All hail AA!

 

[luckyeddie]

All hail AA!

Oh yes!!!

12.4 Agarkar to Khaled Mashud, OUT: full, quicker and on the middle and off, played and missed, rapped on the pad, loud shout and the finger goes up, the batsman could feel a bit aggrieved as the ball looked like it was slipping down leg


Could see it was out from here

 

[aussie_beater]

Salvi has picked up two wickets..... Bangladesh are 39/5...

 

[luckyeddie]

It just gets better and better....

16.5 Agarkar to Akram Khan, OUT: outside the off, and this one holds its line, Akram Khan strides forward and plays away from the body, the ball takes the thinnest of edges to the wicketkeeper

 

[luckyeddie]

and then....

Agarkar to Khaled Mahmud, OUT: just short of a length and on the
off, edged through to the keeper, Patel takes a good catch

 

[luckyeddie]

All gone

Bangladesh 76 all out

Mohammad Rafique top scored with 18

Zaheer Khan 4-19
AA 3-18
Salvi 2-15
Dentist 1-19

Says it all really. India win by 200 runs

 

[V Reddy]

AA bowled very well today. Not a single ball on the legs and almost all of them were on the off stump and almost on the same length except for the bouncers and Salvi also bowled very well. He was very very unlucky not to get 3 as Sehwag dropped a very very easy catch of him. Good performance by the Indian team.

 

[Anil]

Easy win for India. The great AA turns in a magnificient all-round performance.:wow: :wow:

 

[krkode]

As cricinfo put it a real "scythe" :wow:

Quite beautiful

 

[Langeveldt]

HOPEFULLY the Final SA XI will be none other than this

Otherwise they just look too weak

1.Smith
2.Gibbs
3.Rudolph
4.Kallis
5.Dippenaar
6.McKenzie
7.Boucher
8.Hall
9.Pollock
10.Ntini
11.Adams

Not the strongest SA squad I have seen though

 

[lord_of_darkness]

well that was a good game , india deserved to win it at the end and a good performance from a.agarkar which i hope continues but its a.a so it wont..

superb batting from yuvraj about time he got a 100 he always looked like getting one

well bowled from Zaheer and salvi tightened things up big time

Beware the wounded animal - SA to win it for me.

 

[lord_of_darkness]

Yea but i cant really predict anything , india in form and s.a wanting to get their old position at the top 3 back

 

[masterblaster]

So far so good. Good knock by Yuvraj.
Didnt see any live video or images of it unfortunately!
Good stuff by Salvi,

but remember it was only Bangladesh. These guys are talented though, and we all know about Yuvraj's extraordinary talent with bat, and in the field.

At first when he played for India U19 in the WC in SRL , i thought that he was a bowling all-rounder as he was 2 or 3 rd highest wicket taker in that WC. But yeah he is a very clean striker and a great finisher. He needs to be picked in the tests too as India need him in the tests in AUS and he is a very good player of the short ball.

 

[vandemataram]

Salvi was simly magnificient, hopefully he would give a good perormance against a top side like SA.

Khan and Ajit also played well, Yuvraj was at his brilliant best!

 

[marc71178]

But they were only playing against Bangladesh!

Even Neil and I could add 100 and then pick up 4 or 5 wickets against them!
