00:00Music
00:00Our coverage of the World Cup of Cricket continues here on Star Sports with highlights of India's first game in the competition.
00:18They take on Kenya in a Group A match played at Kattak, the beautiful Barabati Stadium on the east coast of India.
00:26One or two problems initially for the Indian side, a couple of stomach viruses around and also a thigh strain for their skipper Azruddin,
00:35but thankfully he's fit to play, he's 200th one day international.
00:39Kumbhli and Sidhu have both recovered, no place in the side for Kapoor and Ankala.
00:45No surprises too in the Kenyan line-up, one or two names I'm sure will be unfamiliar to you,
00:50but I'm sure we'll learn a lot more about the Kenyan side as we progress through the tournament.
00:56Well, Azruddin won the toss and contrary to expectation, put the Kenyans in, the first lesser side to actually bat first.
01:03We'll see how they got on.
01:04Commentary in the first over from Sunil Gavaskar and Tony Gregg.
01:11Trudasama on strike.
01:13Oh, and that swung in a long way.
01:15That started way outside off stump.
01:18Really did swing in a long way.
01:20Have another look at this one.
01:22Watch it start way outside off stump and ended up going down the leg side.
01:26Well, that's a good sign for India.
01:28Well, their field for this first over, two slips and a gully.
01:32They'll be hoping to get the Kenyans out really quickly.
01:35They're the two slips.
01:36Gully and then two men on the offside saving one.
01:40They've also got a third man down on the boundary.
01:41So that's the offside field.
01:43Cross on the onside.
01:45They're two men in front of square saving one.
01:47And you can see in the distance the fine leg field.
01:50But who's quite square?
01:50Well, there's the upswinger now.
01:54This really is very interesting.
01:56Not often these days do you see bowlers swing it both ways.
02:00We've seen two big in-swingers and now the upswinger.
02:05Well, yes, Manoj Prabhakar is a master of the swing.
02:09And he's added to his pace when he started his career.
02:13He was really gentle, medium pace.
02:15Oh, and that one bounced a little bit.
02:24That's what bowled.
02:24And a big cheer again from this crowd, Darren Katak.
02:31Well, it's still loosening up time for Srinath.
02:36And yet he's managed to get the ball to bounce appreciably.
02:41Getting the batsman into all kinds of trouble there.
02:43In these one-day matches, you're better off settling for one,
02:47making sure you control it.
02:49Might get away with it against these Kenyans,
02:51but against really top-class sides, it can be quite tough.
02:56Well, those are his World Cup figures.
02:59Around about four runs and over, he's conceding.
03:03And he's taken 21 wickets.
03:05So he's certainly had a lot of experience.
03:09And that's nicely played.
03:10Those are the first runs off the bat.
03:12Straight down the ground.
03:18Chudasama getting that straight drive away for two.
03:29In goes the throw.
03:30That's well done.
03:31And they're going to get overthrows.
03:33Just a little untidy by the Indians.
03:35They'll come back for another one, too.
03:36So, a run and two overthrows conceded.
03:42So three runs of that particular delivery.
03:44Oh, and that is a good delivery.
03:55That went over the top of off stump.
03:56Tried to cut it.
03:57And they don't often work.
03:59Well, far too early in the innings for Chudasama to be trying that kind of a shot.
04:04He's got two fielders in catching positions.
04:07He now has.
04:08And Chudasama, very, very fortunate that he didn't nick it.
04:13No percentage in playing that shot at all.
04:15Oh, and down the wicket.
04:24And, well, Prabaka giving a little message to the batter there.
04:28Get right back where you belong.
04:30That's the end of the over.
04:3011 without loss.
04:31So, Chudasama in the air.
04:37And, oh.
04:42It's an awkward delivery to play.
04:51Pretty strong offside field now for Chudasama.
04:57And it's in the air and over the top, too.
04:59Well played.
05:00That's running down towards the fence.
05:02This is an out, fast outfield.
05:03That's Kenya's first boundary in this World Cup.
