00:00Hello and welcome to Sharjah. This is the final of the Coca-Cola Cup and the participating nations are India and Australia. If they provide us with a match similar to the one on Wednesday night, I can assure you we're in for a great treat.
00:19A big crowd in already, a big crowd by Sharjah standards, absolutely jam-packed, 20,000 people in already, even before a ball is bowled. Others queuing outside, trying to get in in the vain hope of being able to purchase a ticket. The ones inside are the lucky ones at the moment.
00:36The Indian captain, I've offered him congratulations first for winning the toss, hopefully at the end of the day for winning the match, but he's taken the decision to feel first.
00:45Same side for the Australians, Ravi.
00:48Yes, Mark Waugh, Adam Gilchrist, Ricky Ponting, Michael Bevan, Steve Waugh, Darren Lehman in the bowling, Shane Warne, Kasparovic, Fleming, great depth in the batting line-up Australia.
00:58They have lots of bowlers as well and a very well-organized unit.
01:02The Indian team, two changes there. Rahul Sang, we're getting a game here and nice to see Ajita Agarkar back in the side.
01:07The atmosphere is electric. The match is about to get underway. War is on strike. Sanat is on the way to bowl the first ball.
01:19Oh, and that one drags back off the stumps. Very nearly a dramatic start.
01:25Just a lazy sort of shot there from Mark Waugh, just taking the bat away from the ball,
01:29and it actually hit the bat and then just deflected down past the stumps.
01:32Let's have a look at this one. It just nipped back a long way and actually was very close.
01:42Oh, good shot. Beautiful cover drive. That's where he likes them.
01:46Well pitched up, and he's driven that through the covers for Paul.
01:49I think the idea was right. He was just a little full with the delivery.
01:52The first real contact in the middle of the bat for the Australians.
02:00Gilchrist, a wonderful striker of the ball.
02:02Any of the batsmen at this level can play the game. There's no doubt about that.
02:05And you give them any room at all, just let them free the arms up for a full flow of the bat,
02:10and that's what you're going to get.
02:11Oh, nice straight drive again. That's what he's best at.
02:18He really does love it. Up there and quite straight.
02:21Actually, that was a good shot. He hit that one on the up.
02:24Well, I think this is the thing that you need at the top of the order,
02:27and this is what Joe Asuriya has done with Sri Lanka so much in recent years.
02:31And I think a few teams have been lulled into a false sense of security
02:35with regard to the fast scoring in the early overs.
02:38And they've tried to pick batsmen who just go out there and slog the ball.
02:45There's that cut shot. Well fielded.
02:48Muhammad Azradin in the gully. He's moved from second slip to gully.
02:53Quite fancy getting Gilchrist in that area.
02:55He does cut in the air a little bit, but he cuts firmly.
02:58But this was well fielded.
03:01Very good fielder wherever he is, Muhammad Azradin.
03:05Oh, he's got him. He's out. Caught behind.
03:10Well, the youngster has dropped.
03:12That's a huge record for India.
03:15Mark Waugh, who played so well in these big matches,
03:19has gone off for a wide delivery.
03:22Huge nick.
03:23And Mongia doesn't drop many.
03:25He's snaffled in.
03:28Mark Waugh won't want to see this replay.
03:30It was a wide delivery. He normally hits them for four.
03:32Well, it wasn't the best ball at Agarca's Bowl,
03:35but it's turned out to be a magic delivery.
03:38Steve Waugh caught by surprise with the width and pace.
03:41He's out for seven.
03:42Mongia taking the catch.
03:44The first Australian wicket falls with 18 on the board.
03:50Ricky Ponting replacing Mark Waugh.
03:53He's the new batsman.
03:54Oh, he's gone.
04:00He's gone.
04:00He's gone behind.
04:01Well, that's a big blow.
04:05Ricky Ponting played at a wide delivery.
04:08Another bad shot.
04:10The Australians are in trouble.
04:14Prasad bowled a wide delivery.
04:16It may have moved just a little bit,
04:18but I got the feeling that Ponting was really reaching for it.
04:22That's a huge blow.
04:24Well, a little bit of tension out there,
04:26and the Australians have suffered a little bit,
04:28but Prasad has bowled very well.
