Praveen Kumar403809.50133310
Zaheer Khan403819.5083200
5.2 to SC Ganguly, edged and gone! Zaheer gets the breakthrough after a poor first over, pitching on a good length and drawing a loose drive from Ganguly, and the thick outside-edge is snapped up by Kallis at a wide lone slip, above his head .. a very sharp take. 61/1
Ashley Noffke4040110.0072210
17.1 to DJ Hussey, and he strikes! Hussey goes for a big hit, slashing the ball up in the air and the spiraling top-edge is well held by White, running backward from point. 172/3
Jacques Kallis4048112.0095310
12.1 to RT Ponting, gone! Ponting tries to go downtown, but instead mistimes it up into the starry night and Praveen sits under it at mid-off to send him on his way. 112/2

BOWLINGOMRWECON0s4s6sWDNB
Ashok Dinda30923.00110020
2.2 to V Kohli, drags it on! Kohli fails on IPL debut, playing a pull from outside off only to chop the ball onto his stumps, and doesn't young Dinda love it?. 9/2
5.2 to W Jaffer, edged and taken! Dinda strikes again, getting Jaffer chasing another wide one only to hand first slip a neat catch. 24/4
Ishant Sharma30712.33130010
1.1 to R Dravid, and what a start for him! Full on the mark, Dravid heaves at it and misses and the ball hits the base of middle and off, handing Kolkata and excellent beginning. 4/1
Ajit Agarkar402536.25152140
4.5 to JH Kallis, and he goes next ball, just pulling the ball to mid-on for an easy catch. 24/3
8.2 to B Akhil, nothing but slip catching practice! Just comes forward, then opens the face to present Ponting with one into his lap at slip... my old coach from high school used to hand us those kinds of dollies off the face of the bat. 38/6
8.6 to CL White, they're falling like ninepins! White is beaten on the drive, inching forward to try and cream the cover off it but instead gets the thinnest of edges through to Saha, who gleefully accepts. 43/7
Sourav Ganguly402125.25131110
7.5 to MV Boucher, another one bites the dust, as Boucher looks towards midwicket and slogs this one up in the air down towards deep cover-point, where Kartik runs in with his eyes trained on the ball and cups it low in front of him. 38/5
13.1 to Z Khan, cleaned up, Zaheer missing the line completely for off stump to be pegged back and Ganguly runs off in celebration and Ponting runs towards him and the two embrace ... now thats a sight, eh?. 70/9
Laxmi Shukla1.1012110.2830120
15.1 to SB Joshi, all over, and what a mismatch! Joshi mistimes a pull to wide long-off and Kolkata win by 140 runs!. 82/10