05:06Well played.
05:09Yes, he picked that ball up very early.
05:12He saw that gap.
05:13And although he didn't quite get hold of it.
05:21Oh, this has got to be run out.
05:22If he hits, he's gone.
05:23He's missed it.
05:24Oh, the Indians.
05:26Well, all he had to do was toss it back to the fieldsman at mid-off.
05:30Who was very slow getting to the stumps.
05:32These are the little mistakes that could cost India the World Cup.
05:36They are going to have to make sure they're fielding his top class.
05:39Sonny, otherwise you won't get there, mate.
05:42Well, Greggy, you're just jumping the gun, aren't you?
05:44Oh, this is just their first match.
05:46Where are we talking about the World Cup?
05:49And difficult take for Venkatesh Passat coming in from mid-off.
05:54But we've seen that Otieno does like to charge down the wicket.
06:00Looking for the quick single.
06:02He's gone for it.
06:06And he's there.
06:07Right the way through.
06:08And he smashed that for four.
06:13Four more for Chudasama.
06:14End of the over.
06:1522 for no wicket.
06:20That looked pretty impressive.
06:21Well, he's improvised and he's gone away with it.
06:26Had to change his...
06:27But four more for Chudasama.
06:32Well, welcome runs these for Kenya.
06:34Deepak Chudasama again charging down the track.
06:37And Srinath giving him a little bit of room outside the off stump.
06:42And they say when you flash, flash hard.
06:48Yes, he's got that away.
06:50And there's four more.
06:53Well, he made his intention known early.
06:55Tanks his shot.
06:56Clever.
06:58Well, he seems to be out thinking the bowler.
07:00Deepak Chudasama again down the track to Prasad.
07:04And hooking him over square leg.
07:07Oh, well bowled.
07:15They fancy it.
07:16That was lively.
07:18End of the over.
07:1936 for no wicket.
07:24Chudasama's back on strike.
07:27Here he comes and he's got hold of that as well.
07:29And that's four more.
07:34Now it's beginning to get serious.
07:37Well, he made it look so easy again, Deepak Chudasama.
07:41No respect whatsoever for the bowler.
07:44But he's got it caught behind.
07:49Mongia takes the catch.
07:52And that's the end of a very, very enterprising start.
07:56Well, the wicket India wanted because Chudasama was looking dangerous in two minds here, whether to go through with his shot or no.
08:04And in the end, making it to the keeper.
08:09Here's the man for Kenya, Steve DiColo.
08:27Oh, top scorer for the last three years.
08:30So a lot on his shoulders.
08:31Down the wicket he goes.
08:34That's the way to play.
08:36They've got to get a move on.
08:37A little fumble at mid-off.
08:38But they won't get the second.
08:40In comes the throw.
08:41That's better India.
08:43There have been a few fumbles out there today.
08:44They've been working hard on their fielding and that was much better.
08:49A sense of urgency on that occasion.
08:53Nicely played.
08:54And that's gone through the field.
08:55Beautifully hit.
09:04Steve.
09:05In fact, it's Kennedy.
09:07Otieno driving down the ground there.
09:10And this place coming alive.
09:15That's well played.
09:17That is a short delivery and a lovely shot.
09:20Heaved over the top of mid-wicket.
09:22Down to the boundary there.
09:25Well, that's his most aggressive shot so far.
09:29Otieno getting stuck into that one.
09:31Very good shot.
09:38Is that another guy?
09:39That one.
09:39That'll be four as well.
09:40Beautifully played by Otieno.
09:43Down the wicket he goes.
09:45Wrapped that on the up.
09:46Right off the meat of his bat.
09:48Mid-on had no chance to get there.
09:50And the Kenyans are enjoying it.
09:57Oh, and that's out.
09:59Yes, I think that hit the top of the glove and the handle.
10:02And he's actually walked.
10:04So, that's the end of Kennedy Otieno trying to play the sweep shot out of frustration.
10:11The ball looked to me as if it partly gloved and partly handled the bat.
