The 4th ODI at Ahmedabad: score and discussion, 1st Innings [11/04/05]

[MIG]

So friends, its almost time for the big day.

The occasion, 4th ODI between Pakistan and India, location Ahmedabad, the weather hot and humid with Max temp forecast at 38C !

The series still in Indias favour at 2-1 but Pakistani star on the rise!

Just like the 5th day at Bangalore we implored our teams to make us proud and to end the day with our heads held high , we ask for the same effort again!

Question is, has the slumbering giant that is Pakistan ( and its captain ) finally awakened ? Will we see a performance we will cherish forever ?Time for some heroes to rise up and plant the sacred flag on the enemies castle ! Ahmedabad - Wake up - The Pakistanis are here !!!


Go Pakistan - Pakistan Zindabad !!

" sadly the toss has been delayed due to a damp pitch!
the weather is fine and nobody is sure how this happened, Umpires
have decided to have another inspection at 9:00 IST (3:30 GMT)."


:L?

[Hash]

:L?

My money is on Irfan Pathan

[badxhah]

Yaar Kon hia yeh

[mumtaz]

so wat to do now after winning the toss? bowl first?

[badxhah]

Toss does matter in these games i hope inzy does not reside to the fact if i lose the toss i will lose the match.
U have to think Positive in such situations

[161]

so wat to do now after winning the toss? bowl first?


interesting question - here is the forecast "Today: Abundant sunshine. High 102F. Winds NNE at 5 to 10 mph."

:L?

Looks like Ganguly wet himself [-(

[Shayan_Sohail]

Damp Pitch. What exactly does this mean? has the pitch been tempered with? and how will it effect the game-plan(Or will there be a game?)? Should the winner of the toss bowl first?

I was already to tensed before the game and now this. I dont want to jump to wrong concluions but this sounds really suspicious.

[Wasif]

my question is ..

how does the damp pitch effect the batting and balling conditions .. ?
Does it change the dicision of toss winning side due to change of pitch condition?

[mumtaz]

with so much heat waise, the pitch wud dry out quick but i guess it wud have some juice in the first half hr, its going to be an interesting decision, probably a good toss to lose.

as i write, its reported that match wud start half an hr late with toss being in 5 min.

[whyhkk]

Where is Noddy bhai?

[Shayan_Sohail]

I personally think if there is no logical reason for the pitch being damp the match should be called off. There is no reason for us to risk our players safety. Plus this sort of thing in the last minute might hamper with the minds of players.

[sajjad]

so has the toss been taken yet

[mumtaz]

actually it seems that inzi and ganguly are still arguing about whether to start or not.

[badxhah]

grd man missing

[sajjad]

ground man missing??????
whats happening here


and btw this dampness may effect the decision of the captain who wins the toss. they may just bowl first

30 mins till match starts

[Hash]

this smells very fishy

[mumtaz]

play will start 1 hr late, toss in half an hr confirmed by sanjay.

[badxhah]

Play will start at 10.00 so far the man responsible for this is missing ...

[161]

i think maybe shiv senna changed tactics, instead of digging up the pitch, they took a .....

[Hash]

hopefully pitch would have dried up by then


very strange indeed. It's quite typical really. I was looking forward to this game and now some complete and utter idiot has ruined it.

[sajjad]

so it starts in 30 mins right

[mumtaz]

the chief pitch curator is missing, wow!!

[Shayan_Sohail]

Is there any reason given for the pitch being damp and will there be any deduction in the 50 overs.

[firebelly]

well i think there is something fishy going on here

how the hell can the pitch be damp when its 102F there

[mumtaz]

there will be a deduction, if the match had started at 9.30 ist, there wud have been no deduction, now i guess there wud be a 3 or 4 over deduction coz 7 overs are supposed to be bowled in half an hr.

[shikari]

what is the estimated GMT start time or US EST start time for the game

[Schiller]

the Q is, why is the pitch damp??