04:30It's been a great start by him.
04:33He's in his third over, and he's got one for one.
04:35Ponting's out for one.
04:36The Australians 19 for two.
04:38Tom Moody's a new batsman.
04:46Prasad is the bowler.
04:48He's running into him now.
04:49Moody's been promoted.
04:53Watchfully played.
05:02Oh, well played.
05:03He's such a good player outside of Stumpf.
05:05They're going to have to rethink their line to Gilchrist.
05:08That's his third boundary.
05:11Well, the beauty is he's such a good player that there is no room.
05:14You can't bowl on his legs.
05:16You can't bowl outside his off stump.
05:18You can't be too full, and you can't be too short.
05:20Now, Adam Gilchrist might keep with, you know,
05:23have the gloves on when the team's fielding.
05:28Only 19 years of age.
05:30Oh, outside the off stump, and there's a big appeal.
05:32They're asking the question.
05:33The umpire's not interested in it.
05:35The Indians reckon they've got it.
05:40Well, he's consulting.
05:42This could be out.
05:42I think he's on his way.
05:44I think he's going to say he's out.
05:46The Indians reckon they've got him.
05:47Maybe underneath the bat, the bottom of the bat.
05:55The fieldsman at slip suggested that it's carried.
06:00Have another look at it again.
06:01Look at the bottom of the bat.
06:02It's kept low.
06:04Right down low.
06:05Does it carry?
06:06Yes, it does.
06:06It's out.
06:07There's no doubt about that.
06:08As long as he's hit the ball.
06:10And up she goes.
06:13The wicket keeper wasn't appealing.
06:15Oh, wow.
06:18I think Tom Moody might be a bit unlucky.
06:20Well, the Indians are really making it count.
06:27Let's have a look.
06:29Watch the keeper.
06:30He catches it.
06:31No reaction from Mongia.
06:32Now, if ever anyone appeals in the game of cricket, Mongia is the man who appeals.
06:39He appeals his head off at any given opportunity.
06:43But absolutely no reaction from Mongia.
06:4526 to 3.
06:53And this is another boundary.
06:55Just straying on to next time.
06:56Just three fielders on the onside.
06:57So plenty of gaps.
06:59Another boundary here for Gilchrist.
07:01That was a very good shot.
07:03So was the one before the pull shot.
07:06But this one, it looked as though he'd picked out the spot.
07:09Because the man is up inside the circle at short, fine leg.
07:13Gilchrist has got him.
07:27Just short of the man at mid wicket.
07:28I think Bevan's still being tested with short deliveries.
07:40It's one almost carried to mid wicket.
07:42It's still nicely on the onside.
07:51A chase for Karnitka.
07:53And those two runs bringing up the 50 for Australia.
07:56This time he's beaten mid on again.
08:04I don't think the bowler should be put off too much by this.
08:06I think he should be quite pleased to see that Michael Bevan is trying to thrash him in the air down the ground.
08:14Yes, because if you see both those shots, they might have gone for a boundary.
08:17But they haven't quite gone off the middle of the bat.
08:19And so if Michael Bevan is in this mood to try and thrash him over the top, it just takes a little bit of mistiming.
08:26Now, if it had been a little more mistimed, it could have gone straight to the field right mid on.
08:30Well, that's well struck.
08:33It's over.
08:33No, just short of the rope.
08:35Well hit.
08:45That's an area where they think that Bevan is strong around the off stump.
08:48He drives fluently on the offside.
08:50So they're trying to cramp him and bowler dispats.
08:52As we did see during this tournament, that he seemed to miss quite often trying to flick the ball to the onside.
09:03Oh, he's got him.
09:04He has got behind.
09:05Big wicket.
09:07Well, that time Mongia was up straight away.
09:10And once again, we see Gilchrist trying to play the cut shot to the ball just a little bit too close.
09:17And, well, that is the one they wanted because Gilchrist has looked the danger man today.
09:25India are really going well.
09:28Let's have another look at it.
09:29There it is.
09:30Bit close.
09:31He tries to cut it away.
09:32Faint little nick.
09:33Good catch by Mongia.
09:35Up he goes.
09:36And Gilchrist knows it's all over.
09:38So out for a very well-played 45.
