full, driven to long-on for one
Rest of Ind vs Mumbai, at Mumbai, Feb 06 2013 - Ball by Ball Commentary
That's it then. The last first-class match of the Indian domestic season. Not much to take home from here. Dispiriting is the word. Thanks for sitting through it, though. Cheers
Presentation
"We have done well with this side," says Abhishek Nayar. "This was just a one-off game where we didn't deliver the goods. A lot of youngsters have come in and put their hand up. We can take a lot of positives from this season. Adity tare. Hiken Shah. Shardul and Javed Shah. KP as well. I am happy with the way I have gone, I am happy I have been of use to the team."
"Definitely very happy," says Harbhajan Singh. "Relieved at getting selected. This was a big match. I bowled really well. And got the opportunity to pay against Australia, my favourite team. Looking at this wicket, pretty flat... [we didn't declare]. We are too small to talk about Tendulkar. Good to see hims core the runs, hopefully he will do the same against Australia"
Suresh Raina is the Man of the Match, but we don't get to hear from it
3.23 The umpires have told ROI the over-rate has now been corrected. Everything has been brushed under the carpet. Nothing to report from this match. Everybody is happy. Handshakes all around. Rest of India have won the Irani Cup, which we have known since last morning because neither side has tried to disturb that state of affairs since then. Wait for the presentation
defended off the back foot
That over-rate correction is why we are going on
defended to cover
short of a length, into the pads, worked to leg
full, on the pads, played to long-on
Full and complete mockery
short of a length, defended
This is just wrong. Plain wrong. Harbhajan is getting his spinners to bowl over after over so he can make up for the first-innings over-rate. Vijay to bowl
drives this to cover
short of a length, outside leg, defended
flighted outside off, left alone
on a length, on off, defended
full, middle and leg, defended
flat, on the pads, the crowd will rise as he clips this away for a quiet single to bring up yet another hundred. On a day that he has been overlooked for India selection
This has to be the last over of the match
kicks this one away to end the over
full, turns away, takes the edge, but falls short of a slip
he bowls the legbreak now. Chavan chuckles too as he defends
length ball outside off, defended to cover
dharma: "On which basis Ashoke Dinda got selected to the team against aussies?? instead Sreesanth is the best option than him...Most expensive bowler in ODI's against England"
pushed to mid-off
Ruchit V: "If I was Jaffer, I woould like to play till the end of the day!"
full and wide, left alone
3.16pm Mandatory overs bring. Rest of India want to forego the customary drinks that arrive at the start of mandatory overs. Common sense prevails
worked to leg for a single
pitched outside leg, he lets it hit the pad. So we will have to play another over
