What a come back


Hi!
On 26th there was a match between India and New Zealand.Stephen Fleming(New Zealand captain)won the toss and elected to bat first.India started well and got Loe Vincent,the star of the last game out at 4.The seemers were able to swing the ball and as a result New Zealand was in a bad situation and were only 36-5 aftaer 12.1 overs with Vincent,Fleming,Astle,Marshall and Styris out.Then Mc Millan and Oram were looking good as they helped New Zealand to reach 127 after 28 overs.But then there was a mix up with the batsmen and Oram got runout after making 36.Just one over after Oram's departure Mc Millan also departed when he was caught by Pathan on a ball by Agarkar.New Zealand were 130-7.However,they managed to reach a respectable score of 215.
It seemed that it was India's game before Bond got Ganguly,Sehwag, Venugopal Rao and unfortunately Sir Dravid out.India was 39-6.Then Dhoni and Agarkar also went back to the dressing room for 2 runs each on balls by Adams.It was a nightmare for India as they were 44-8.Then Pathan and Yadav made a partnership of 118 runs.Both of them scored half-centuries.Then Pathan touched a wide ball by Bond and was caught behind.He departed after making 50 runs.Soon after Venugopal also got out at 69 on a ball by Oram.India was all out at 164.New Zealand won the match by 51 runs.Shane Bond was named the man of the match for his brilliant bowling performance.His Bowling figures were 6-19 after 9 overs that he bowled.

Dear Harsh,

Nice summary yet again.

If not for the batting effort by the new comer in Indian team, the score would have been miserable. Makes me wonder if Indian team requires a major shuffling to bring in more new talent.