09:41Port Mongia.
09:42Bold Kanitika.
09:4485 for four.
09:47Oh, that's well played.
09:51Straight down the ground.
09:52A couple of bounces.
09:53Three bounces in defence for four.
09:55So he's just been waiting for Stephen Waugh.
09:57You don't often see him hit the ball in the air.
09:59By that time, he decided to hit it in the air into the vacant straight area.
10:04This is a good shot.
10:05It's a good controlled shot.
10:06He wasn't trying to hit it all the way over the boundary.
10:09He just wanted to make sure he got enough elevation to get it back over the bowler's head.
10:17Looking for two, Bevan is.
10:21But Steve Waugh doesn't want to come.
10:23And here's trouble.
10:24Steve Waugh's been left stranded.
10:27In fact, Michael Bevan's the one that's out.
10:29I thought there was going to be a problem because Steve Waugh is nowhere near as quick as Michael Bevan.
10:36Steve Waugh was never looking for two there.
10:38Michael Bevan ran the two.
10:41But Steve Waugh never left the crease.
10:43And that's a tragedy for Australia.
10:44Well, is the right man out?
10:48I think he probably is.
10:49The umpire's just coming together.
10:51Have a look at this.
10:52This is an unbelievable tragedy for Australia.
10:55Whoa, it was nearly over his head.
10:56Off go the Bales.
10:58And the Aussies are nowhere to be seen.
11:00Down the other end.
11:02Steve Waugh was just back in his crease there.
11:04And you can see the look on his face.
11:09121 for five.
11:19That is a biggie.
11:27Steve Waugh has that mark down as one of his favorite strokes now.
11:32Yes, he's hit that ball well from outside the off stump.
11:37He's hit it with the spin.
11:39It's like a lofted sweep shot.
11:42And that's four.
11:44Not quite where Darren Levin meant it.
11:52That's what Steve Waugh will do.
11:53He'll block the good ones.
11:55And he'll try to take toll of the others.
11:59Just got about 15 a bit overs still to go.
12:02That is good batting by Steve Waugh.
12:06It was a full toss, but it still has to be put away.
12:09Put away from a fielder as good as Mahmoud Azaruddin.
12:16Right, so that's a good over for Australia.
12:19Hasn't worked for India.
12:2250 to Steve Waugh.
12:23Oh, he's got that fine.
12:34Chase for Prasad.
12:36But the ball will win.
12:37Good cricket from Darren Lehmann.
12:38And such a contrast to the way he played the other night when he opened.
12:43When he was trying to hit the ball too hard.
12:46Trying to build everything on that occasion.
12:48Just made sure that he got the bat on the ball.
12:51And then just rolled the wrist to get it away fine.
12:54Make sure that he brought up the boundary.
12:56This has been a good innings from Darren Lehmann.
12:58It's a matter of whether he goes on with it now.
13:04Yesterday, he's allowing the ball to come onto the bat.
13:06Even on that occasion, it was a quite deliberate shot.
13:10Very skillfully played.
13:12And another boundary for Darren Lehmann.
13:14That brings up the 200 for Australia.
13:15A boundary, and he almost got himself $500.
13:20That was so close to going through the MRF tyre
13:23that Darren Lehmann probably had a bit of an idea
13:28that he was in with a chance of making some money there.
13:35Did he get an edge there?
13:37Cumblay doesn't seem too excited.
13:42Cumblay getting that one to just go straight on
13:44on an angle across Darren Lehmann.
13:49But no edge.
14:10Partnership worth 90.
14:11That's a record against India
14:12for Australia's sixth wicket.
14:16Australia having recovered extremely well.
14:20And the Indians now need a wicket.
14:21That's another boundary on the onside.
14:23He split the gap in the outfield.
14:26And that means there's pressure on the bowler
14:29when you hit to the boundary of the first delivery.
14:31If you want to sweep the ball square,
14:37the best place to do it from is just outside off stump.
14:40That's exactly what Lehmann's done.
14:41He's picked out a gap there.
14:46It's an example of what a powerful hitter he is.
14:48Well, well played, Darren Lehmann.
14:52That's 50 for him.
14:55It's the second fastest 50 of this tournament.