[whyhkk]

EST 12:30
GMT 4:30

[Shayan_Sohail]

I think US est is 12:30

[sajjad]

the chief pitch curator is missing, wow!!


where did u get that news

[mumtaz]

harbhajan is not playing according to rediff. now we wud have to contend with murali kartik bowling left arm over into the pads, hopefully butt is going to stay there long enuff.

[Shayan_Sohail]

the Q is, why is the pitch damp??

Exactly, So far there has been no reason given.

[mumtaz]

sanjay was saying that prassana guy who is responsible for the pitch is no where to be found.

[sajjad]

sanjay says weird things. he is probably standing behind him...hence sanjay cannot see him...lol!

[Geordie Ahmed]

Even school cricket would not be this unprofessional

[sajjad]

man i hate this...!

i wanted to see as much of the match...now itll start later in the night...damm!

[firebelly]

I think US est is 12:30

yea approx but this is the eastern standard time

[Gasherbrum]

i told entra to keep his diaper on before strolling out onto the pitch. :/OPS

[Shayan_Sohail]

This sounds really serious. Should ths game continue without knowing the reason for the dampnesss of the pitch.

the curator obviously screwed up big time. and like a typical desi is now not there to take responsibility. seems simple to me. unless there's a conspiracy theory I am missing.

[sajjad]

chill guys..its just dampness...nothing life related. unless something serious comes around about what happened to the curator...the match shud go on

[Gasherbrum]

whats with this desi crack? i don't see mick jagger taking responsibility for all his little errors roaming around the world asking mommy what they should put in as daddy's name on the school zoo trip form. haien haein ?

[farid1]

"The news is that play will start at 10:00 IST (4:30 GMT)."

This means 35 mins to start.

[161]

so if the match is reduced by say 5 overs - will they then limit each bowler to 9 overs - because if they don't india will have an advantage since they only use 4 bowlers (less overs to be filled in by part timers).

[catwoman]

So when's it starting then???

[Hash]

pitch damp........hmmmmmm. I wonder what Ganguly and co were discussing so animatedly here?

[sajjad]

35 more minutes

[Gasherbrum]

hmmm, interesting hash. but i don't see ganguly on one leg, so i'll reserve my judgement on this one.

whats with this desi crack? i don't see mick jagger taking responsibility for all his little errors roaming around the world asking mommy what they should put in as daddy's name on the school zoo trip form. haien haein ?

:))2

[mumtaz]

it wud be a 46 or 47 over match but that definitely means that the part-timers wud have to bowl 9 overs.

[Shayan_Sohail]

When's the toss

[Hash]

remember those pics were taken yesterday

[mumtaz]

the toss shud be in 3 min

[Hash]

why should Inzi do guys?

I have absolutely no idea personally

how long will the juice last? has it already dried up? will it dry up by the time play starts

remember those pics were taken yesterday

that could explain quite a bit. maybe gangs and co werent happy with the pitch and asked the curator to do something drastic. he panicked and screwed up?

[Geordie Ahmed]

Im thinking exactly the same thing

there is a case to be made for bowling first and getting sehwag early. but I think he should do the positive thing and set a target.

[octavian]

looks like the indian are up tp thier old tactics of pitch tampering.

[mumtaz]

i guess now the captain winning the toss wud decide to bat first with more time to dry the pitch and the heat and the fact that lunch break wud be smaller, so less time to recover for the batsmen.

[octavian]

Any New from TSN ?

[Amir_rulez]

looks like the indian are up tp thier old tactics of pitch tampering.

Octavian, They will fall for it themselves inshallah.
Just wait & see !

[firebelly]

Inzi lost the toss again [-(

[Wasif]

"It's going to be a 48 overs per side match and the lunch interval has been reduced to 30 minutes."

cricinfo

[Hash]

48 overs per side

[octavian]

I hope so AMir

[mumtaz]

48 overs per side, lunch break 30 min.

