his third, as he swept Muttiah Muralitharan to deep backward square with nine balls of the innings remaining.

This could yet prove to be the last match of Murali's exceptional career, and he finished with 2 for 54 in nine overs before limping off with an apparent recurrence of his hamstring strain. However, that tally could have been higher but for an extraordinary sequence of events in his eighth over, when Morgan was dropped twice in consecutive deliveries. He had already survived one dolly of an opportunity on 16, when Thilan Samaraweera shelled a leading edge off Ajantha Mendis at point, but Murali couldn't contain his fury when, first, Angelo Mathews at extra cover fluffed a lofted drive, before Rangana Herath dived forward at point but failed to cling on.

In between his let-offs, Morgan produced a typically inventive and energising performance. England had collected a grand total of four boundaries before he came to the middle in the 28th over, but Morgan added that many off his own bat, as he worked the angles in his inimitable style, launching Malinga for a checked drive over extra cover before dabbing three more through third man, two via an open face, and one from a well-timed reverse sweep.

Such riches proved hard to come by at the top of the order, as Sri Lanka's bowlers applied the tightest of tourniquets in the opening exchanges of the contest. Despite enjoying a fine tournament to date, Strauss's ambitions were thwarted from the outset as Sri Lanka opened their bowling with a spinner for the first time in the tournament to date, and he already seemed resigned to ugly heaves through the leg-side when Tillakaratne Dilshan beat him on precisely that shot in the eighth over, to send the captain back for 5 from 19 balls.
At the other end, Ian Bell became Strauss's third opening partner of the campaign, after Kevin Pietersen and Matt Prior, and he launched his innings in fine style with a first-ball flick through square leg for four as Malinga strayed onto his pads. Mathews, though several notches slower than Malinga, also provided enough pace to pick the gaps, as Bell added two more boundaries in an attractive and promising 25 from 32 balls. But, just when he seemed set for a big performance, Bell chipped Mathews limply to midwicket, as England struggled to 32 for 2 in the mandatory Powerplay - their lowest total in the tournament to date.


However, Trott's sang froid was well suited to the situation, as he backed himself to work the ones and twos in a boundary-less start to his innings, and at the same time he drew a gutsy response from Ravi Bopara, who was far less comfortable with the tempo, but who knuckled down for an important 31 from 56 balls.


Bopara cut Herath sweetly through point for four early in his stay, but he might have fallen twice in two balls in Herath's next over, as an lbw appeal was deemed to be missing leg (although the decision would have stayed on-field) before Bopara missed a cut that zipped millimetres past his off stump. Herath also had another lbw appeal that was this time sent for a review, before Murali's wiles eventually extracted him on the sweep in the 27th over. Nevertheless, the collective effort has given England's bowlers something to chew on. Another thrilling finale is in prospect.

New Zealand VS South Africa Jacob Oram takes New Zealand into Semi Finals

New Zealand 221 for 8 (Ryder 83, Taylor 43, Morkel 3-46) beat South Africa 172 (Oram 4-39) by 49 runs 




Oh South Africa, what have you done? Earlier this month Graeme Smith tweeted an article titled 'Time to ban the 'C' word'. Hold on to that thought Smith, for clearly that time hasn't come yet. South Africa were cruising at 108 for 2 in the 25th over when Jacques Kallis fell and they crash-landed spectacularly to be shot out for 172. The self-destructive streak was demonically masochistic in nature and it will perhaps require shrinks to understand this dramatic denouement. Once they realised their opponents were cracking under pressure, New Zealand went in for the kill, with close-in fielders and disciplined bowling, led by Jacob Oram who took four wickets and a great catch.

Even when Kallis fell, to a blinder of a catch from Jacob Oram, rushing to his left at deep midwicket, there wasn't much to suggest that this could turn into another contender for all-time greatest choke in World Cup history. The pitch was slow but there was no sharp turn; the bowlers were disciplined but there was no sensational game-breaking spell; none of the three spinners got much purchase from the wicket; and the total was below par; but for some reason South Africa were feeling extremely claustrophobic.

