   India 202 for 6 at the end of 48 th over

Score at 17:45 GMT on 11 Dec

  SA/Ind ODI 3

    India is 52 for no loass (Jadeja and Raman batting) in 18 overs in reply to
SA's 214 for 5 in 50 overs.
Wessela out bowled Kumble for 34, after he and Hudson put up 92 runs for the
first wicket in 23 overs. Hudson went on to score 87, he was unnecessairily run
out short of his century. Calahan and Macmillan had a good partnership and
Calahan was not out for 32.

Two runs for a noball:

    TCCB is propsing that there will be two run penalty for a noball next
English season for their domestic cricket, and for Ashes series if Australia
agrees.

Hi,
Yesterday I posted the averages so far for the S. Africa v. India test
series. I have since had a request that I post the up to date career averages
for the teams. I would be quite willing to calculate these. However, I only
have the career averages up to date to last winter. I have the full scorecards
for the current test series in S. Africa and Australia but I don't have
scorecards for any matches between last winter and these series. If anyone could
send me the full scorecards for some or all of these games I, and many other
statistics mad people, would be very grateful. If I manage to get hold of
all the matches for any particular team then I shall post the up to date
averages as soon as possible. Unfortunately I'll be away at christmas so it
may have to wait until mid-january unless I get very quick feedback.

Rob.

P.S. Scores from matches involving any countries (not just S. Africa or India)
would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

The posts on the net say that India scored 207 for 4 and Azhar made 80-odd,
and Shastri 21 off 18 balls.  Then, there is the info in Dr. Rao's .plan
which says that India made 160-odd all out, with Azhar making 49 and Shastri
17 off 32 balls.  Which one is correct?  Or are they both correct, and for
different matches (then I am *more* confused!!).

Well...  he can say whatever he wants to.  And if he feels the
schedule is unfavourable, he has every right to.  He has "sporting"
written all over him: he loves the game and shows it at all times by
his intensity.

Just because you want to put country-originating prejudices into the
equation does not allow you to paint Javed Miandad, one of the
greatest batters EVER, as "unsporting"...

India batted first (Wessels won the toss this time) and scored

SA passed the total in the 49th over for the loss of 4 wickets.

Indian batting again gave their bowlers nothing to defend.  Kapil
seems to have an injury.  He did not complete his 10 overs before
leaving the field limping.

Stay well,

From memory Canterbury finished with 221. This was a good win for the Dutch
side over a near full-strength Canterbury team (and we all know Canterbury is
the home of NZ cricket :-)). The report I read said that accurate bowling from
the Dutch seamers kept Canterbury in check and they were unable to push the
scoring along early in the innings - and when they tried later wickets tumbled.

Looks like a highly successful tour by the Dutch team and on this showing it's
hard to see them missing out on a World Cup berth when the competition is
expanded.

    I was listening to Harsha Bogle's report on the sixth and the fifth ODIs
(BBC Sports Roundup).

     After the fifth one in which SA clinched the series, Bogle said that the
series is now at 4-1, a true measure of the respective teams.

      Yesterday, after the sixth game he says: The result was a foregone
conclusion after the toss. If anybody was expecting a contest, they got the
script wrong.

      What gives?

A few weeks ago, gharpure@power.psl.ee.vt.edu stated that Duleepsinhji
had scored a century on debut. This is not quite accurate.

Duleepsinhji scored 173 against Australia at Lords in 1930 in his
first test against Australia. Caught Bradman bowled Grimmett 173.
This was not his first test, merely the first against Aus. He had
earlier played 1 test vs South Africa and 3 vs NZ in 1929.
Cardus mentions a leg glance that reminded us "who his uncle was" and
reports that Duleepsinhji gave chances at 65 and 98.

It seem to me that both India and SA are good at chasing target but neither
are capable of setting a good target therefore whoever wins the toss has
an advantage.

A good team should be able to both set a target and chase a target and the
top order Indian batsmen are failing to score quick runs at the beginning.

In my opinion it's about time either Kapil or Prabhakar came to open India's
batting innings.

Azhar is a fine world class batsman but he has failed to often to score runs
under the burden of captancy.

Originally Kapil was going to be selected for captancy but the new selector
Gundapa Runga Viswanath (our old vishy) kept faith in Azhar for one more
series.

I don't think that there will be any changes to capatancy during this tour
though Kapil will be consulted in most of the decisions. He is the most senior
ODI player in the world with nearly 160 ODIs (i think) and also he has got the
most wickets in ODIs.

Sure Akram has good timing, but what really helps him a lot is his incredible 
upper body strength.No he did not swat Sharma for 4 sixes in 5 balls. Instead
he hit him for 3 sixes in 3 balls at Nagpur. He went on to take 27 from that
fateful over.One was a straight six which he hit with phenomenal power and the
other two were just lifted over midwicket effortlessly.