[Gasherbrum]

its hard really. hopefully the pitch dries up by the time the game starts. might not be a bad toss to lose here, make the other guy decide and hopefully get it wrong. both captains might be tempted to bowl here, and maybe take one of the spinners out for an extra seamer?

it really must be said though, what utter incompetence?? did ramu kaka leave the sprinkler on or something?

[Hash]

what did Ganguly the pitch doctor do then?

[mumtaz]

gangs batting first

[Obeid]

gangu won toss and elected to bat.

[octavian]

Pakistan going with unchanged team.

[firebelly]

so what now
48 overs
lost the toss
how should the tema proceed

[Shayan_Sohail]

Best chance now is to get sehwag early.

[Hash]

firebelly- bowl india out for a low total and then chase it down

[mumtaz]

kartik in for bhajji

[firebelly]

well
lets c if bowlers can do it

its really frustrating that inzi have been loosing th etoss so much

[Gasherbrum]

why would they take the better spinner out and play karthik ... oh wait, leg stump attack ?

[Hash]

1st test- india won toss
2nd test- india won toss
3rd test- pak won toss

1st odi- india won toss
2nd odi- india won toss
3rd odi- pak won toss
4th odi- india won toss after tampering with pitch

[mumtaz]

no i think bhajji had developed a back problem in the last match, i hope that is the reason!!

[161]

unfortunate that the squad is the same - too many spinners IMO - i think nazir should have played in place of danish or afridi .

[Hash]

i disagree kashif

you should never change a winning combination

afridi is a must in our one day side
cannot drop danish because of two bad balls in one match

[firebelly]

well
lets c if bowlers can take something out of the dampness of the pitch
i mean maybe they can extract some movement off the pitch
naveed can def do it
lets hope he can this time

[Shayan_Sohail]

unfortunate that the squad is the same - too many spinners IMO - i think nazir should have played in place of danish or afridi .

From what i have heard it is a spinning track.

[161]

[mumtaz]

cricinfo says balaji in for pathan as well

[HAFRIDI]

dam was happened?? i been asleep!

[sajjad]

Pakistan will win today

[Wasif]

"Mohammad Sami to start the bowling attack"

cricinfo

[sajjad]

3 balls no run

no real swing so far

[sajjad]

2 runs off the last ball

sehwag not swinging wildly at all today

[octavian]

sami caressed thru covers for 2.

2-0 after 1 over.

[sajjad]

man of the match rana to share the new ball

[sajjad]

pitch will be very hard to bat on as itll get really slow later on. spinners crucial
says shastri.

[HAFRIDI]

cmmon zindabad!

[Hash]

sajjad- they say that every game. It never does.

[sajjad]

no ball, half volley on leg stump

5 bonus runs to india

[sajjad]

Another half volley on leg, he finds the fielder this time

Rana needs to correct his line

[MIG]

Any New from TSN ?

There is enough material here to last 10 days !!

[DM]

afridi is a must in our one day side
cannot drop danish because of two bad balls in one match
Agreed 100%

[sajjad]

no pace in the wkt at all

[sajjad]

a 250 score will be very good

ball not coming onto the bat already
rana bowls another no ball

[octavian]

Rana's second no ball in his first over

[Hash]

8/0 from 2 overs

come on pak

early wicket needed

[161]

no pace in the wkt at all



big surprise ...
india learned their lesson after the last game

[octavian]

Ball is not coming on the bat. We are only in the 2nd over of the day. Spinners will play a big role in this match.

[mumtaz]

seeing the way sehwag is struggling for timing, 260 seems a good score on this wicket

[HAFRIDI]

we will win this hopefully

[mumtaz]

sachin as usual with the sidescreen, TSN take note

[octavian]

another leg side half volley, no ball, put away for 4.

