ind-aus 2nd test match

hurrah for india.Realy, this match was not so thrilling,but you can say that any team could have one even in the last couple of hours of the game.Sachin,what a player,what a guy and what a master.A double ton in the first innings and a well played 50 runs in the second innings realy helped india win.Vijay was at his best scoring a ton in the first innings.Some good cameos by Sehwack[sehwag],Raina and Mahi[dhoni]helped india to get to a lead.In the second innings, Pujara,the debutant played a cracker and without him,we would not have been very comfortable.

DAY 2:Paine was a pain for india as he scored 92 and helped oz to get to a good total of 428.Zaheer got 5 wickets for the tenth time.Batsmen virender sehwag and
Gautam gambhir came in made a big 70+ partnership.Sehwag played a cracker scoring 59 of 54.Gambhir went early for 25.

Day 3:It was a terrific performance by Rahul Dravid,mastero Sachin Tendulkar and Suresh Raina.All getting 75+ scores but unfortuneately no one got to a hundred, Sachin tried his best to get 98 runs.India were bold out for 405.

Day 4:After big stuff from watson,Australia were bold out for 192.India lost 4 wickets in no time which gave australia a chance.

DAY 5:India were never on track.It was eight down and a stunning partnership by ishant and VVS Laxman Helped India to get victory.

Hello guys,it's been a while since we have talked.Not much things are going right for India .They did to get to super 8.FRom then on,India were completely in the loosing streak,they lost all 3 matches they played.Hey, before we go so far let's talk about IPL.Yes favorites were the Mumbai Indians.But chennai did very well to go on and win the final.At first MI took 4 quick wickets to put Chennai in big big troble!Then a partnership from MS and Raina put chennai on track.After MS departed Raina went on to score a quick fifty.This helped CSK get to a good total.MI didn't realy bat so well.The little master scored a yet another half a ton but it was not enough for MI to win the big final.
Now let's come back to 20 over format(international).Raina was the pick of the batsman for India in the world cup.He scored a ton and a half ton.Rohit Sharma was the only other batter who scored a half century.Now forget about that.There is a another tri series coming up.As India take on Zimbabwe and Sri lanka.It starts on May 28.India cannot depend on their seneiors this time as there is no gambhir,mahi,viru,yuvi,Zack,nehra,or bhajji.Raina will captin India along with his assistant Virat Kohli,I wish good luck to all three teams as I support India.See you guys.hey and a secret of mine I am only 11 years old.Thanks for reading

Hello guys, how do you do?Long time no see ,right?So many things have happen from the time we left.Of course India won a test match against SA.This helped them level the series.The contributers for India were Virender sehwag playing well again.SRT reaching yet another century.MS DHONI the captin playing in a superb way as well as very very special Laxman(both hitting tons).In bowling,the great Harbhajan Singh took a 5 for and A Mishra taking 3 wickets and Ishant taking 2 crucial wickets.Take a look at this:


South Africa 1st innings R M B 4s 6s SR
GC Smith* b Khan 4 13 12 1 0 33.33
2.6 136.6 kph, What a beauty! The off stump has gone for a walk. It pitched outside off stump and cut in sharply, Smith leaned forward to defend but the ball rushed in through the bat and pad gap to crash into the off stump. Clatter! Zak wins yet another mini-battle with Graeme. 9/1

52.4 132.7 kph, Petersen falls, but only after he secured his special hundred on debut. It was a full-length delivery that landed outside off stump, Petersen went for the drive and got a thick fat edge. He has done his job, though. Enter Jacques Kallis. 218/2

56.4 124.0 kph, Ishant's bumper barrage didn't result in a wicket but Zaheer gets Amla's wicket a short delivery. The left-hander's angle took it away from Amla who went for the pull shot, trying to fetch it from outside off stump, but could only edge it behind. A fine innings filled with delightful drives comes to an end 229/3

