slower delivery, the batsman has no option but to throw his bat, he top-edges it and is caught at long-on
India Blue vs India Red, at Indore, Sep 27 2013 - Ball by Ball Commentary
Well thanks for all the comments and feedback, we'll be back tomorrow to see what Sehwag and Kohli have in store against Umesh Yadav and Co. Have a good evening. Ciao ciao.
Vinay Kumar saves the day or Vinay Kumar almost gives it away! Depends on what way you look at it. But Blues have won - the margin is not too big after scoring that mammoth score - but they have won, and they are now in the final. The batting has been exhilarating in the match. Yuvraj and Nayar made hay during the first innings during an assault that just happened to be the difference. But this is India, the bowling makes sure no target is ever safe. They do it at the international stage, and they do the same at the national stage. Bhuvneshwar, Umesh, Vinay, bowlers who should be controlling these overs, end up being the culprits. Full marks to the Reds lower order - Jadhav, Jaggi, Nadeem, Umesh - for taking the fight till the end.
Satz: "This very much sums up the standards of our international bowlers! And we can't scream that our heroes are back to form on hitting these bowlers. But one thing is so sure that Yusuf is no good a player for even Challengers trophy."
Two sixes, that's all Nadeem needs to hit
Satyak69: "India red would have already won the match, if they had controlled their extras, that is the only difference."
full delivery on the stumps, the batsman can only hit it as far as long on..just the single
And now Patel is walking out.. Wake up people, this is not over yet!! Ok, 13 off 3!!!
he gets over ambitious, goes across the stumps and tries to flick it fine, but it's quick, it's full and it hits the base of the middle stump
This is atrocious bowling!! And these are our international bowlers!
he comes round the stumps and bowls it full, but Umesh has made room and slices it through point..
bowls a length delivery and Umesh has sent this to the second tier over cow corner!!! Whoa!! Is there one final twist here? Can he do what Nehra couldn't?
Umesh on strike, last over, 23 runs
slower delivery, the batsman makes room and slashes it through extra cover. Bhuvi is leaking here, appalling bowling
he tries to swing across the line, but bottom edges it to the keeper
this one has been slapped towards long-on and Piyush catches it this time, but it was a waist high full-toss, called a no ball
another slower delivery, Umesh has enough time to play it like a spinner's long hop, it's launched over midwicket for six
slower delivery, the batsman slaps it towards long on where Piyush Chawla runs in, dives forwards and rolls, but can't hold on to that catch
John Paul: ""Eventhough India Red falls short of 10-20 runs to the target, the chase was an interesting one making many follow this match, considering the fact once people followed only international matches. Good to see comments pouring as well"."
another one of those wider deliveries, but this time the umpire rules against the bowler
bowls a slower delivery wide outside off, the batsman cannot get his bat anywhere near the ball
short of length delivery, the batsman drags it to long on for a single
short of length delivery on the stumps, it's pushed to cover for a single
gets a full delivery on off stump that Umesh pushes down back to the bowler, who then flicks it back towards Umesh.. Smiles exchanged..
The last Yadav walks out, it's Umesh
brings up a good yorker that is headed for the middle stump, Suraj is late to bring his bat down to stop that from heading into the stumps
now he makes room and chips it over the infield to the man at deep extra cover
bowls a full delivery outside off, the batsman walked across again to flick it to the leg side, but it goes under the bat
slower delivery, but this way down the leg side
short of length delivery, tucked towards midwicket for an easy single