[sajjad]

Pakistan will win this match

[badxhah]

i dont get he played 8 balls and suddenly founds some wrong wid the sightscreen

[HAFRIDI]

sajjad i hope ur right

[MIG]

sachin as usual with the sidescreen, TSN take note

point noted....

[octavian]

another 4 by tendu. He is looking very good today

[sajjad]

i was expecting a better start to this match...n the pitch....well india lucky to win the toss

but

Pakistan will win the match

[sajjad]

19/0 after 3

bad bowling by pakistan on the legs. need to maintain offstumo line

[octavian]

Rana giving another half volley on the pads. and smacked away to boundary.

[octavian]

Our players HAVE to follow a good performance with a lackluster one.

[sajjad]

this time rana to sehwag on leg
another easy 4.
and another one.
pakistan gifting india a good start

2 consecutive ones...

nope there was a double in between
real bad bowling here

[octavian]

14 off the Rana's second over. 33-0 after 4.

[sajjad]

14 off the over.
rana seems high from the last match

[badxhah]

i m guessing todzy wont be rana's day

[Gasherbrum]

terrible bowling by both bowlers. inzi in trouble already.

[Imy]

hate to say it guys nothing in the pitch. and you win the toss and you win, i hope iam wrong

[Nauman]

See I told you guys that Sami is only a one match bowler.

[Hash]

Nauman- a one match bowler who has bowled well in the 2nd test, the 3rd test, the 1st odi and the 3rd odi!

sounds like more than a one match bowler to me

[161]

sad to say - but i expected this .

[ali kc]

Good start by India

Its only the 5th over guyz...dont lose hope

Inshallah we will win this match!

[Muddaser]

Sami gives the usual 4 ball every over!

[Hash]

whats the latest score people?

cricinfo etc being unbelievably slow as usual

I might go to bed if there is no wicket in the next few overs

[MIG]

Have we lost yet ? :)

Dont worry people - the batting will carry the day

[sajjad]

its a short ground....
but we need to stop giving these free runs thru bad bowling

[MIG]

"16 of the 39 runs have been through the midwicket region, clearly indicative of bowlers overpitching on the pads."

From Rediff.

[ali kc]

47 in 6 overs :(

[Gasherbrum]

the field setup means any wickets we get are going to be self inflicted by india.

[sajjad]

47/0 after 5
dont worry hash, as i said

Pakistan will win this match

[sajjad]

sorry thats 6 overs

[Hash]

thanks sajjad bro


we need a wicket badly

[ali kc]

47/0 after 5
dont worry hash, as i said

Pakistan will win this match

I hope youre right man

[Hash]

the field setup means any wickets we get are going to be self inflicted by india.

what about LBW? caught behind? bowled?


we can still get our own wickets, no matter what the field is.

[ali kc]

good over by sami...only 1 run of it

[Officer Barbrady]

Good over by Sami. 48/0 after 7

[Gasherbrum]

much better from sam. now if only rana and inzi can decide where they want to bowl, we might actually be on to something.

[sajjad]

one run of sami in that over

rana not as good

[161]

"what about LBW?"

rudi is umpiring today X)

[Hash]

well done sami!

Sami's figures

4/0/19/0 are not too bad. Only 4.75 per over


Rana needs to sort it out pronto

[Hash]

kashif- oh great. Forgot about that.

[Khalil]

Why is Rana so inconsistent?

One match this guy is absolutely brilliant. The next 10 games he is absolutely *****

[Imy]

this pitch looks like will get slower and slower

[Gasherbrum]

now that the line is better, i would think about putting a slip back in place to get rid of this guiding down to third man. alternatively, sehwag does play it on with an angled bat, so maybe take that chance?

[sajjad]

extras continue to mount

batsme not taking any risks whatsoever.
bowlers giving them the easy runs all over the park

[Hash]

imy- they say that every game. It never does.

The pitch remains exactly the same it is only tiredness/concentration because of the heat that the batsman make mistakes.

[Gasherbrum]

oooh nice ball from sami to sachin.