Their nerves were best represented by the dismissal of JP Duminy, who played an awful shot to open the choke gates. Nathan McCullum slowed up the pace on a delivery that landed on a length, outside off, and Duminy went so hard into an ugly cut that he ended up dragging the ball on to his stumps. With Duminy's fall, South Africa were in a spot of bother at 121 for 4, in the 28th over, and the first signs of something special loomed over Mirpur.

There was more heartbreak for South African fans in the next over. Faf du Plessis hit straight to midwicket and ran like a headless chicken. AB de Villiers should have perhaps refused that call, but he responded, only to find himself well short of the crease. It was at this moment that New Zealand really sensed that this could be their night. And they moved in for the kill.

The moment was so ripe that even Daniel Vettori, not known for sledging, gave some lip to du Plessis. Even Kyle Mills, who had carried drinks on to the field at the fall of de Villiers, got into the act. A visibly agitated du Plessis shoved Mills, the departing de Villiers returned to support his partner, and eventually the umpires had to get involved. New Zealand's players swooped in to the crime scene and it was a classic Youtube moment. You could almost feel the pressure-cooker situation out there.

New Zealand crowded the bat with close-in men, ready to sledge and eager to pile on the pressure, and Johan Botha cracked in the 33rd over. It was a lovely legcutter from Oram and Botha played down the wrong line to lose his off stump. Oram, who was the man who started it all with that Kallis catch, wasn't done yet. In the 35th over, he lured Robin Peterson into edging an attempted cut to the keeper and South Africa were swaying away like drunken men at 132 for 7. South Africa's nerves were frayed further when Dale Steyn square drove Nathan McCullum in the air to backward point, where who else but Oram accepted the offering.

If Oram was the man in the forefront of New Zealand's resurgence, du Plessis was the man seeking redemption for making that wrong call that led to the run out of de Villiers. In his brief international career, he has already shown that he has the tenacity to remain relatively calm under pressure. And he wasn't ready to throw in the towel. He was on 14 when Steyn fell, and he took ownership of the chase. He rushed down the track to slam Tim Southee to the straight boundary in the 40th over, on drove Vettori to collect another four in the 41st, and even lifted Oram for a thrilling six over long-off in the 43rd over.

It was in the same over that the game turned for one last time, and it was also an over that captured the entire madness of the evening. du Plessis had crashed the first delivery of the over back at Oram who couldn't hold on to a very difficult chance, and once the six was hit, one had to ask the question: was the night turning for Oram? Was it swinging towards du Plessis? But du Plessis sliced the fifth ball straight to extra cover and South Africa had well and truly sunk into oblivion.

The end was a far cry from the way South Africa started the day. They attacked with spin and seam, shuffled their bowlers regularly like a pack of cards, and hustled on the field to keep a tight leash on New Zealand. Jesse Ryder and Ross Taylor were at the forefront of a revival from the depths of 16 for 2; carefully, almost mindful of a potential lower-order collapse on this pitch, Ryder and Taylor battled through. The odd boundary signalled growing comfort, but they never broke away decisively. A nervy equilibrium had been reached by the end of the 30th over with New Zealand reaching 112 for 2 and the game was waiting to be seized. However, both Ryder and Taylor departed in quick succession but Kane Williamson made a vital 38 to push New Zealand to 221.

    England Won by 18 Runs Vs West Indies. England have still chance for Quarter Finals

    England won in an exciting and thrilling match against West Indies by 18 Runs and now hopes for England to remain in Cricket World Cup 2011 is still live. This league match was do or die match for England.

    Image Courtesy Espn Cricinfo



    A pair of blistering cameos from Chris Gayle and Darren Sammy put West Indies firmly on course for victory in their Group B showdown with England, but a steady stream of wickets - first for the spinner James Tredwell and then for the medium-pace of Ravi Bopara - left the match firmly in the balance at the halfway mark of yet another fascinating contest in Chennai, with the big hitter Kieron Pollard unbeaten on 15 alongside Ramnaresh Sarwan.

    England's total of 243 was better than they might have anticipated at 151 for 6, but it still seemed a good 30 runs below par, especially when Gayle tore onto the offensive in a thrillingly belligerent 43 from 21 balls. With Devon Smith a mere bystander at the top of the order, Gayle smashed the usually reliable Tim Bresnan for four fours in his second over of the match, before welcoming Chris Tremlett to World Cup cricket in no-less-devastating fashion, with three fours and a dismissive six over wide long-on.

