Bombay-bred nerves of steel


Mr. Wicket

Walked in at 33/3 in a must-win game. Ground it out at first against some excellent pace bowling on a juiced up pitch, then exploded to end with 50 off 40, following up with running out South Africa's biggest hitter. Today, came in after two quick wickets - of our best/in-form batsman and then captain - with Umar Gul bowling well, the run rate restricted and India looking as if they might not have enough on the board. Finished with 30 in 16 balls, a vital cameo at the end that just pushed the total to a level that proved too much for Pakistan. I'm willing to bet that a few years from now, this tournament will be remembered not just for the win but for the emergence of one of the finest batsmen of the next cricketing generation.