10:16Just went straight up in the air.
10:17A little dolly catch for Mongia.
10:21There's a top edge there onto the glove.
10:24And a very simple catch for Mongia.
10:27Otieno had been trying to score.
10:28He has been doing everything he possibly could.
10:30And another kid on bouncing too much.
10:34Kenyan 65 for two.
10:37So, the new batsman is the Kenyan captain.
10:39Morris Odumbi.
10:46Lovely looking shot.
10:50Superb piece of fielding there.
10:52He's only a little fella, but he's got a lot of strength in that arm of his.
11:04And Azar has to be complimented for keeping fielders with fine arms on the fence,
11:08because that can mean the difference between two or one.
11:14He's just got something on that.
11:16Maybe just as well.
11:16It looked pretty straight to me.
11:17But he's got it round for four.
11:21And the first bit of initiative for some time comes off.
11:24But it was mighty close.
11:36And that's a loose delivery from Sachin Tendulkar.
11:38And Steve Ticolo has been long enough to deal with deliveries like that.
11:43No problem in dispatching it over Square Lake for four.
11:45Here's Rankful toss that one.
11:49And they should be hit for four.
11:50And this one was.
11:52You'll be a little careful.
11:52You don't hit it down the fieldsman's throat.
11:54He didn't.
11:55Got the gap down there at backwards square leg.
11:58So, four more to the tunnel.
12:03Over the top goes Steve Ticolo.
12:05He had to take his chance.
12:08And Mohan Jawagal Srinath pits that ball up.
12:10He went through with the shot.
12:12And had no problem in clearing mid-off for four runs.
12:15Yes, that's brought them alive down there.
12:17That wasn't a bad shot.
12:18Didn't quite middle it.
12:19I'd like to have gone a little bit further with it.
12:21But have a look at this back and across.
12:23And he went through with it.
12:24Good job too.
12:25Otherwise it might have popped up to mid-off.
12:27Got it over the top of his head.
12:29Hitted well enough for it to run down to the fence for four.
12:32Yes, I think the Indians can hear the noise out there now.
12:34They're getting it a little restless.
12:36They want a wicket or two.
12:36And again, but this time, Ticolo gets it away to long off.
12:47And that's his half century.
12:50Fine innings.
12:51His first game in the World Cup.
12:53And he surely will be a very happy man.
12:56And there's a good answer.
13:00Over the top.
13:02There's six.
13:07That certainly was a good blow.
13:09Stephen Ticolo has been carrying the fight to the Indians.
13:17Using his feet well there.
13:18That was a very good shot.
13:21Straight through the line of the ball.
13:23And well over long off.
13:28Beautiful footwork.
13:30And there's the result.
13:32Now then.
13:35He's got that away.
13:37And that could well be four.
13:39It is.
13:43And this is just what the doctor owed.
13:51Well, Ticolo has been scoring runs all over the park.
13:55Not afraid to lose his feet and to go down and hit over the top.
13:57And that was a very delicate tickle down to Pine Lake.
14:07He's got it.
14:07No.
14:08It's a replay.
14:13Adumbe making a wild swing.
14:17And Katie Francis wants to have another look.
14:20I think Umpire Francis was about to give him out and then decided to out to the third Umpire.
14:24Let's have a look.
14:25Yes, I thought his finger went up.
14:27It would be interesting to have a look at his body language.
14:30He's out.
14:30He's out.
14:31No doubt about it.
14:36I'm afraid a good innings has come to an end.
14:40I think Umpire Francis was definitely sure that he was out but just decided to ask for the third Umpire just to be sure.
14:59There he goes.
15:00There he goes.
15:01Well out of his crease.
15:02The bills are off long before the bat is back down.
15:05It's 1-6 to 1 for 3, Kenya.
15:06It's 1-6 to 1 for 3, Kenya.
15:07It's 1-6 to 1 for 3, Kenya.
15:08It's 1-6 to 1 for 3, Kenya.
15:09Left-handed batter, off spinner, and he's into the fray now.
