vvvslaxman Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 :hehe: 13 needed from the last over, and Peterson is on strike. Nehra to bowl, Zaheer runs across to offer him some advice. The crowd is chanting, great atmosphere out there, electric stuff. Another break as the batsman have a chat. 49.1 Nehra to Peterson, FOUR, 75.8 mph, huge swipe, Peterson was aiming for the stratosphere there but a thick inside edge shot past the stumps and Dhoni and down to fine leg. That's so unlucky for the bowler! 49.2 Nehra to Peterson, SIX, 81.4 mph, six runs! Peterson was walloped the leather off this one, sending the ball sailing over cow corner. His team-mates are whooping and cheering in the changing room! 49.3 Nehra to Peterson, 2 runs, inswinging yorker in the blockhole! But he jams down on it, the ball rolls down to fine leg and they push really hard for the second ... scores level! Direct hit but Peterson slides home in time The field comes up 49.4 Nehra to Peterson, FOUR, 84.3 mph, there's the game! Peterson steps away and slams it through the covers, roaring with delight as the ball threads the gap and races away
Sehwag1830 Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 Nehra saved us also in 1. 349 game in 2004 in Pak 2. 414 runs in Rajkot vs SL.

Ravi. Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 It can happen to anyone. Even Steyn was struggling today.
vvvslaxman Posted April 17, 2012 Author Posted April 17, 2012 It can happen to anyone. Even Steyn was struggling today. But today Nehra was in far better situation to win it. ABDV was relatively new. Tiwary was slogging until then without much success. Should have bowled better. ABDV was also giving out what he was going to do. Nehra couldn't make the adjustment.
NareshK Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 When Nehra was about to bowl the last over, I knew it was trouble for Pune because he always looks shaky at the death. But 24 runs in last over ? I'm sorry but that's pathetic stuff.

Dravid_TheWall Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 He is still one of our better LOI bowlers. It was a bad day that is all. He takes wickets on merit, look how he dismissed gayle on this very day. He is normally tightish and takes wickets against run of play. Sign of a good bowler.
The Realist Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 Seriously what is Nehra still doing playing. Passed his sell-by-date a few years ago. A liability in the field, can't bat and now a poor bowler yet an IPL team signs him up :facepalm:
vvvslaxman Posted April 17, 2012 Author Posted April 17, 2012 3 sixes in the last over still too much.
msb1991 Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 Look at the deliveries he bowled, they were not bad balls. It could have happened to any bowler on the planet who could not land the yorker correctly in a given over - which is most bowlers!

Just because BCCI didn't offer him a central contract doesn't make him a bad player. He is better than the likes of PK, VK, Mithun in limited overs. His record is comparable with Zak in these formats.

Worldcup final already forgotten? IMO bcci treated him unfairly by not selecting him immed after stellar show in WC. Thats ungrateful!
rkt.india Posted April 18, 2012 Posted April 18, 2012 Styen lost matches from similar positions in CLT20.
Needforspeed Posted April 18, 2012 Posted April 18, 2012 Dont forget his World Cup Semi Final bowling against Pakistan. That was a match-winning performance.
vvvslaxman Posted April 18, 2012 Author Posted April 18, 2012 :hysterical: could it get anymore suggestive