65.1 84.7 kph, The crowd roar as Harbhajan takes out Kallis with a topspinner. Now then .. It's a flighted delivery outside off stump and Kallis goes for the big slog sweep but edges it toward short fine-leg region. Laxman runs back from the first slip to take a good catch.. tumbling down after he stretched his hands out to take the ball falling from behind his shoulder. 251/4

68.3 Sharma to Steyn, AB is run out! What a dramatic final session of play. What a turn around. Thrilling spine-tingling stuff. You can guess the crowd's reaction. R O A R. Indians are in a huddle of joy. The shortish delivery was pushed towards short mid-off region .. confusion between the two batsmen .. .AB is out almost middle of the track .. Zaheer runs after the ball, picks it up,. turns and let the ball rip .. whirrrr .... the ball crashes into the non-striker's end and AB dives but falls just short of the crease. ..Gone! 254/7

It landed on the off stump line, from round the stumps, moved in to hit the pad right in front of middle. Dead duck! Prince was pushing outside the line, playing for the turn. 253/5

Again, it drifted in from round the stumps with the angle and the topspinner went on straight to hit the pad... again another left-hander caught pushing outside the line. Harbhajan knew instantly that he had his man and he leads the crowd with a celebratory run of joy followed by his team-mates. The crowd have gone wild. Eden Gardens is quite a spectacle in these moments. No other ground in India quite matches its intensity in these dramatic moments. 253/6

Steyn pushed forward to defend and got an edge. He has to go, though. It did look pretty adjacent Live but replays show that there was an edge. Steyn shook his head in disappointment as he walked away .. 261/9

IT was a short of length delivery outside off stump and Harris edges the intended drive to Dhoni. Eight down and tottering after tea break. What a stunning change of events. 255/8

Kallis was leaning forward to defend and he pushed outside the line trying to cover for the leg break but it spun more than he thought it would and kissed the outside edge. What a big wicket. Huge blow this. Just when the two were looking settled, Mishra has struck.

77.6 85.2 kph, Harbhajan moves to round the stumps and strikes immediately. It drifted in, landed on middle and turned in to hit the pad in front of middle stump line. It would have crashed into middle. Steyn played all around it. 180/7

It was a length delivery that straightened outside off stump, Harris pushed out at it and got a thick edge which has been swallowed by Dinesh karthik at third slip. What buzz around this great historical venue. More big Test matches needs to be played here. In the here and now, India stand just a wicket away from the No 1 ranking. Amla looks forlorn out there. What an innings he has played. 264/9

131.3 Eden Gardens has gone mad as Harbhajan Singh, the man under immense pressure after a lackluster performance in Nagpur, does it for India in his favorite Eden. Hashim Amla is devastated. What a moment this. Trapped in front. Eden Gardens has gone wild. They are screaming their heads off. It landed on the middle stump line and just about straightened, Morne pushed slightly outside the line, and the ball hit the pad in front of middle ..middle and leg. It would have hit the leg and middle stump. Gone! The fatal finger goes up! India remain no 1. Harbhajan leads the celebratory run to nowhere. He screams and screams as he looks at the crowd and is mobbed by his team-mates. The Indians quickly break away to run and congratulate Amla on an outstanding innings. They couldn't get him out at all but they have taken out the rest. It will go down as one of the most memorable games played on this hallowed venue.

The appeal was typically Indian. Harbhajan was back--pedaling even as he shouted out an huge appeal. Every close-in fielder jumped up to scream and everyone in the crowd were obviously appealing. The umpire Steve Davis thought about it for a moment before ruling it, correctly, out. As the finger moved, Harbhajan turned and dashed for his run. And the crowd began their typical R O A R. 290/10

x Harbhajan Singh 48.3 23 59 5 1.21
17.2 to Petersen, 79.5 kph, A typical Harbhajan dismissal. Bat and pad to short-leg. It drifted across, turned in from the off stump line, collided with the inside-edge, bounded off the pad and flew to right of short-leg where Badrinath jumps, stretches his right hand above head-high towards his right, pops up the ball and takes the rebound. Petersen turns around and walks away immediately. 54/2


