Here are the highlights of the Australian Innings!
See the wickets fall. See the sexy fast bowling from the Indian Bowlers!
I LOVE it when our bowlers clean bowl the opposition batsmen. The ball is released, it swings through the air, in-between the bat and the pad, CLEAN BOWLED!
The MIDDLE STUMP TAKES A WALK! :D
Thats what happened to Gilchrist! That was a classic delivery.
It nearly gave me an erection (being an ex-student and fan of physics!).
Because of that one delivery I will forgive Shreesanth his (sometimes) idiotic behavior and (occassional) lack of control (both over the ball and his temper).
Hayden, lost his wicket to a wild slog shot (trying to intimidate Sreesanth) and that made me want to run naked through the streets of Bristol (Thank God I can't do anything like that now!)
The Pathan Delivery (the one that got us the match) to get rid of Symonds. Intelligent bowling. Tempt Symonds with the width and yet not throw it all that wide (so that it doesn't miss the stumps!). Great stuff from the experienced bowler. He needs to be back in the team now!
Then the Bhajji yorker, right in the block-hole with a bit of flight! SWEET! UMMMMMM
The icing on the cake was the on-the-sweetspot yorker from Sharma making the Leg Stump take a walk!
I heard a familiar song during the game, being played on the ground. It was being played during the Australian Onslaught. It is a song by Men At Work - The Land Down Under. But it should be used for India after their performance yesterday!
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder? You better run, you better take cover!
:D
Land Down Under Lyrics
» Men At Work
Traveling in a fried-out combie
On a hippie trail, head full of zombie
I met a strange lady, she made me nervous
She took me in and gave me breakfast
And she said,
"Do you come from a land down under?
Where women glow and men plunder?
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover."
Buying bread from a man in Brussels
He was six foot four and full of muscles
I said, "Do you speak-a my language?"
He just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich
And he said,
"I come from a land down under
Where beer does flow and men chunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover."
Lying in a den in Bombay
With a slack jaw, and not much to say
I said to the man, "Are you trying to tempt me
Because I come from the land of plenty?"
And he said,
"Oh! Do you come from a land down under? (oh yeah yeah)
Where women glow and men plunder?
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover."
Oh and a final note:
The FIRST ICC MINI WORLD CUP was held in SA/Zimbabwe and India reached the Final after defeating both Australia AND South-Africa. Their Final match was against New Zealand which they lost.
This time for the FIRST ICC 20/20 WORLD CUP (again held in SA), India has reached the Final after defeating both Australia AND South-Africa. Their Final match WOULD have been against New Zealand but they lost to Pakistan.
Thus for the ICC 20/20 WC for the FIRST TIME, INDIA AND PAKISTAN are going to face off in the Finals of a MAJOR INTERNATIONAL TOURNAMENT.
