Kotla- Day 5 –Indian vs. Australia

Will Australia win?

No one would have expected such a turn around and no other cricket team barring India, would be fighting to save a match after scoring a mammoth 600 odd runs in the first innings.

So inept were they that India has to play throughout the final day in order to save the match. Australia patiently chipped away at the Indian score and fell just 36 runs short. By playing patiently, Australia not only got as close as they can to India total but also ate up enough time. This has ensured that they will not loose the match.

Alternatively, by grabbing the wickets of Sehwag and Ishant Sharma, they have forced India into a position where India has to play well on the final day to stave away defeat.

For those familiar with fifth day Indian batting collapse the prospect of defeat is real.

Stanford Twenty20 for 20 million

As I write, the Stanford Superstars are cruising to victory over England. They are 79/0 in 9.2 over’s needing 21 more runs in 10 over’s to overhaul England’s 99 runs.

Guess the prize money was too much for England.