15:19But that didn't last long.
15:23Arthur Rudin takes the catch and another wicket for Kunda.
15:31Raju it is, of course.
15:35His first ball of this next over.
15:36And he takes his second wicket.
15:40So many times when a partnership is broken, the other batsman goes quickly as well.
15:46To call on the Tinto, accelerate the scoring rate.
15:49He's gone.
15:50Kenya 1-6 to 1 for 4.
15:52Thomas Bedoya is the new batsman.
15:55Just about to face his first delivery.
15:57Just 17 years of age.
15:59The youngest player in the whole World Cup competition.
16:02A couple here.
16:03Tendulka coming in quickly.
16:04Making them hurry.
16:05But they're through.
16:06Kenyon is not afraid to run.
16:07Two.
16:08Once the ball beats the inner circle.
16:09Not a very long way out there.
16:10But they are constantly on the move.
16:11No hesitation.
16:12And once you don't hesitate.
16:13Two.
16:14Always there.
16:16It's up in the air.
16:17And he's gone.
16:18Bat and pad.
16:19Jadeja takes the catch.
16:20And now.
16:21It has a totally different complexity.
16:22It's up in the air.
16:23And he's gone.
16:24Bat and pad.
16:25Jadeja takes the catch.
16:26And now.
16:27It has a totally different complexion about it.
16:28165 for 5.
16:29And Gumbly.
16:30Once more.
16:31Amongst the wickets.
16:32Left handed.
16:33Mordy.
16:34Playing for a leg spin there.
16:35Expecting the ball to come back into him.
16:36And Gumbly.
16:37It's up in the air.
16:38And he's gone.
16:39It's up in the air.
16:40And he's gone.
16:41Bat and pad.
16:42Jadeja takes the catch.
16:43And now.
16:44It has a totally different complexion about it.
16:47165 for 5.
16:48And Gumbly.
16:49Once more.
16:50Amongst the wickets.
16:51Left handed.
16:52Mordy.
16:53Playing for a leg spin there.
16:54Expecting the ball to come back into him.
16:55Went away from him.
16:56Hit the outside.
16:57Edge of the back.
16:58Almost a leading edge.
16:59And just lobbing up onto the offside.
17:00165 for 5.
17:01Kenya.
17:02And we see.
17:03Steven Tekelda.
17:04Here's his brother.
17:05David.
17:06Seven years his elder.
17:07Oh he's hit that one down the ground.
17:08It's going in the air.
17:09It's going in the air.
17:10It's going to be out caught.
17:11Easily caught.
17:12Yes.
17:13He's got him.
17:14That's the end of him.
17:15That was up in the air.
17:16Just for a second.
17:17I didn't think he'd pick the ball.
17:19Prebarka got underneath it.
17:20Went to his left of the back.
17:22He was picked up against Takao.
17:23He was picked up against it.
17:24It's going on a dollar.
17:25He was caught.
17:26He was on a dollar.
17:27He had to go.
17:28He has to go.
17:29He is a quarterback.
17:30He is a quarterback.
17:31He is.
17:32He has to be caught.
17:33He is acting.
17:34He is played against the hook.
17:35got underneath it, went to his left a little bit, and eventually he made the catch. So
17:42Adoya caught in the deep. I'll tell you one thing, Tony. Manoj Prabhakar there signalling
17:48that he didn't pick the ball up. His heart must have been beating really hard because
17:52he's been having a hard time there from the crowd, but judging it to a nicety and then
17:58signalling that he didn't quite see it. Kenia, 184 for six. Asif Karim is the new batsman,
18:0632 years of age. He's the vice-captain. Tito Odumbe on strike. Well, that's well played.
18:13He's got that one away very fine, and that'll go to the fence for four. They need to form
18:16a few more of those. Well, I've got to say he was trying to get it away in that direction.
18:21Just moved back a little bit and tried to nudge it fine, and that's exactly what happened.
18:25Here we go. The last ball of the innings. He's had a big go, and at least missed it.