14:57And his captain and his teammates will be very, very happy with this performance.
15:04Yes, he's a talented cricketer, and he really hasn't played as much for Australia as he deserves to.
15:13So I'm delighted to see him score that in a big match like this.
15:23Well, again, he's gone in the air.
15:25And this time, very, very well taken in the deep.
15:29The young man sprinting across to his left
15:32and taking the ball with two hands.
15:34So the breakthrough has come India's way.
15:36Australia have lost her sixth wicket.
15:38Well, not only has he got a very good arm,
15:51but he's a good athlete, and that's an excellent catch.
15:54Not easy to catch them when you've got to be running flat out.
15:57He didn't have a chance to get into position and set himself.
16:00When you're running flat out like that,
16:02the eyes are bobbing up and down.
16:04That's an excellent catch by Agurka.
16:06War is gone for 70.
16:08And Australia at 2.24 for six.
16:16Oh, nice deflection.
16:17That'll go to the fence for four.
16:18That was a nice, delicate little leg glide.
16:21The sort of shot that, well, look at the pain there.
16:25Now, that does tell a story.
16:26That tells how disciplined this young man has become.
16:30That was a bad ball.
16:30He knows it.
16:31He wanted it a little straight up.
16:33Yes, his ball, as I was saying, a very good first spell,
16:36where he didn't give batsmen too many opportunities to score.
16:40Now, when his team needs him to bowl tightly and the other bowlers as well,
16:45he knows that he's let the team down by bowling a ball on the leg stump.
16:49This is a tense time.
16:52They want to try and keep it quiet here.
16:54Oh, that's a good shot.
16:56Much better.
16:57Way over the top down there at deep mid-wicket.
17:00That's a much better way to play these Indian spinners.
17:04If you're going to hit them, don't try and slog it right across the line.
17:06He advanced down the pitch.
17:07The ball was on leg stump, and he just went straight at the deep mid-wicket boundary.
17:12Well, not too many batsmen have done that to Anil Kumlay.
17:15Darren Lehman has coming down the pitch and using Kumlay's turn,
17:21headed with the spin.
17:24Oh, good shot again.
17:26He's lost his bat, but he's hit the ball for four.
17:29That's eight runs in...
17:30Oh, it's ten runs in two balls.
17:33That's his highest score in one day internationals as well.
17:37Oh, just watch this one.
17:38This is a magnificent bit of camera work as well.
17:40Up she comes, over the top, down towards mid-wicket.
17:43That's over the top for four.
17:44And then this one.
17:46Well, Kumlay compensating for having pissed the ball up to Lehman
17:50by pitching it a little bit short.
17:56Short delivery.
17:57Whacked away down a deep square leg.
17:58This will be cut off.
17:59They'll come back for the second, though.
18:01And this throw's a good one.
18:04Well, Lehman, just for a second there, was a little bit pushed.
18:06Now, Gautka, he'll be getting a little bit nervous
18:09because it looks as if he's going to have to bowl the last over.
18:13Nicely fielded.
18:16He took a very good catch to get rid of Steve Waugh.
18:20He must be just a little nervous, as you said,
18:23because he's given away a few runs.
18:26That's a great head.
18:27It's going out, it's going to be caught.
18:29It's not quite off the middle of the bat.
18:30Yes, taken.
18:31Lehman tried to hit the six way down towards Longon.
18:35And unfortunately, he didn't get it on them in the middle of the bat.
18:42Sang V, the fieldsman down there, has made the catch.
18:45Never looked as if he was going to drop it.
18:47That is a very valuable innings by Darren Lehman.
18:50He's best so far in one day at the Nationals.
18:52He had to go for it in these circumstances.
18:55And there's the catch-up.
18:56Yes, with less than three overs left, there was no option but to go for the big hits,
19:02try and get as many on board.
19:03Australia already have a healthy total.
19:05Lehman was only trying to add to it when he fell.
19:08Australia now are 2.55 for seven.
19:10And he's lobbed it away on the offside.
19:19Will they come back?
19:19Don't think so.
19:21Yes, Martin's coming back.
19:22He's going to be run out.
19:23Oh, I can't believe this.
19:27Shane Warne, in these circumstances, you've got to be looking for the two runs.