    After five overs, West Indies already had 50 on the board, but not for the first time at Chennai, the arrival of the spinners signalled a change of tempo. Graeme Swann's first over went for a tidy three runs, before Tredwell struck with his fourth ball of the tournament, one delivery after Gayle had swatted him for his ninth boundary in 20 balls. Leaning onto the front foot, he was rapped on the pad in front of middle, and a full four years after his international debut, Tredwell finally had his first ODI wicket.

    One over later, Tredwell had his second. He had to wait until Sammy had slapped him into the stands for six, but when Smith came onto strike, Tredwell fired a yorker into his boot, which dribbled out past the off stump for Matt Prior to pull off a sharp stumping as he scooped the ball in his right glove. And Tredwell made it three wickets in four overs when Darren Bravo was caught in two minds as he pushed outside off, for Strauss at slip to cling onto a sharp low catch.

    Sammy by this stage was into his stride. West Indies' captain had promoted himself to No. 3 primarily to combat the offspin of Swann and Tredwell, but he continued to attack the off-colour Bresnan who switched ends to no avail as he was flogged for two further boundaries. Another big six over long-on off Tredwell took Sammy to 36 from 21 balls, but after a relative period of calm, Bopara nailed him via an inside-edge onto the off stump.

    The same mode of dismissal then accounted for Devon Thomas, who had been playing the anchor role in his 10 from 20 balls, and at 118 for 5 after 20 overs, England felt as though they had the upper hand for the first time in the innings. Pollard, however, took his time to get involved as he and Sarwan played out three consecutive maidens, and he didn't truly play a shot in anger until Swann returned for his second spell. His second ball was thumped high over midwicket for six, but his fourth was badly dropped by Bopara in the covers, as he ran back to a miscued swipe.

    48.4 overs England 243 (Trott 47, Russell 4-49) v West Indies

    England's reshuffled bowling attack will need to defend their second below-par total in consecutive matches at Chennai, after yet another schizophrenic performance left their World Cup hopes dangling tantalisingly in their must-win Group B fixture against West Indies. After winning the toss on a decent batting track, England squandered a flying start from Jonathan Trott to lose four key wickets in a calamitous mid-innings collapse, before a ballsy 44 from the recalled Luke Wright hosted them back up towards a passable total of 243.

    It was a batting performance that epitomised England's extraordinary campaign. While Trott was at the crease, caressing boundary after boundary in a 38-ball 47, there seemed no reason to doubt that, at the sixth time of asking, his team would finally produce the command performance that has been so glaringly absent from their efforts to date. But then, when he fell in the 22nd over to a feeble clip to short midwicket, the middle order lost all semblance of direction and had collapsed to 151 for 6 before Wright's run-a-ball stand of 41 with James Tredwell prompted a vital revival.

    Devendra Bishoo, the Guyanese legspinner, bowled supremely on debut to claim 3 for 34 in his ten overs, including 2 for 23 in a massively composed first spell of eight off the reel, while the bustling Andre Russell was a constant threat as he mixed boundary balls with wicket-taking deliveries to finish with a career-best 4 for 49. But England once again will wonder how they threw away a position of such dominance, having at one stage been cruising on 121 for 2.

    Needing victory even to give themselves a chance of qualifying for the quarter-finals, England were handed a solid platform through a 48-run stand for the first wicket between Andrew Strauss and Matt Prior, who produced his most fluent innings of the tournament to date with a run-a-ball 21, before Russell produced a beauty that slid back through the gate to demolish his middle stump.

    Nevertheless, before the over was done, Trott had broken into a gallop with three fours from his first five balls - a perfectly timed flick through midwicket to get off the mark, followed by a dismissive pull and a dead-eyed drive through the covers, all along the ground and racing across a lightning-quick outfield. He then added a further three in a row from Darren Sammy and Russell - every one a result of placement over power - to rush along to a heady 26 from nine balls.

