IIRC, Pathan also got hammered pretty badly the last time he bowled, except for the penultimate over in second 20-20.

WI again survived and were able to draw the match against WI. The Ball was doing too much on a 5th day track but the west indians survived. Won the series 1-0.

Congrats WI ..

4th ODI
NZ - 270/5 (47 Overs)
IND - 40/0 (5.4Overs)
Seems like it will be a total whitewash of ODI for NZ (3-0)
They did us a whitewash in T20 (2-0)

Sehwag got a reason to cut loose in rain affected match and result? 103 off 60 and still going - brings his 100 with a 6 off Vetori !!! 7th fastest in the ODI history.

BTW Gambhir has made 50 in 52 but is overshadowed.

India are 164 in 18.4 overs.

Comment from Cricinfo: "Sehwag Vs NZ reminds me of Obelix against the Romans! O'Brien must be wondering what magic potion Sehwag's Ma {mother] fed him as a baby."

BTW, Sehwag has hit 100th six of his career in this match.

Also the fastest hundred record by an Indian, previously held by Yuvraj Singh on 64 balls.

Steeroid · 11th March 2009, 13:02

This is a massacre.

I wonder why they couldnt find the time to bowl 4 more balls, though - thats all it takes to give this game a result and its pretty clear which side is walking all over the other right now.

Yes, 4 balls was all that was required for those Brit statisticians to use their theory and declare India winners. I hope they will be bowled.

diabloo · 11th March 2009, 13:32

Those were indeed bowled and we can have a result. India need 43 in 15 overs for a win.

It was held by Azharuddin(62 balls), not by Yuvraj(64 balls).
Once again Rain has intervened, seems like that will be the end of the match. India needs 19runs/75 balls
SO if the match doesn't continue from here
India win by 10 wickets ??
Latest score India 201/0 23.3 overs
Sehwag 125*, Gambhir 62*

abhinav.gupta88 · 11th March 2009, 13:55

Official Result :
India win the 4th ODI.

Aware of Azharuddin's record but dont care for records set by players who tried selling the game.

For me its Sehwag - 60 balls and then Yuvraj - 64 balls.

abhinav.gupta88 · 11th March 2009, 14:18

India win by 10 wickets.
Go 3-0 up in the 5 match series.
Hope they get a 4-0
