just short of length ball, played back by the batsman to long on for a single
India A vs Australia A, at Hyderabad, Sep 16 2008 - Match Result
It's raining quite heavily. The players have gone off.
4.15pm: And we're back, but only to tell you that the umpires, using the 'D/L method', have declared Australia as the winners of this match by 86 runs
Like Australia did today, India will need to raise their game by many a notch to put it across New Zealand tomorrow. Join us at 8.45am for the toss and the match commentary. For now, it's adios from Sid R and myself. Thank you and have yourselves a good evening.
good ball on the off stump, holds it line, batsman playing for the turn gets an outside edge that runs to short third man. Scamper through for runs. There's a loud appeal for a run out as the batsmen are completing the third run. Not given
good length ball, played back to the bowler who fields and starts hobbling
full ball on the off stump, played away to gully
length ball, just outside off, hoicked towards midwicket, catch is the cry, three fielders get under it but Badrinath can't hang on to it
driven back to the bowler
fullish, on off, takes the outside edge and runs away to the third man boundary
on leg stump this time, worked to square leg
fullish, driven down to mid-on
very wide, Ronchi reaches for it and pushes it to point
that's his hundred, spectacular one too. Smashed to long-on, Ravi Teja just about managed to get his hands on it just inside the boundary, but overbalanced and went out of the field of play. He tried to toss it back into the ground before stepping across the rope but couldn't quite manage to do what Phil Hughes did yesterday
a googly, Ronchi doesn't pick it, gets an inside-edge to the leg side
Ronchi has raced along into the nineties
flighted, overpitched ball on middle and leg, played back to the bowler
played down to mid-on for a single
on middle and leg, length ball, turned away fine on the leg side, Robin Uthappa does some good work on the boundary, deemed to be a four though he looked to have saved it
came onto the front foot and flicked it over the infield, batsmen come back for two, there is a run-out appeal, third umpire is called for but Ronchi is well in
and down the ground by Ronchi again, not particularly well timed but enough to take it to the fence
Hussey tries to work it to leg, gets the outside edge and flies to the off
defended off the back foot to the bowler
Ronchi steps out, and strikes it firmly back past the bowler