    At the other end, Strauss had bedded down for a typically determined performance, as he played out a maiden first-up from Kemar Roach before greeting Darren Sammy with a second-ball pull for six over midwicket, but the extra lift of Russell scuppered him on 31, as another attempted pull scuffed off a top-edge, for the fit-again Chris Gayle to complete an excellent catch running back from short midwicket.

    It was the introduction of Bishoo that undermined the momentum of the innings. Ian Bell once again proved reluctant to use his feet as he dealt almost exclusively in singles for the first 30 balls of his innings, but Trott was the first man to be unseated by the leggie, as he flicked loosely against the turn, and lobbed a gentle catch straight to Gayle at midwicket. After such a poised start to his innings, it was a rare misjudgement from a batsman who had scarcely played a false shot all tournament.

    Bell, whose returns have dropped off in recent weeks, looked to have laid the foundations of a decent innings with 26 from 47 balls before he was undone by the extra pace of Roach, who blasted out his off stump from the first ball of his new spell. And England's campaign was officially on the skids when Eoin Morgan, their undisputed trump card, attempted to get too cute - even by his inventive standards - and dabbed an attempted back-sweep off Bishoo straight into the gloves of Devon Thomas for 7.

    Ravi Bopara, who looked leaden-footed and unsure of his role throughout a 16-ball stay, then poked limply at Russell and took out his own stumps via an inside-edge, leaving England's fate in the hands of two men who had barely featured in their plans at any stage of their long tour. Wright last played at Perth during the Australia ODIs, while Tredwell's only outing of the whole winter came at Hobart. But they played sensibly enough in a 41-run stand for the seventh wicket - a tally that was boosted by two lots of five wides - before a disastrous mix-up on a Kieron Pollard misfield led to Tredwell's run-out for 9.

    Wright clumped five fours in a 57-ball stay before launching Bishoo down the throat of Russell at cow corner, whereupon the reliable tonker Tim Bresnan took up the cudgels in the closing overs with an unbeaten 20 from 27 balls. The final wicket fell to Roach, who banged in a short ball that extracted Chris Tremlett with eight deliveries left unused. It might be enough, but this is a much firmer surface than the one on which England defended 171. And they have the services of neither the dropped James Anderson, nor the injured Stuart Broad. And nor even the mercurial wiles of Ajmal Shahzad, whose campaign has been ended by a hamstring strain.

    England 1 Andrew Strauss (capt), 2 Matt Prior (wk), 3 Jonathan Trott, 4 Ian Bell, 5 Eoin Morgan, 6 Ravi Bopara, 7 Tim Bresnan, 8 Luke Wright, 9 Graeme Swann, 10 James Tredwell, 11 Chris Tremlett.

    West Indies 1 Chris Gayle, 2 Devon Smith, 3 Darren Bravo, 4 Ramnaresh Sarwan, 5 Kieron Pollard, 6 Darren Sammy (capt), 7 Andre Russell, 8 Devon Thomas (wk), 9 Devendra Bishoo, 10 Sulieman Benn, 11 Kemar Roach.

    Pakistan won by 7 wickets Vs Zimbawa & Qualify for the Quarter Final of World Cup 2011

    Pakistan won by 7 wickets (with 23 balls remaining) (D/L method) in ICC Cricket World Cup - 33rd match, Group A


    UMAR Gul was Man of the match for his bowling performance taken (3/36)  in 7.4 overs


    Pakistan made the most of Elton Chigumbura's generous offer to bat first to secure a seven-wicket victory in a rain-reduced fixture at Pallekele and rubber-stamp their quarter-final place. The dank skies delivered two huge downpours that meant Duckworth-Lewis made its first appearance of the tournament in another one-sided Group A fixture. 

    With the damp pitch and heavy cloud cover Pallekele resembled an early-spring Headingley and Pakistan's bowlers thrived in the helpful conditions. They entered the game on the back of a 110-run hammering on the same ground by New Zealand, but rediscovered their focus to reduce Zimbabwe to 157 for 7 when a second rain delay brought a premature end to the innings. Asad Shafiq then helped himself to an unbeaten 78 in his first World Cup match to steer Pakistan to an easy victory. 