18:35Well, that's the end of their innings, and they've ended up with 199 for six off the 50 overs.
18:41I suppose, to a degree, they'll be just a little disappointed with that, having got off to
18:45such a solid start, but their run rate was always way below three, and they weren't,
18:52Sonny, able to finish off for the flourish.
18:55So, 199, yet again, one of the four lesser-playing countries that bat through their 50 overs,
19:00and at 199, so far, the highest total amongst the likes of Netherlands, Zimbabwe,
19:05and the United Arab Emirates.
19:06Quite a good start. The first four batsmen all seemingly getting set, 29-27 for the two openers.
19:13Stephen Ticcolo top-scored with 65 off 83 deliveries. I thought Odumbi was going to go well
19:19until he was very sharply stumped by Mongia off Kumbli's bowling, but then when it got to
19:24the business end, the last ten overs, the wickets started to fall, six of them in all.
19:29As far as the bowling figures are concerned, three for 28, Kumbli, the best of those.
19:33Two wickets for Raju, one for 41 by Prasad.
19:38And overall, perhaps the attacker not quite living up to the expectations of the Indian fans.
19:44They'll have to do a lot better in the batting. I'm sure they will.
19:47We'll see how they respond with a target of 200 when we come back after this break.
19:59The Indian innings is about to begin.
20:04Short delivery, played away beautifully on the onside.
20:08Dedeja has got it away for four.
20:12First ball and listen to the crowd.
20:14What a start for India.
20:20That's well played.
20:21Into the gap.
20:21He's got it through as well.
20:22It's rolling down the fence.
20:23This will get to the boundary.
20:25So Sachin Tendulkar off with the four as well.
20:29So both batsmen have opened their scoring with boundaries.
20:31A lovely piece of timing here from Sachin Tendulkar.
20:37Just rocked back onto that back foot and just eased it through the offside.
20:41A bit of missed field, but this outfield is so quick that it still went to the fence for four.
20:46That really should do his confidence in the world of good.
20:54Into the gap.
20:54That's four as well.
20:55Beautiful shot.
20:56Lovely cover drive.
20:58Racing across the outfield.
20:59And it's brought all the Indians in this ground to their feet.
21:08Well, he's got that away.
21:10It's in the air.
21:10That's going to go for six.
21:12No, it's just short.
21:14Well, it was just short of a length on leg stump.
21:16You can't bowl there to anybody.
21:18He's picked that one up beautifully and bounced it over the line almost to six.
21:2424 without loss.
21:25Well, it's nicely played by Tendulkar.
21:29He's blasted that one through the onside field again.
21:32Lovely timing.
21:34And just wide of the fields.
21:35And this is the difference between ordinary and class players.
21:39Class players hit the balls into the gaps.
21:44Edward Odumbe learning here early not to bowl on leg stump to any of these Indians.
21:50Because once it spits there, you see Sachin Tendulkar.
21:55Rolling his wrist there.
21:56Beautifully playing it on the onside.
22:03Just drops that left shoulder away just a little bit quickly.
22:08Well, that's a magnificent shot.
22:13As he hit it, I thought it was just going to run out to mid on.
22:17And it just ran all the way to the boundary.
22:19Just watch this.
22:20This is a magnificent piece of timing by Tendulkar.
22:23He just stood up there and just pushed at the ball.
22:26And it beats mid on quite comfortably.
22:29This is unbelievable.
22:30He just leant back and almost looked as if he was playing a defensive push there.
22:34And all of a sudden, the fieldsman was scrambling.
22:38That is what they call timing.
22:44Really good timing.
22:49Oh, he's got that away too.
22:50He's on fire.
22:51Tendulkar has smashed this one into the gap at mid-wicket.
22:54And that's gone for four as well.
22:56He's not going to waste any time.
22:59What a player.
22:59Very strong around that leg stump area is Sachin Tendulkar.
23:07And a moment Martin Suji straight around that area.
23:10No problem at all.
23:17He's got that one over the infield.