61.4 to Prince, 80.6 kph, Done in by the flight. Harbhajan suddenly shifted the line to outside off and also tossed it up higher and slower and applied some over-spin. it looped and dipped outside off. Prince seemed lured to his demise as he sort of stabbed it across the line, checked his drive and the ball ballooned to mid-off. India break through. 158/4


73.6 to Duminy, 89.6 kph, What a wonderful piece of bowling. Harbhajan slides this one in, from just outside off stump, Duminy goes back, plays for the turn but there isn't any and it looked pretty ugly when it struck him around the off stump. The finger goes up and another South African batsman leaves Amla alone in the middle 172/6


77.6 to Steyn, 85.2 kph, Harbhajan moves to round the stumps and strikes immediately. It drifted in, landed on middle and turned in to hit the pad in front of middle stump line. It would have crashed into middle. Steyn played all around it. 180/7

12.1 to Smith, 77.2 kph, Trapped in front. Mishra takes out the big wicket of Smith in his first delivery and boy... is he mobbed by his team-mates or what. It landed on the off stump line, turned in, Smith tried to play it with the turn but played all around it and was struck in front of middle and off. It would have spun into middle and leg stump. Gone! Huge wicket this. Eden Gardens erupts. 36/1


33.2 to Kallis, 80.4 kph, What a fine leg break. Probably Mishra's best delivery in this series. It was released with the scrambled seam, curved in to the middle and off stump line and broke away sharply. Kallis was leaning forward to defend and he pushed outside the line trying to cover for the leg break but it spun more than he thought it would and kissed the outside edge. What a big wicket. Huge blow this. Just when the two were looking settled, Mishra has struck. It wasn't a huge-turning leg break in the conventional sense of the word but it did just about enough to take the edge 111/3


68.1 to de Villiers, 78.2 kph, Dead plumb. Mishyyyyy! AB didn't pick the googly. It turned in from the off and middle line and broke back in. AB pushed outside the line and to his horror the ball turned in to catch him right in front of the middle. Gone! Amla stands alone. South Africa are wobbling here in Eden 164/5

hello guys, so many things have happen since we spoke last time.India won the series against Sri Lanka.What a cracking 1st ODI it was.It was realy a blinder of an innings from Virender Sehwag [146 from 102 balls].Sachin Ton-dulkar did not hit a ton but gave support to virender sehwag in his well-played 69 of 61 balls.Then came Dhoni [the capt. of Ind.] who was another man to give suppport to Viru and he did well in that important job of his.Jadeja,Kohli made some 30 important runs each to help India to get to a double-mammoth 414-7.This was Indias highest score in One dayers.The previous best was 411-4 against Bermuda.

score board:

Sri Lanka in India ODI Series - 1st ODI

India v Sri Lanka

India won by 3 runs
ODI no. 2932 | 2009/10 season
Played at Madhavrao Scindia Cricket Ground, Rajkot
15 December 2009 (50-over match)

India innings (50 overs maximum) R M B 4s 6s SR
V Sehwag c Dilshan b Welegedara 146 166 102 17 6 143.13
35.3 Sehwag has missed the 150, moves across the stumps, looks to go over the leg side, but turns the bat face too early, gets the back of the bat, and it lobs to point. Many milestones missed, but does he care much for them? Well played Viru. He raises his bat as he walks off 309/2

SR Tendulkar b Fernando 69 91 63 10 1 109.52
19.3 bowled him, Tendulkar has been bowled through the gate. Looks to run to third man a back-of-a-length delivery, but it jags back enough to beat the bat and take the top of off. Well bowled Dilhara, follows up two attempts at yorkers with a nice fast delivery short of length and cutting in 153/1