    Shoaib Akhtar was dropped after his shambolic showing in the previous match and, having struggled for new-ball scalps through the tournament, the opening pair of Umar Gul and Abdul Razzaq made three inroads in the first six overs which set the tone for the remainder of the day. 

    Razzaq, who was flogged for 49 in four overs against New Zealand, landed the key blow in the first over when he had Brendan Taylor caught behind for 5. Taylor would be forgiven for thinking himself unlucky because it was Pakistan's calamitous wicketkeeper Kamran Akmal who held chance. Kamran had put down an almost identical one off Ross Taylor last Tuesday but here, to the palpable relief of all his team-mates, he made no mistake. 

    If that was impressive enough, Misbah-ul-Haq's catch at slip to remove Vusi Sibanda, demonstrated a rare sharpness in the field as he moved swiftly to his right to pluck the sharp chance out the air. With the ball darting around and Gul generating good pace it looked as though Zimbabwe would subside swiftly, but Craig Ervine resisted with a gutsy half-century, finding support from Greg Lamb and later Chigumbura, who made his second-highest score in 19 matches as captain with an unbeaten 32. 

    Ervine was the most assured of the Zimbabwe players but was gifted a life on 13 when Misbah undid his earlier good work by fluffing a simple chance off Razzaq. The dark clouds had threatened all afternoon and finally let rip in the 28th over with a tropical downpour. On most grounds it would have been enough to end proceedings for the day, but a collection of huge covers and an army of groundstaff combined to get the entire outfield protected and play resumed after 90 minutes. 

    The delay freshened up an already sprightly surface and Ervine fell five balls after completing his fifty. It left Chigumbura to try and atone for his earlier decision to bat and he was looking in good order when rain returned to close the innings prematurely, setting a modest target of 162 from 38 overs. 

    Pakistan laboured somewhat early on in a straightforward chase before Shafiq took control. Ahmed Shehzad's miserable tournament continued when he ran past a flighted Ray Price delivery to fall for 8. He now has a highest score of 13 from five knocks this World Cup which, after starring in Pakistan's 3-2 series victory in New Zealand that preceded the tournament, is a major disappointment. 

    Instead it was his Mohammad Hafeez who steadied the early innings with 49. After Hafeez fell, Shahid Afridi promoted himself up the order but his search for batting form continued as he landed a couple of sweeps before missing a cut to give an ecstatic Price his second wicket 


    Shafiq, in the side head of Umar Akmal, began very quietly and had 5 from 26 deliveries before finding the boundary for the first time. He added 41 from his next 49 balls to bring up a composed half-century and ensure no alarms. 

    After Afridi's predictable blow-out Younis Khan partnered Shafiq to guide Pakistan over the line and into the quarter-finals with a 54-run stand. It means Group A's qualifiers are settled and the ICC can only be thankful Group B has been exciting enough to keep the elongated opening phase interesting.

    India Lost Against South Africa by 3 Wickets in Nagpur Group B Match

    Thanks to Ashish Nehra for his last over which he given 13 runs in just 4 balls.Robin Peterson was on the strike and he hits Four, Six, Two, Four  of the Nehra's last over and South Africa won the Match against India by 3 Wickets and 2 balls remaining .

    India lost his first match in ICC cricket world cup 2011. Before this Virender Sehwag & Sachin Tendulkar gives India a solid opening. India loose Virender sehwag(73)  at 142 after this Gautam Gambhir 

    AB de Villiers hitting a huge Six
    Beware of that batting Powerplay. India absent their endure nine wickets for 29 runs and you wouldn't accept believed it if you hadn't apparent it. South Africa were staring down the butt at the end of 38 overs. India were aimless at 253 for 1, Sachin Tendulkar was canoeing accomplished 100, and a huge absolute seemed a authoritativeness if they took the batting Powerplay and gaped in abhorrence as disaster-gate comatose their party. India absent four wickets for 30 runs and burst to 296 in a amazing appearance of play in Nagpur. It's a assurance of times that 296 feels a par total. Admittedly, the angle slowed up as the bold progressed and hinted at demography about-face and India's hopes blow on that.