19:32Damian Martin is halfway down the wicket and had to go back.
19:40Well, they've had some disastrous runouts, the Australians, and this was definitely a two.
19:47Very good thinking there by Ajay Jerejai.
19:49He was throwing to the end of the batsman.
19:51It was a little slower.
19:53That is Shane Warne.
19:54He knew that Damian Martin was looking to get to the striker's end again.
19:59Damian Martin not impressed at all.
20:01He's run out in Australia at 2.63 for eight.
20:07Oh, that's in the air.
20:08This will be outcourt.
20:09They haven't dropped anything tonight.
20:10Got him.
20:11That's another one down.
20:12Kasparovic hits that one way up in the air.
20:16And that's his 100th wicket in one-day internationals.
20:21Ben Katrash Prasad has bowled beautifully tonight.
20:25That was a slower delivery.
20:28It went straight up in the air.
20:29He's bowling well these days.
20:33Yeah, she bowled that slow delivery beautifully.
20:35Disguising it very well.
20:37The batsmen do not always pick it in time.
20:40This is what happened with Kasparovic, and he's only a tail ender.
20:43Deceived by that slow one.
20:44Hitting a simple cast of Konecker at long off.
20:46He's out for a duck.
20:47And Australia at nine down to 2.64.
20:49Oh, well, bowled.
20:58And that's gone through the keeper.
20:59That was a good delivery.
21:02Well, you can't ask a young man to do anything more than that.
21:05He's bowled the most beautiful straight Yorker really fast.
21:10And it's beaten everyone.
21:14Yes, I think it's taken Mongia by surprise.
21:17It didn't quite bounce.
21:18This is a very good Yorker.
21:19Field has spread.
21:22The last ball of the Australian innings.
21:31No, they've decided not to run.
21:33In fact, Mongia did very well there.
21:35He started running in even as the ball was coming out of the hand of the bowler.
21:41That is well done by Nyan Mongia.
21:42Who knows?
21:45It might be that individual, that single run, that makes a difference.
21:49Yes, when it's a match between two sides which are well matched,
21:54then definitely the odd run can make the difference between victory and defeat.
21:58The Indians will be a little disappointed having at Australia three down for 26
22:02to see Australia put up such a big score.
22:06Right, well, just a quick look at the Australian batting card.
22:08There we are.
22:09They didn't get off to a great start.
22:10Last mark, Warren pointing very quickly.
22:12Gilchrist played beautifully for his 45.
22:14Moody out for one.
22:15Bevan played well again for 45.
22:17Steve Waugh and Darren Lehman got this innings back on track.
22:20Damien Martin, well, he was very disappointed.
22:22Run out, bad run out that one.
22:24He made 16.
22:25Warren wasn't able to get going.
22:27And they ended up with 272.
22:29Nine down off the 50 overs.
22:31And from India's point of view, well,
22:33Begatash Beside up there at the top.
22:34He bowled beautifully.
22:35Two for 32.
22:37And he's completed his 100 wickets in one day at the Nationals.
22:39Agaka, just a little bit expensive.
22:40Kumbhli, well, he was solid again.
22:43And remember, he bowls at the end,
22:44so he's going to concede a few runs.
22:47Kaditka, two for 58.
22:48A little bit expensive, too.
22:49But they shared it around a little bit.
22:51And so that's what India have to do now.
22:54They need 273.
22:56I think we've got a great game of cricket on our hands.
22:59The pitch looks good.
23:00The lights are on.
23:01The ground staff are out there sweeping up
23:03to make sure there are no little bits and pieces lying around.
23:05And it's a lovely evening in Sarja.
23:08And everyone is looking forward to see
23:11Sash and Tendulkar start the Indian innings.
23:13Tendulkar, and the roof is just about taken off this Sarja stadium
23:25when Tendulkar appeared.
23:28Ganguly is with him.
23:29And can he do it again?
23:31That's what's needed.
23:33273.
23:3350 overs.
23:34The asking rate, 5.46 per over.
23:38This has been a terrific tournament.
23:40A wonderful match between India and Australia.
23:42The last one on Wednesday night.
23:44And now this final,
23:46because the Australians fought back so splendidly,
23:49it's set up for a lovely contest on the final night.
