If Yuvraj stays till the end, the cup is ours. I hope others can get us close to the target.

One of these two has to take an anchor role.

That issue was settled in the initial few pages onlee. Census among gurus, after the initial reaction, was that there was no cheating.

Man now I have to search for those pages. I thought it was cheating. How could he not know what he called? But I guess that will be cleared in those pages. Thanks.

Good job guys. Come on, keep playing sensibly. No dangerous shots required, ground shots for 2s and a 5RR should be very good. Another 80 odd runs from these two will be darn good.

Good over guys. Keep it going just 80 more runs. Break the target to smaller numbers now. Do not look at 275. baad mein jaye. Your target is not to lose a wicket for another 80 runs.

fortify yourself slowly and steadily, ball by ball take singles doubles play cool tensun mat le.

They are many times better than Manjarekar though. He was ecstatic at Sachin's wicket.

Kulasekara to Gambhir, FOUR!!, Gambhir gets to 4000 ODI runs - the 11th Indian to do so. That shot would have done Sourav Ganguly who is on air at the moment proud, Dada used to do that even in his dream, his pupil, Gambhir too does the same. Backs away and thrashes the ball on a bent knee over cover, sweeper cover had not a chance, silken, graceful and wonderful

Gauti gambhir se khelo.
good work so far.

krisna · Post by **krisna** » 02 Apr 2011 19:40

Perera to Gambhir, wide, Sanga has started off, trying to distract the umpires into not giving a wide, it's nothing more than that as he appeals for a caught behind, but two of the World's best umpires are in tonight and they won't be conned so easily, down leg, although it was close to the glove, wide called @ 131.62 kmph

RR of 5 is good. We need to keep wicket and roll like this at 4 or 5 an over.

I think there is something fishy, desi commentators are so harsh against India and soft on SL. Is it anti-jinx? Or Athi devo bavah? Why is Gavaskar so pissed off at SL's fielding. He is not criticizing, but whining.

Not many people now, they must be chewing their nails or reading Astrix comics.
