5TH November,It was the 5th ODI for India and Australia which happened at Hyderbad.Now imagine the Australian hulks on southern Indian Soil,, but they got lucky as Australian team was seen winning the toss and electing to bat rather than bowl first. Well, all for good pitch, since the match is to be a day-night one, and with good batting pitch naturally it was a smart choice and came as no surprise when Australia decided to lead with batting.
As per the last updates, 34.4 overs have been completed and Australia is playing at 199 runs with just one wicket lost in the form of Shane Watson. Shaun Marsh is batting at 76 from 88 balls and Ponting is measuring up with 26 runs for 32 balls.Impressive!….Indians are so ..timid should i say, even with such a league…… India has already given out extras in the form of 2 wides and 1 lb and 1 nb.This was no time for errors, Indian team needs to gear up. The run rate for the Australian team is currently at 5.74.Which is actually unbeatable isn’t it guys? Shane Watson had to leave for the pavilion when he was bowled by Harbhajan and caught out by Jadeja in the 25th over. Having made 93 runs, it had become very significant for India to get that wicket.
Well just going to give you some out of context news……..but thats the way I am…….on the local cricketing scenario, Laxmi Ratan Shukla will move out from captain position,since there is a hurdle for the chief place. Is that really old news guys? Nahh, well I heard that on the news, and it’s hardly that you’ll catch me watching News, with all those blissful, creative advertisements.Come to think of it, there are a sordid amount of those commercials between cricket hmm?
Amis the Indian bowlers, Praveen Kumar has bowled just 4 overs, scoring 23 runs and Ashish Nehra contributed 37 runs in 6 overs. The biggest run-giver till now has been Munaf Patel, who has given out 44 runs in 6 overs. None of them, except Harbhajan Singh has bowled a maiden over as of yet.
Both India and Australia are in the game with 2 wins each. This game will be a deciding factor, because if India looses it will be very hard to come back in the next two matches. It was unfortunate, that the 4th ODI saw a wrong decision sending off Tendulkar who was 7 runs away from completing 17000 runs of his career. This man is unbeatable…right? Indian team has its regular Tendulkar, Sehwag, Gambhir, Yuvraj, Dhoni and Raina playing. The Australian team has Watson, Marsh, Ponting, Hussey, Mckay along with others. It’s like David and Golaith……isn’t it……?
Well if we cannot match their height we sure can give some mind-boggling,, or sizzzzling shud I say, mind-sizzling CONSISTENCY on the pitch. We have loads of that in our legend Sachin.Hey why does everything finish on Sachin?Well it’s all about Taurean reliability thats why!