23:59They've got a score of 5.46 runs per over to win the match.
24:03It's almost as if these people in the stadium cannot wait
24:08for Tendulkar to get going.
24:10They are all seated.
24:12They are all focused on play.
24:15This is what they've been waiting for.
24:17This little man is bigger than Ben Hur in these bars.
24:24First ball from Fleming.
24:25It's a boundary.
24:27Listen to the roar.
24:28That one just a little bit off line.
24:32Both Ganguly and Sachin Tendulkar play the leg glide superbly.
24:40Well, this is the perfect start for India.
24:42They need a good start.
24:44These are two of their premier batsmen.
24:47If these guys can set a foundation,
24:50no reason why India can't win.
24:52But if they lose early wickets as Australia did,
24:55I think it's going to be an uphill battle.
24:56Damien Fleming through the offside.
25:01Beautifully played.
25:01Running down towards the boundary.
25:04It may just get to the fence.
25:05Yes, it's four.
25:08Two balls, two fours.
25:11India are off to a flyer.
25:15Well, the other important part about this
25:17is that Ganguly, who's hit the first two balls for four,
25:21India can't rely on Sachin Tendulkar to do all the work.
25:25But it's important that he gets support.
25:27And this is a great start.
25:31Oh, well played.
25:32That's four.
25:34Lovely, elegant cover drive.
25:37All the way along the ground.
25:39And really, he didn't try and hit it too hard.
25:43Just caressed it through the field.
25:46Well, that's the key to it, Tony.
25:48I think the fact that he's not trying to hit the ball hard.
25:50He just leant on it.
25:51Got into good position.
25:53Had the weight forward.
25:55Balance was perfect.
25:56The timing and placement equally perfect.
25:58And the ball fairly races the way.
26:00So it gets him into the mood.
26:02And gets him the momentum going.
26:07Oh, and that's gone for four.
26:09But that is a very lucky break.
26:11And that's a very frustrating fast bowler.
26:14Now he's managed to maintain a little smile.
26:17Well, it's a post of credit to him.
26:19He tried to get his bat out of the way, Sachin Tendulkar.
26:21And very nearly dragged it back onto the stumps.
26:23Yes, trying to leave it alone at the last minute.
26:25Couldn't get his bat out of the way.
26:26Tried to stop it there.
26:28And how that missed the stumps is anyone's guess.
26:36Oh, he's nearly hit his partner.
26:38He's nearly hit his partner.
26:40Sachin Tendulkar.
26:42You need someone down the other end.
26:46I think Anguli got the fright of his life.
26:48Now you can understand why
26:53Taurav Ganguli wears all the protective gear that he wears.
26:57Not necessarily for the bowling.
27:00For protection against his partner at the other end.
27:09In the air, Tom Moody at mid on.
27:11So Australia have finally got the breakthrough.
27:14Ganguli out to Fleming.
27:18Well, those four dot balls in that over
27:21were the ones that made Ganguli play that shot.
27:25He realized that he had to make sure
27:27that it wasn't an over which was a scoreless over.
27:32He had to score off it.
27:33Tried to pull the ball hurrying onto him
27:35and catching him in an awkward position
27:38and him ending up.
27:41I think a simple catch to Moody.
27:43He's out for 23 and India 39 for one.
27:45Once again,
27:53Mohamed Azaruddin is using
27:56Nayan Mongia as his pinch hitter.
27:59He did a terrific job
28:00the other night
28:01in the match against Australia.
28:07Who slips in?
28:08That's a very good over from Damien Fleming.
28:16Wicket maiden.
28:21Sachin Tendulgut just clears mid on.
28:26Another boundary.
28:27Well, this is important.
28:32This is important that
28:34after a wicket you need to break the spell
28:37that the bowlers have.
28:39Sachin Tendulgut has taken a calculated risk again.
28:42A similar sort of shot to Ganguli
28:44excepting that Tendulgut has hit it
28:47from under
28:48and has hit it over the fielder at mid on.
28:51That's turned away nicely around the corner.
28:59Again, very good placement.
29:03Can't clear neck lance better than that.
29:05A wry smile there from
29:09Mark Waugh.
29:12He appreciates the talent of this man.