23:18And that will go down to the fence as well.
23:21There's no way in the world you can ball short to Tendulkar.
23:25And that's one of his favourite shots.
23:29He picks it up so early.
23:32And with the man in at fine leg.
23:35Once he got into position, he had no problem in getting the placement right.
23:45So quick to get onto that back foot to Sachin Tendulkar.
23:49He's just picked it up from...
23:51Just shot him a leg, but made a nonsense of it.
23:53Fantastic play from an amazing player.
23:58And four more for Tendulkar.
24:04Just watch this.
24:06Not much short of a leg, but his eye is so good.
24:10He murdered it.
24:12And even for you, Tarek, watching this, it must be a thrill.
24:15Oh, yes, it is a thrill.
24:16Sachin, I think, or probably...
24:18Not really a thing.
24:20I think he's the best batsman in the world today.
24:21Another staggering shot.
24:30Immense power.
24:32And through the infield.
24:34At one heck of a rate.
24:35And that for the old go as well.
24:48Not much movement with the foot, but the bat came flashing down.
24:53And there's four more.
24:54Versace and Tendulkar.
24:55At the end of the over.
24:56At the end of the over.
24:5667 for no record.
25:03Good shot by Tendulkar.
25:07Wide off the off stump by Ali.
25:10Beautifully timed.
25:11Beautifully placed.
25:12Well, again here, Raja Bali giving Tendulkar the room outside the off stump.
25:23And he had absolutely no problem in getting that front foot out and smashing it through the covers.
25:28Fitting it on the up in the end.
25:29That one right at the end of the bat was that wide.
25:47Another four.
25:49This time a full toss.
25:51And quite easily dispatched again.
25:53End of the 16th over.
25:59It's 8-5 without loss.
26:02And there it is.
26:04Beautiful shot by Sachin Tendulkar.
26:06And what a way to bring up that centre partnership.
26:09Opening partnership of 100 runs in just the 20th over.
26:15What a nice way to start the Wills World Cup for India.
26:18Opening stand of 100 runs.
26:20And here, a moment, David Ciccolo pits the ball up.
26:22Sachin Tendulkar thrashes this through the covers.
26:26He's been in there long enough.
26:29To know how to handle those deliveries.
26:32That's a good shot.
26:35The team theoretically against the spin.
26:38Not that there's a lot of spin out there for Asif Karim.
26:43But well placed.
26:43This really is a fine shot by Ajay Jadeja.
26:49It's the footwork that's made the shot possible.
26:51Down the track.
26:53And hitting it wide overhead on.
26:54Four runs, moment, it left the bat.
26:57Lovely use of his feet here.
26:59What a shot.
27:06Beautiful.
27:06Beautiful.
27:10No point in moving after hitting shots like that.
27:13A glorious cover drive, that from Tendulkar.
27:20The man at cover and mid-off.
27:22Can only be spectators.
27:25Puts right to the pitch of the ball and bang.
27:28Through the covers for more.
27:29The captain, Noisat Dumbe, coming on.
27:36The captain, Noisat Dumbe, who made 26 himself.
27:46Batted well.
27:47Terrific partnership with Steve Decombe.
27:53But that's one heck of an introduction.
27:55That's way, way over the top of the scene.
27:58That's six.
27:59Welcome to Qatar.
28:01Ajay Jadeja is probably saying to himself,
28:06it's about time I also got into the act.
28:09He's been quite happy to take the ones and the twos
28:11and give the strike to Sachin Tendulkar,
28:15who's been finding the gap with such irregularity.
28:20Lovely use of the feet there by Ajay Jadeja.
28:23He moves on to 40.
28:28Ajay Jadeja!
28:30That must be close.
28:32Full toss.
28:38Well, Jadeja's eyes must have really popped open.
28:40He saw that inviting full toss.
28:42There was a big gap.
28:43There's no fielder on the mid-wicket fence.
28:46Tried to go for that particular spot.
28:49Missed it.
28:51Too anxious, I think.
28:53Asif Karim to Jadeja.
