Nehra,Yuvraj knock NZ out- cricinfo says so

yeah didn't you see our frontline spinner Yuvraj singh pick up 3 wickets to knock the stuffings out the Kiwi middle order.
Too bad the wicket wasn't seaming, Harbhajan might have picked up a few then.
I guess, NC was right about the one-dayers being 30 overs too many for the Kiwis.
They seem to be struggling to get past 200 this series.
156 wasn't gonna be much of a bother.
But the chase was a bit of a crawl
Even though Karthik fell early, Sachin looked fairly comfortable. But the problem was Dravid, found it difficult to either score but get off the strike. Somehow, i believe, that ploy of Dravid providing stability might just backfire while chasing a larger total

India did get over the line, but 40 overs to chase down 156 was a little excruciating to watch.

Well, now that the incompetent side is out, let's hope the big boys put up a better show.
So long Dan, thanks for coming.

Som,
i just hope it isn't.

Purna,
going by the total put up by the Lankans, its gonna be a tough one.
All depends on how the chase begins, the first 15 will decide the outcome

Purna said...

Tough one did you say Prafs? Som was right..it was yawn-fest all throughout.

Except for the times an Indian batsman fell. Which was frequently.

Purna,
well, i for one, was too busy cursing everyone to be bothered about yawning.
Did sleep through the middle overs though