29:14Wasn't a particularly bad ball
29:16but just enough
29:17towards leg stump
29:20for him to whip it away.
29:22Consummate ease.
29:23And the amazing run of consistency continues.
29:31Yet another half century
29:32for Sachin Tendulgut.
29:34It's his birthday today
29:35and he's not let his fans down.
29:48And he swept him fine again.
29:49This will be another boundary.
29:53Mark Waugh just drifting on to leg stump.
29:57And Tendulgut making him pay the price.
30:04This time it was a bad ball from Mark Waugh.
30:08Very nearly earned Sachin Tendulgut
30:10some more money.
30:11The MRF tire is down there.
30:14The ball was looking like it might get there
30:16but the bias took it away to the left.
30:19Born continuing.
30:19This time going round the wicket
30:21so change in tactics here.
30:23And Tendulgut greets him
30:27by dancing down the track
30:29and hammering it over Longhorn.
30:33This is amazing stuff.
30:35Well he's very aggressive when he wants to be
30:50decided to attack Shane Warne
30:55as soon as he went round the wicket.
30:56And he's uncanny.
30:58When he decides to go after them
31:00he rarely picks the wrong ball.
31:07This time he picks the single.
31:08Good trick at that.
31:10He'll come back for the second.
31:11There's an overthrow.
31:12So the Australians just beginning
31:16to feel the pressure a bit.
31:18Yes they rattled.
31:19They really are feeling the pressure.
31:22They're frustrated with this man.
31:24They want him out of the way.
31:26They know if they can get rid of him
31:27their chances of success
31:29in this final go up.
31:31The longer he stays there
31:32the more likely it is India wins.
31:40Got him.
31:42Yep.
31:43The umpire
31:43eventually put up his finger
31:46but that was only because
31:47there was an appeal
31:48after the batsman walked.
31:50Quite a thick edge.
31:51And Fleming
31:52happy birthday.
31:57Yes indeed
31:58the man Nongia
31:59trying to guide the ball
32:02to a third man.
32:03This is a typical one day shot
32:04but as I've been saying
32:06it's not a shot that
32:07pays you too many dividends.
32:09This time it's cost
32:10man Nongia his wicket.
32:12He's out after
32:13playing a good hand
32:14of 28
32:15and India
32:16have lost a second
32:17with it for 128.
32:18Muhammad Azridin
32:27comes out to join
32:28Sashin Tendoka
32:29Cumming has done
32:32the trick for Australia
32:33in desperate need
32:34of a wicket.
32:48Off the mark straight away
32:49Muhammad Azridin
32:50he came into bat
32:51because
32:51man Nongia
32:52trying to guide the ball
32:53to third man
32:55only managed to nick it
32:56to the wicketkeeper
32:57Adam Gilquist.
33:07It was a good effort
33:09but
33:10it was despair
33:12at the end.
33:18The leg cut a ball
33:23then we were trying to
33:24cut it didn't quite get
33:27in the middle
33:27which might actually
33:28have been good for him
33:29because it
33:31meant that the ball
33:33went a little finer.
33:34The ball went a little finer.
33:36It's Pat Cash Roy
33:49made a lot of runs
33:50in his day
33:51in the test match environment.
34:01Oh that's well played.
34:02He's pulled that one away
34:03for four.
34:06Steve Waugh has been
34:10pitching just a little
34:11bit too short
34:12and
34:13Muhammad Azridin
34:16taking advantage
34:17on that occasion.
34:18Doesn't often play
34:19the pull shot
34:20Azridin
34:21he likes to
34:22play the short ball
34:23away on the offside
34:24mostly.
34:27That's got to be close
34:29and he looked at it
34:31long and hard
34:32and then said
34:32not out.