28:57There's one.
28:58And that's enough.
29:00And that's enough.
29:04His half-century in 76 balls,
29:07five fours,
29:08and that big six off Adumbe.
29:11Well done.
29:17He's had a go at that one.
29:18Moved back and then pulled it away on the onside.
29:20It's gone down to deep, but wicket for one.
29:22Will they come back for the serve?
29:23Settle for one.
29:26I think the problem there is Tony is Ajay Jadeja is struggling.
29:29When it comes to running between the wickets,
29:31he seems to have a cramp.
29:35But the crowd certainly won't mind that
29:37because they've got Tendul going straight.
29:39Oh, he's hit that one high,
29:48and it's going to be caught.
29:49It's on the fence.
29:50Will he catch this one?
29:51It'll be a good catch.
29:51He's got him.
29:54He's picked it up in the deep.
29:57Ali, the fieldsman back there,
29:58has gone running around
29:59and made a pretty good catch, too.
30:02Rajiv Ali went a long, long way at Madan.
30:06He ended up catching it at very wide, Madan,
30:08and that's brought an end
30:10to Ajay Jadeja's innings.
30:15Well, not quite getting hold of this one.
30:17Losing his patience, finally,
30:19and Rajiv Ali doing a very good job here,
30:21keeping his eyes on the ball
30:22and taking the catch in the end.
30:23So India loses its first wicket,
30:25163 runs on the ball.
30:29So Navjot Sidhu, the new man in.
30:40At the fall of Ajay Jadeja's wicket.
30:43Very impressive one-day international record
30:46for Navjot Sidhu.
30:4793 matches, over 3,000 runs,
30:51and look at that average, 42.80.
30:54This really is good stuff.
30:56Career best of 134 versus England
30:58in 92-93,
31:00and that really was a match-winning innings.
31:03Yes, he's got an overall strike rate of 73.
31:06There are about 73 runs per 100 wickets,
31:07and that's his World Cup record.
31:09Just eight matches in the World Cup
31:10so far in his career,
31:11an average of 55.
31:12That's not bad.
31:17He's apparently a very good player of spinners.
31:19Well, that is the last quarter of the wicket taking over
31:28from Arsif Karim.
31:30Let's have another look at that wicket.
31:32He tossed it up a little bit,
31:33and he did go for it,
31:35tried to get it wide over deep long on,
31:37and watch this for some ground, mate.
31:38He really did come a long way down there
31:40and eventually took it up against his chest.
31:43That's a good catch.
31:4353 off 86 balls.
31:54Only about 10 metres short of the fence, that one.
31:57Just a little bit more,
31:58and it would have been over the top.
32:01Oh, they've asked the question.
32:04Everyone's holding that up,
32:05and they cannot believe it.
32:07Well, I'd like to see that replay.
32:10Well, the Kenyans definitely thought
32:14they'd got Sachin Tendulkar here.
32:19Must have just come off the bat,
32:21but definitely the decision going in favour of the batsman.
32:25He's going to have to go.
32:28This is him on his way.
32:29Gets sent back.
32:30In comes the throw,
32:31and it very nearly takes his head off.
32:34Well, they're putting some pressure on.
32:35This is good cricket from the guys from Kenya.
32:39Well, this really is exciting stuff.
32:40Put pressure on Tendulkar.
32:43They've got the field in,
32:44not allowing him to take that single.
32:47So, even after getting 99,
32:49he's got to earn that one run.
32:52That's well bowled.
32:54Well, this is good cricket from them.
32:56They've brought the fieldsman in.
32:57They're saving the one.
32:58They're looking very energetic.
33:00They're not going to get an easy single here,
33:01that's for sure.
33:07Absolutely riveted.
33:08Well bowled.
33:10That's a good ball, Asif.
33:14That's it, Asif.
33:21There we are.
33:22So far, so good.
33:26And another dot ball.
33:27There we are.
33:41All the Norths.
33:44That's a very good over.
33:47He's on 99.