[Hash]

i actually think he is one of our most consistent bowlers.

[Gasherbrum]

very nice over again, except for that no ball ofcourse. much better this from both bowlers.

[Hash]

good stuff sami. keep it up boy.

[MIG]

imy- they say that every game. It never does.

The pitch remains exactly the same it is only tiredness/concentration because of the heat that the batsman make mistakes.

Commentators - yes
Experts - no!

[catwoman]

What's happened to Rana today? :|

[Officer Barbrady]

The spinners should do better. Rubbish wickets though why do we plan to play in India every other year? :((

[sajjad]

41 after 5 from rana
23 after 5 from sami

we need a bowling change...shud have been done last over

[Gasherbrum]

got him!!!!!!!

[MIG]

its a 48 over match ?

[sajjad]

SEHWAG RUN OUTTTTTT!

HAHAHAHAHAH

[Officer Barbrady]

Mona-he came on PakPassion before the game and saw what you looked like after readnig your posts and seeing your new avatar

[catwoman]

YESSSSSSSSSS

[Gasherbrum]

all younis khan doubters better be eating their words yet again this series. this is just brilliant. sehwag gone, younis khan takes his wicket.

[mumtaz]

yk takes sehwag again, haha

[catwoman]

Mona-he came on PakPassion before the game and saw what you looked like after readnig your posts and seeing your new avatar

I doubt my avatar would have scared him since he's used to seeing Sami. :P

[Officer Barbrady]

Excellent stuff by YK but what rubbish by Sehwag? :)))


Yes it's a 48 over game

[Hash]

YEEAAAAAAAAAAAH YEEEEEEEEEEEES YEEEEEEEEEEES YEEEEEEEEEEES


COME ON!!!!!! YOUNIS!!!!! YOUNIS IS A STAR!!!!!!!

\A/ \A/ \A/ \A/ \A/ \A/ \A/ \A/ \A/ \A/ \A/

Big wicket there. We needed that badly. Come on boys.

[sajjad]

sachin continues to guide it to 3rd man

[Gasherbrum]

cmon inzi get a slip in there man! sami is bowling well right now, give him some support

[Hydro]

MYK A DEMON IN THE FIELD AT THE MO

[MIG]

all younis khan doubters better be eating their words yet again this series. this is just brilliant. sehwag gone, younis khan takes his wicket.

Yes - I admit it - I will be having Alphabet soup today....

[Hydro]

rana having trouble

[sajjad]

anoter no ball by rana..
he needs to be changed..what r they waiting for

[161]

inzi should have made a change !!!

[Hash]

my bold prediction:

Rana will come back in this game and get two vital wickets later on

[sajjad]

dhoni survives an inside edge going close to the stumps...
batsmen not really as fluid as the score may suggest. a lot of leg side bowling has given away the runs

[161]

my bold prediction:

Rana will come back in this game and get two vital wickets later on


rana always makes a comeback - but i fear the damage has already been done today

[sajjad]

rr is almost 7 an over.

[Hydro]

four by dhoni

[sajjad]

sami scored a 51 off just 36 balls.

[sajjad]

run out chance....he is safe...cud have been out had the fielder been quicker

[razzler]

sami scored a 51 off just 36 balls. :)?

[Hash]

sajjad- beg your pardon?

[Hydro]

anything less than 250 will be good conitnaing by pka

[sajjad]

sorry rana did
off his own balling

50 runs to his name

[Hash]

if we can limit them to less than 300 then I believe we will win this match.

[Khalil]

Rana banana going at 8.5

Why is Aloo not making a bowling change?

India are set for a score of 350

[161]

inzi falling asleep as usual with the bowling changes

[Hydro]

dhoni getting a boundary or 2 every over

[Officer Barbrady]

Hash it doesn't seem 300 will be as easy a chase as in the other games

88/1 after 13
Dhoni looking good

I think Afridi can be crucial..he has to bowl well.

[Hydro]

kaineria in

[sajjad]

THE AFRIDI into the attack

Modi THE MURDERER being shown on screen

[Hydro]

lol

i menat afridi why b4 165 overs

[sajjad]

bowling AROUND the wkt

[Hydro]

afridid doin a tendulkar being sly

[sajjad]

Afridi smacked for 6 by sachin

[Hydro]

and get whacked for a 6

[Hash]

afridi will get his revenge

sachin will be hit for many a six when he bowls

[sajjad]

afridi 2wides and a noball plus a six
only 4 balls bowled

[Hydro]

pak betta be careful hear

[161]

whats new - afridi has been going for 10 an over the entire series almost - yet BW and Inzi continue to play him ....

[Officer Barbrady]

Tendu is a much bigger legspinner of the ball thus easier for him to use that outside leg line. Afridi will have to keep it just outside leg.

[MIG]

No way to get SRT round his legs - best to go back to his usual. Always trust your strengths...

[sajjad]

pakistan need to do something here.

indians scoring @ 7 an over
and this wkt is more like a 4-5 run an over

[Hydro]

jakka from the other side

[Hydro]

beautiful delivery 1st up by razzaq

[sajjad]

100 up in the 15th over

pakistan on thier heels and india rolling them over at the moment

[Hash]

good first over by razzaq

2 off it

[Officer Barbrady]

No way to get SRT round his legs - best to go back to his usual. Always trust your strengths...

for once I agree with the dictactor

[Hash]

come on afridi we need a wicket now

[MIG]

Pak already bowled 2 extra overs so its 50 overs for India !

[sajjad]

these grls in ahmedabad a lot prettier than in the rest of india

[Officer Barbrady]

Pak already bowled 2 extra overs so its 50 overs for India !

We are fair people.

[Hydro]

16.1 Razzaq to Tendulkar, no run, outside off, beats the outside edge again, the classic leg cutter from Razzaq
jakka bowling decnet

[ali kc]

Razzaq bowling well .. !!

Come on Pakistan ...we need a wicket

[Hash]

another good over by Razzaq

2 overs for 4 runs he has gone for and beaten the edge a couple of times by the sound of things

[Hydro]

these grls in ahmedabad a lot prettier than in the rest of india

can the lob bricks though, that should be our question

[161]

too bad inzi didn't make the change sooner X) X)

[sajjad]

[Hydro]

[Hydro]

jakka doin well hes beating them and also containing them

[salmanbuttfan]

there hasnt been a boundry hit for 25 deliveries

[Hash]

another good over by Razzaq

3 overs for 7 runs and again beat the edge.

run rate down to 6. You just feel that something is going to give soon......either a big over or a wicket.

[salmanbuttfan]

36 deliveries, 6 overs since a boundry has been scored

[Hash]

run rate has fallen below 6 now. 5.85 and much of that is thanks to Razzaq. Well done Rizzy!

[sajjad]

rr just below 6 now
still very high for the wkt...
it shud be 4 4.5

Dhoni charging Razzaq here

[Hash]

sajjad- and failing miserably

5 off that Razzaq over.

razzaq got 4 overs for 12 runs

[sajjad]

sachin running on the pitch...run not recorded cause he has been warned earlier.

[sajjad]

thats disgusting stuff from sachin...

he has fallen on my eyes more and more of late

[octavian]

sachin has no excuse for that.

After all those years he still doesn't know where to run and where not ??

he did it on purpose. Disgraceful !!

[Officer Barbrady]

Stop them at 250 more than that will be difficult

[sajjad]

RR down to 5.57
need to bring it to below 5 and then get a couple of wkts

[sajjad]

aamir complaining abt inzi non stop

[Imy]

well why not the field placinggs has been awful

[sajjad]

more than the field placement
it was the bowling that gave away the easy runs...and all those extras

[sajjad]

A BIG SIX TO WELCOME KANERIA
