Wow! Double strike, Bajji gets sweet revenge against both his distractors where in matters, in the field, at a match that could be the decider.

Well, you can't blame him, I'm sure his own are on fire by now

...if not his rear

CaAT · 4th March 2008, 16:43

Johnson out!

238/8.

Last over to Piyush Chawla? Going by Dhoni's captaincy so far, looks very much likely.

Go India

suman · 4th March 2008, 16:44

Yes, yes, yes!!! Almost there

Talk about Ponting's words being prophetic - the 3rd final will not be needed after all
cheers:

EDIT: A 6 from Hopes!!!!!
EDIT 2: Bracken gone!

CaAT · 4th March 2008, 16:51

India wins!

Australia all out.

diabloo · 4th March 2008, 16:52

Its done. India win.

suman · 4th March 2008, 16:54

OK, time to pop the Champagnecheers:!! They've done it in the Aussie's back yard.

S.H.I.T., if only today hadn't been a working day - gotta catch the highlights at night lol.

Congratulations to Dhoni for leading this team to victory

49.3Pathan to Hopes, 2 runs, swinging yorker dug out to long-off and some good running there has them home Good stuff from the young fielder who held his nerve. Australia will be relieved that Hopes will be on strike as they crossed49.2Pathan to Bracken, OUT, full delivery comes in slow on off, Bracken swipes it up to midwicket where a pedalling Chawla runs over and takes it over his head at the second grasp NW Bracken c Piyush Chawla b Pathan 1 (2b 0x4 0x6) SR: 50.00
How did that happen?
49.2, Bracken faced and got out..do they get that one run?
How can Hopes face 49.3?
am I missing something?