33:53Never scored 100 in World Cup cricket.
33:59And he's dragging it out for him.
34:03And what's more?
34:04He didn't let it go.
34:05A little bit of gamesmanship out there.
34:07All right, Norris.
34:09I don't think he'll be off the pressure.
34:11Give me a chisel, man.
34:13No, no.
34:16Sachin Tendulkar dearly wanting that single,
34:18but the ball didn't come.
34:19He's got that away.
34:25Oh, that's it.
34:39A tremendous performance by Sessions Endulkar.
34:43His first 100 in World Cup cricket.
34:46His fifth in one-day internationals.
34:47And his fans are loving every second of it.
34:56Oh, he's hit this one.
34:57And he's going to be outcourt.
34:58It's coming down.
34:59Got him.
35:00Oh, he's got him.
35:01Yes.
35:03That was a long, long way down there.
35:07It went high in the air.
35:09And it looked like Martin Suzy down there
35:12who took the catch.
35:15So Suzy took the catch.
35:16And that's the end of Sidhu.
35:21Well, Sidhu had been bogged down
35:23for quite some time here.
35:25Losing his concentration down the track,
35:27trying to hit it over the top.
35:29Not quite getting hold of it.
35:30And Suzy making no mistake.
35:33So second Indian wicket gone.
35:34167 runs on the board.
35:37Benu Kambli, the left-hander.
35:39The Indian left-hander is the new batsman.
35:41167 for two.
35:43They need 200 to win this match.
35:46That's gone a long way and very straight indeed.
35:57That's four more.
35:59The 10-day-thous.
35:59The best place to hit straight over the bowler's head.
36:06You can't really set the field for that.
36:10Hit the ball straight.
36:12And you will be playing in safe territory.
36:16The 10-day-thous.
36:17It's gone.
36:21That's gone.
36:23Found the gap.
36:24Beautiful to Tendulkar.
36:25There's a man out behind Square
36:27and one in front of Square.
36:30It's 182 for two.
36:34Tendulkar really in full swing.
36:36it's gone up a long way it isn't going to carry it's caught without Campbell is gone
36:49trying to clear a long off likes to do not quite making it
36:54David Ticolo the man taking the catch at long off
36:58and how often have we seen a batsman getting out when a single has been refused
37:07Kambli losing his patience going for the big hit and a well just cast there by David Ticolo
37:16so that's an unnecessary wicket again India 182 for three Nayan Mongia the new man into India
37:24and they're just stuttering a bit here getting close to victory
37:39that's a big hit it's going going gone
37:46that's the way to hit over the top Tendulkar says
37:54and a little bit of a worry there because after he hit that shot hitting with the spin
38:01high into the crowd Tendulkar was catching the back of his leg just a bit of cramp perhaps
38:09a little tickle this time
38:20from a powerful blow over mid wicket for a flying tickle down the finally
38:27i'm not really surprised michael Ticolo was asking for a tickle
38:31and there it is a full toss on leg storm quite easily dispatched by mungia
38:44Tendulkar hasn't hit the winning run but he was quite pleased with his performance today
38:49a brilliant century very convincing victory by India
38:54so a terrific start by the openers from India
38:57Jadeja getting 53 off 86 deliveries a tweak of a hamstring and i think that caused him to throw
39:03the bat and eventually get out Tendulkar carrying his bat through at 127 not out
39:09i don't think Sidhu or Kamli will be too pleased with the way they followed in the same pursuit of
39:15Jadeja going for one and two respectively mungia not out for eight getting the winning runs
39:21the Kenyans used eight bowlers as if Kareem the only one competing 10 overs he took one 27 no doubt
39:28at all about the man of the match Sachin Tendulkar wonderful to see the man operating absolutely at
39:35full steam and i'm sure that's what the Indian audience wanted India winning eventually by seven
39:40wickets well that was the end of their first match in the tournament i'm sure that's given them
39:45great heart for the rest of the tournament there's more cricket to come after this
39:50all right
39:58so
40:06you
