Favorite Moments 1st CB Final


Recommended Posts

Kumar getting Gilly caught seconds after i had finished ranting on the phone to a friend about the folly of picking a "donkey-paced trundler" for a crunch game (and five bowlers!). :embaressed_smile: Kumar to Ponting, pull shot, bowled. Clarke the pup's face as he was walking back hearing it from the injuns. Chawla's catch to dismiss hayden - under-rated. Harbhajan and Yuvraj's "boxing" after Hayden's wicket :hysterical: Tendy's 2nd boundary of his innings - picture perfect square drive that threads the gap, tendy strolls a couple of steps down the steps while admiring his shot. Don't bother running for that one. Tendy slaps Hogg over cover for 4. Rohit Sharma's straight drive for 4 as soon as he comes to the crease. immaculate. Another straight drive from Rohit, even better this time. Tendy's 1st glide over gilchrist and "hadyos" off Johnson. Tendy's 2nd glide over gilchrist and slip. Sharma welcomes Hopes back with an imperious 1st ball 4 over mid-on. class. Long-off brought in, hogg to sharma, inside-out over mid-off. 4. Sharma greets Bracken back into the attack with a 4 slapped through mid-wicket. 2 Oz fielders give up the chase long before the ball crosses the boundary rope. First time in ages, does Dhoni come in to bat without needing to perform the "rescue" act. Johnson gets the 'gadaa' treatment through the off-side - twice in 2 balls. :yay::yay:

Brightest moment for India's future: Tendulkar guiding Rohit through that partnership and run chase, working the bowlers over and talking to the kid every few minutes and helping him settle. And then Rohit returning the favour - once Sachin began to cramp up and also struggle towards the hundred milestone, Rohit began to go over the top, amping up his scoring rate to keep the pressure off Sachin. Such a brilliant partnership.

truly an excellent partnership :) and that was the moment of the series for me: Shadowboxing! :finger: Wat was it that Ponting was saying? : "Ya, they are not naturally aggressive. Let's see how long they keep it up" and promptly got smooched aggressively. Man, gotta love the aussies for providing this much entertainment :cantstop:
