CW XI v India @ The Gabba

India make major changes, dropping Yuvraj for the unproven Wasim Jaffer and R. P. Singh for the well-rounded allrounder Ramesh Powar. CW XI are unchanged, as they hope the bowling attack will do the job again.

Tendulkar           5-0-22-0
0.2 Pathan to Markus, three runs, short, Markus pulls, off the mark as the ball rolls to backward squre leg, fine shot
0.3 Pathan to Camps, two runs, better length, on the stumps, another pull shot to bring up five
0.5 Pathan to Markus, leg bye, poor bowling from Pathan, very nearly a wide but the players take a run after it brushed Markus' hip
1.4 Zaheer to Markus, OUT, gone! good length ball on the stumps, attempted pull shot again, Markus gives a lazy bottom edge back to Zaheer who holds an easy catch, big breakthrough for India

Code:
I Markus c & b Zaheer 3 (4b)
Score: 9/1
2.3 Pathan to Camps, FOUR, short again, Camps picks up easy runs to square leg, inaccurate start here
3.2 Zaheer to Goff, one run, good length on the stumps, nurdles round the corner, easy does it
4.4 Pathan to Camps, no run, fuller length, swings away, Camps comprehensively beaten
5.3 Zaheer to Goff, three runs, big drive goes straight to Powar, who fumbles, extra run for CW
6.1 Pathan to Camps, no run, line and length again, Camps leaves alone
7.6 Zaheer to Camps, no run, that's a maiden over, Camps struggling with the little movement the Indian bowlers can find on this glorious day
9.2 Zaheer to Camps, FOUR, take that! in the corridor, Camps decides to have a hack and drives it to cover, stunning shot!
9.4 Zaheer to Camps, FOUR, and again! a tad shorter, read correctly by the batsman and hammered past extra cover, CW fighting back
10.1 Pathan to Camps, one run, oops! short and wide from Pathan, another attempted cover drive but the ball flies off the outside edge and away to Zaheer at backward point, doesn't hold on and the batsmen cross for a single
13.5 Zaheer to Camps, FOUR, glances down leg, elegant boundary to a rather poor delivery
14.0 Harbhajan on for Pathan, first bowling change
14.5 Harbhajan to Camps, FOUR, pitched up, flighted, Camps charges down the track already and drives straight past the bowler, to long on for four
15.0 Here's Powar...
15.5 Powar to Goff, wide, down the leg side, first run of the over
15.6 Powar to Goff, no run, on the off and turns away, Goff leaves alone
16.1 Harbhajan to Camps, FOUR, dropped a touch short, Camps sees it and charges again, another boundary
16.4 Harbhajan to Goff, three runs, drive, well stopped on the boundary by Jaffer
18.5 Harbhajan to Camps, one run, played down to point, quick single taken, fifty up
19.6 Powar to Camps, no run, another near-maiden, but for Powar's no ball
21.1 Powar to Camps, FOUR, pitched up, Camps makes room and drives hard, a one-bounce four to mid off
21.2 Powar to Camps, FOUR, dropped a bit short, Camps hoiks, that's the ticket!
21.3 Powar to Camps, no run, beaten outside the off stump
21.4 Powar to Camps, FOUR, pitches on the off, Camps steps into the off side and pulls the ball through midwicket, improvises for another boundary
21.5 Powar to Camps, one run, leg glance to bring Goff on strike
21.6 Powar to Goff, wide, dear oh dear, forgettable over from Powar this, now far down the leg side
21.6 Powar to Goff, FOUR, that's his figures ruined, fantastic shot and the run rate is starting to pick up again
22.5 Harbhajan to Camps, SIX, BRUTAL! slogged over mid on, not the most elegant of shots but it brings him a maximum, India's spinners are in disarray
25.4 Sehwag to Goff, no run, plenty of turn on this one, Goff decides to leave in the end, good delivery from the new bowler
27.1 Sehwag to Camps, OUT, oh dear, batsman looking rather silly there, Sehwag pitches an innocuous delivery well outside off but Camps wants to drive and is beaten by the little turn, inside edge to Dhoni

Code:
LA Camps c Dhoni b Sehwag 77 (89b, 9x4, 1x6)
Score: 129/2
27.6 Sehwag to Goff, OUT, double wicket over! Disaster strikes! Goff inside edges another innocuous delivery outside the off stump, this one goes on to take out off stump on its way through to Dhoni, three down and plenty of pressure on Dauth

Code:
BJ Goff b Sehwag 45 (71b, 2x4)
Score: 130/3
30.5 Harbhajan to Dauth, FOUR, hoiks wildly, the ball flies away to backward square, no fielder there and Dauth into double figures
31.4 Sehwag to Dauth, FOUR, that's better, poor delivery outside off again and Dauth says thank you, drives past cover
31.5 Sehwag to Dauth, FOUR, and again! this a fine cut shot which whizzes past backward point, Dauth settling in
32.5 Powar to Butler, OUT, bowling change works, Powar pitches it short and Butler attempts the hook, easily held by Harbhajan

Code:
CR Butler c Harbhajan b Powar 6 (15b)
Score: 161/4
32.6 Powar to Robbins, no run, left alone
34.5 Powar to Robbins, FOUR, placement, not the hardest of shots but right between the two men in the deep on the off side, four runs all the way
37.3 Sehwag to Dauth, four leg byes, sloppy bowling and even worse fielding down at fine leg, how that one went through I'll never know
37.5 Sehwag to Robbins, FOUR, another fine drive, run rate keeping up nicely here
37.6 Sehwag to Robbins, one run, edged! in the air to Zaheer, who drops his second catch of the match, extra slip practice for him this afternoon one feels
38.4 Tendulkar to Robbins, FOUR, nothing can stop him, this one short and Robbins charges, easily put away through midwicket
39.2 Sehwag to Dauth, FOUR, field drawn back to stop the boundary, Dauth doesn't care, cuts with impunity to get into the forties, flew off the bat
40.4 Tendulkar to Dauth, no run, another dot ball, fourth in a row, can't quite read these nagging slow deliveries
42.1 Tendulkar to Robbins, FOUR, glanced down leg and it's gone to backward square, fielder can't stop that
43.2 Sehwag to Dauth, FOUR, whacks the ball square, not elegant but it's brought him closer to the half-century
43.3 Sehwag to Dauth, one run, dropped! aerial drive to midwicket, there's Powar ambling in, ball falls just short of the fielder and they take a single
43.5 Sehwag to Dauth, SIX, some way to hit your maiden ODI half-century! Sehwag drops it short, Dauth charges, hits over the fielder at cover and away for six, very, very cheeky shot but he's got away with it
44.2 Zaheer to Robbins, no run, beaten outside off
44.3 Zaheer to Robbins, no run, hit straight to the fielder
45.1 Pathan to Robbins, FOUR, fine drive straight back past the bowler, nearly nips off stump on its way to the boundary but survives
45.5 Pathan to Robbins, FOUR, and again, this one hit to the on side for another boundary, Robbins hunting a half-century
46.1 Zaheer to Dauth, no run, dangerous, hit on the pads and a huge appeal, just about going down leg, tricky decision
Tendulkar back on for Pathan...
47.6 Tendulkar to Robbins, two runs, can't quite get it away, five from the over, well bowled by Tendulkar
48.3 Zaheer to Dauth, SIX, again! big hoik over square leg, taken by a spectator, another fine shot and Dauth has made 70 at just over a run-a-ball
48.5 Zaheer to Robbins, no run, we're not getting a half-ton here it seems, beaten outside off
49.6 Tendulkar to Robbins, one run, rounds off the innings with a single to midwicket, fine display of hitting in the end, but is 263 enough against this vaunted Indian line-up?

1.2 Patrick to Sehwag, OUT, here we go again! CW bowling attack have been outstanding in this tournament, and even when defending a total they turn up! Cracking delivery from Patrick, on off stump and swinging in, crashes into Sehwag's pad and it looked like he almost contemplated walking there

Code:
V Sehwag lbw b Patrick 4 (6b)
Score: 5/1
2.2 Hoy to Dravid, OUT, no, that run was never on! Dravid drabbles the ball down to backward point, there's a quick throw from Butler and the bails are off just as the batsmen cross, incredible decision to run there, Jaffer walks back

Code:
W Jaffer run out (Butler/Chaulk) 1 (4b)
Score: 7/2
2.6 Hoy to Tendulkar, OUT, my oh my! India are heading out of this World Cup in embarrassing fashion! short ball, Tendulkar attempts the pull shot, catches the bottom edge and there's Robbins at midwicket, holds a fine catch and India are nine for three

Code:
SR Tendulkar c Robbins b Hoy 1 (2b)
Score: 9/3
3.6 Patrick to Dravid, one run, yorker, Dravid gets bat down on it just in time and it beats Robbins, single taken to deny Patrick the maiden
5.1 Patrick to Kaif, FOUR, short ball, Kaif cuts, four runs all the way, nice way to face your first ball
5.5 Patrick to Kaif, OUT, what is happening here?! another short ball, Kaif holds out his bat and waits for it to hit the edge, obligingly taken by Butler at backward point and India are four down for 17, this could be rather an embarrassing rout

Code:
M Kaif c Butler b Patrick 4 (5b, 1x4)
Score: 17/4
5.6 Patrick to Raina, one run, off the strike
6.4 Hoy to Dravid, OUT, well, we were sort of hoping someone would hit double figures today, Dravid it is not, leading edge well taken by Robbins after going just over Hoy, that's five down for 19.

Code:
R Dravid c Robbins b Hoy 6 (21b)
Score: 19/5
9.4 Patrick to Raina, FOUR, and the first boundary to bring Raina into double digits.
10.1 Hoy to Raina, OUT, and that's another ridiculous run out! Raina calls Dhoni out, then changes his mind, Dhoni left stranded on mid-pitch as Robbins hits the stumps at the non-striker's end

Code:
MS Dhoni run out (Robbins) 3 (7b)
Score: 33/6
10.2 Hoy to Powar, OUT, good bye! quicker ball, seaming in, Powar can't get bat down in time, gets pad in front and hopes for a nice umpiring decision, however that is plumb as plumb can be

Code:
RR Powar lbw b Hoy 0 (1b)
Score: 33/7
10.5 Hoy to Pathan, FOUR, we note the lowest score CW have bowled a team out for is 97, Zimbabwe at Hobart
13.6 Patrick to Raina, three runs, a bit wide and Raina drives hard at it, 50 up
18.6 Hoy to Raina, no run, 10-over spell completed, an excellent spell from Hoy
19.6 Camps to Pathan, that completes the maiden
25.0 Halsey on for Camps. These two are at least keeping things out, even though victory is long out of the question.
31.5 Halsey to Pathan, two runs, one hundred up, 67 partnership for the eighth wicket.
32.1 Robbins to Raina, OUT, medium pace does the trick! slow delivery, Raina gets a leading edge, Robbins holds it easily, record may be gone but CW are still looking for run rate

Code:
S Raina c & b Robbins 42 (89b, 2x4)
Score: 100/8
42.3 Pickup to Pathan, one run, fifty, a fine innings...if this had been Test cricket and India had played for the draw
47.2 Camps to Pathan, OUT, yorker, bottom edge, catch held by Robbins, but the all out opportunity is squandered now

Code:
IK Pathan c Robbins b Camps 61 (103b, 4x4)
Score: 155/9
48.2 Pickup to Harbhajan, OUT, or not. Partnership contributes exactly zero, as a huge lbw appeal is upheld, despite the ball pitching outside off. CW completing a massive victory, sending India out of the World Cup in disarray and shame. The final margin of victory: 108 runs.

Code:
Harbhajan Singh lbw b Pickup 24 (48b, 1x4)
Score: 155 ao

Big moment for Dauth there. Stunning performance from the seamers again though, Hoy's having a massive tournament.

So what if it did pitch outside off?!

Top win boys :) Semis here we come - this time we'll finish the job.

Absolutely smashed it. Great bowling effort and the batsmen dominated. Oh yeah.