MS Dhoni*† c Mathews b Fernando 72 78 53 7 3 135.84
36.1 slower ball does it again, and the batting Powerplay has done it again for the fielding side. This slower delivery seemed fairly obvious from behind, but that;s not the case when you are batting, and Dhoni is drawn into a forward shot and is too late in taking the bottom hand off, the ball lobs to cover, and Sri Lanka now have a chance to save many records from falling 311/3

SK Raina c Jayasuriya b Kulasekara 16 33 20 2 0 80.00
42.1 a bouncer gets Raina again, well directed, into his body, chest high, Raina's weight is forward while pulling, and gets a top edge that goes nowhere but straight up towards the sky 347/5

G Gambhir c †Sangakkara b Kulasekara 11 11 8 1 0 137.50
38.3 and he comes back with a good delivery, just inches short of being a yorker, outside off, Gambhir looks to get it fine of third man, and edges it through to Sanga and walks 325/4

Harbhajan Singh c Kulasekara b Mathews 11 22 13 1 0 84.61
43.1 another wicket goes, Mathews gets his man, Harbhajan looks to hit a short ball over point and gets the toe end of the bat and it carries straight to third man where Kula takes a safe catch 352/6

V Kohli b Welegedara 27 20 19 4 0 142.10
47.2 bowled him, a touch slower, 127ks, he is looking to hit this length delivery across the line and over midwicket, misses and is gone 386/7

39.1 he has bowled him, he roars in delight, another double hundred missed, but Harbhajan has brought India right back in. He has just started his last over, Dilshan charges out, is beaten by the dip, the ball pitches on a length outside off, turns in enough to hit the stumps. Game on here 339/4

36.3 PK creates a third opportunity and finally someone holds onto it. Another slower bouncer, Sanga gets a top edge on the pull and Jadeja holds on to a simple catch at deep square leg. PK exults, it's been a tough day full of misfortune for him. But Sanga, take a bow, what an innings 316/2

ST Jayasuriya st †Dhoni b Harbhajan Singh 5 7 4 0 0 125.00
37.3 and Jaya goes, charges down too early, Harbhajan bowls flatter, shorter, and it's a normal offbreak. He is clearly beaten in the flight, looks to fend but can't cover the line and the ball sneaks through bat and pad, and Dhoni finishes the stumping efficiently 328/3

DPMD Jayawardene run out (Kohli/†Dhoni) 3 14 8 0 0 37.50
40.2 from Jadeja, MJ has committed suicide here, MJ works it towards square leg with soft hands and makes up his mind he is coming back for two. Kohli hares around from deep midwicket and surprises everybody with his speed. Even though the throw is two bounces to Dhoni, even a dive can't save MJ 345/5

SHT Kandamby run out (Tendulkar/Khan) 24 47 25 2 0 96.00
48.2 from Khan, have they got a run-out here? superb collection on a half-volley from Zaheer and Kandamby is gone. It is a short ball, pulled to Tendulkar at midwicket, he is already on the back foot and comes through for one. The lands in front of the stumps but on a half-volley, Zaheer collects cleanly and disturbs the stumps, with Kandamby running casually - not diving, not sliding the bat. Did somebody say Ranatunga? 401/6

AD Mathews c Tendulkar b Nehra 38 50 33 2 0 115.15
49.4 and Tendulkar has held onto the most important catch of the match. The first hittable delivery of the over, a low fulltoss, Mathews gets under it, but doesn't get enough elevation and Tendulkar holds on to a simple catch at midwicket. Crowd goes wild, SL dressing room is stunned 409/8

TT Samaraweera run out (Raina/Kumar) 0 4 1 0 0 0.00
48.6 from Khan, and he finishes with another yorker and another run-out and what's more, the new batsman will be on strike. Samaraweere manages to dig out the yorker, but it's hit straight to Raina at extra cover, Zaheer is back to collect the throw, which is on the top of the stumps, and another wicket goes down 404/7