    Fittingly, it was the brace of Dale Steyn and Morne Morkel, who bled runs with the new ball, who did the accident during this berserk phase. Tendulkar fell to an across-the-line hoick, his aboriginal animal attempt of the day, in the 40th over to Morne Morkel. Steyn had a bifold bang in the next over: Gautam Gambhir backed alfresco leg and biconcave a slower one to mid-off and Yusuf Pathan accursed to cover. Things got worse if Yuvraj Singh swung a abounding bung to long-on of the final supply of the Powerplay, and it angry anarchic if Virat Kohli gave a acclimatized acknowledgment bolt to Robin Peterson. In the amplitude of a few minutes, the bold had coiled out of India's ascendancy and alternate to balance. Steyn even went on to complete a five-for, something that was hardly believable if he was aperture runs with the new ball, if he bankrupt up the tail.


    Until that beauteous appearance of play, it was all India. Until again even 375 seemed a possibility. On Twitter, Ian O'Brien bent the annihilation in the aboriginal overs in Nagpur perfectly: "Currently sitting in a corner, agitation aback and forth, accepting Indian nightmare. Poor bowlers, it's not fair." On a batting pitch, Tendulkar alert with his about serene aggression, and Virender Sehwag addled with his casual strokeplay, as India ashamed up 174 by the half-way mark.

    If Sehwag pumped in the adrenalin, Tendulkar oozed class. Controlled assailment is a appellation about bandied about but there has been rarely a bigger affectation of it than the one provided by Tendulkar at Jamtha. If you just noticed the strike-rate, it would be appetizing to say he formed aback the alarm and was his adolescent adventuresome adolescent cocky but it was a absolute mix of abnegation and aggression. There was not a individual attempt that looked chancy and yet he played all the shots, even a absorbed six, a attempt that he doesn't play too generally these days. Tendulkar faced just 20 assurance in the aboriginal ten overs but had raced abroad to 35 and his fifty came off 33 balls. Yet there was not one berserk shot. It was in the eighth over, from Morkel, that he absolutely got traveling with an alarming adduce through the covers, which was followed by a attractive beeline drive. Like always, he captivated his affectation even as Morkel was down on the mat. It was a moment that altogether bent the biased battle.

    When Steyn accursed a bouncer in the 10th over, Tendulkar connected a beautiful angle to drop it above the astern square-leg boundary. If Jacques Kallis bowled a slower one, Tendulkar glided advanced and beyond to whip the off cutter accomplished mid-on. Unlike Sehwag, Tendulkar played the spinners as per the demands of the brawl but of advance on his own terms. He went down the clue to attic over long-on, he collection straight, he played chaotic with the about-face and as always, formed the angles.

    Sehwag's aperture advance was a apple of his batsmanship: adventurous hits, a few beat and misses, an close action to ascendancy his adrenalin rush, and again some added audacity. The aboriginal brawl set the tone: it was an outswinger from Steyn that arced abroad from the off and average band but Sehwag swatted it up and over mid-on for a four. He should accept been out in the next over if Morne Morkel induced an bend from an on-the-up flash, but Morne Van Wyk, the keeper, artlessly froze. A accomplished on-the-up adduce through the covers, a agreeable beeline drive and a clap cut helped him aggregate 13 runs from the eigtht over bowled by Morkel.

    Curiously, for a batsman who thrives on innovation, he got ashore into a set arrangement adjoin the spinners and it brought about his downfall. He again backed abroad from leg butt and approved to hit aggregate through off. He did aces up a brace of boundaries, but fell binding an attempted cut on to the leg butt adjoin Faf du Plessis.

    Even as the aggression continued, you were larboard apprehensive whether Graeme Smith could accept done annihilation different. Perhaps, he could accept brought in the spinners beforehand - Robin Petersen came on in the 12th over with India on 93 for 0. Perhaps he could accept angry to Johan Botha eventually rather than cat-and-mouse until the 17th over. Curiously, he autonomous for JP Duminy advanced of Botha, but already Botha came in, the run-rate started to affluence up and slowed down added as India went into alliance approach afterwards the abatement of Sehwag. India added 37 runs in nine overs as they went from 137 for 0 in 16 overs to 174 by the 25th over. India circumscribed through Tendulkar and Gambhir but came abolition down if they took that Powerplay.