34:36Steve Waugh
34:42coming on
34:42just a little bit
34:43of an angle
34:44and the ball
34:44cut quite a bit
34:45off the seam
34:46no doubt
34:47that that was going
34:47to go down
34:48leg side
34:48good decision
34:49umpire Bucknall
34:50so 96
34:53balls
34:54102 runs
34:55and Tendulka
34:55still there
34:56India
34:58oh it's looking good
34:59this could be a close
35:00game
35:01oh he's working it
35:05around
35:05desperate effort
35:06there by Kasper
35:07it's gone to the fence
35:08for four
35:09that's wonderful
35:09placement
35:10Kasperovic
35:12inside the circle
35:13and he's played it
35:14just wide of him
35:15you can see there
35:19the look on Tom
35:19Moody's face
35:20saying
35:21how the hell
35:22did you get that
35:23one there
35:23and get it past
35:25the fieldsman
35:25he's taken it off
35:27about middle
35:28stump
35:28desperate effort
35:30from Kasperovic
35:31but the timing
35:34was just good enough
35:35to get it past him
35:35and away to the rope
35:36well a century
35:43for his birthday
35:44would be
35:45would be a great
35:46present particularly
35:47coming in the final
35:48well played
35:54he's hit that one
35:54through extra cover
35:55running down
35:56towards the boundary
35:57and has gone for four
35:58just watch this one
36:19again driven through
36:20the covers

36:25and with him
36:25is Richie Benno
36:26thank you Tony

36:32heading for a real
36:33exciting finish
36:34the Indians have got
36:36wickets in hand
36:37and just gets a feeling
36:39that something's
36:39going to give now
36:40oh that smash back
36:49in fact the deflection
36:51has helped Tendulkar
36:52he'll get another run
36:53for this
36:53inching towards
36:59yet another hundred
37:00in international cricket
37:01I thought there was a lot
37:11of noise the other night
37:12when he made his hundred
37:14and then when he got
37:15India into the final
37:16into the past
37:17qualifying point
37:18it'll be nothing
37:20to the noise
37:21here tonight
37:21and that'll get him
37:29closer
37:2997 with that single
37:32what a performance
37:34to do it
37:34two days
37:35on the trot
37:35a big match
37:37tremendous pressure
37:38terrific tournament
37:4540 80 38
37:46143
37:47and he's still
37:47going strong
37:48here
37:48he's actually
37:51played in
37:52restrained fashion
37:53tonight
37:53not like on
37:55Wednesday night
37:55this has been
37:56it's been a wonderful
37:57innings
37:57but not quite the same
37:59when I say
38:12that he's batted
38:13in restrained
38:14fashion
38:14I should add
38:15that he's made
38:1697 from 99
38:17ball
38:18and it's only fair
38:27to say Richie
38:28that Australia's
38:29unbeaten run
38:29in this competition
38:30might just be
38:32threatened now
38:32it's threatened by
38:34that figure of
38:36two wickets down
38:37sitting on the
38:38scoreboard there
38:39under 188
38:40we're into the
38:4237th over
38:43and the strain
38:44is intense
38:45out there
38:46that's it
38:51100th number 15
38:54for Sachin Tendulca
38:55and Wanda
38:56Internationals
38:56tremendous
38:59emotion here
38:59from the crowd
39:00what a player
39:02and another boundary
39:14so nothing seems to be
39:32going right for Australia
39:33at the moment
39:33Indians have got this game
39:37under control
39:38at the moment
39:38eight runs coming off
39:49that over
39:50195 for two
39:51oh that's been
39:58crashed off the back
39:59foot
39:59was hit in the air
40:02but that ball
40:03was traveling
40:03to the fence
40:04like a tracer bullet
40:05this is perfect timing
40:09by the Indian batsmen
40:11they've made sure
40:12the Australians
40:13have never got them
40:14to the point
40:15where they're required
40:16seven and over
40:17in fact the Australians
40:20have struggled
40:21to get them to six
40:22that smash back
40:25straight back
40:26over the boulder's head
40:27and again
40:29hit with tremendous
40:31power by Tendulca

40:36say
40:37that
40:38someone has hit
40:39a pretty good
40:40straight drive
40:41now that
40:41was a straight drive

40:57finished yet
40:57consecutive
40:59boundaries
40:59for Tendulca
41:00this man doesn't
41:02want to leave it
41:03till the end
41:03he wants to get it
41:04over as quickly
41:05as possible
41:05that was an equally
41:12magnificent shot
41:13straight drive
41:14and then
41:14a beautiful drive
41:16through cover
41:16he started off

42:08what a wonderful
42:11player

42:14now
42:14that he's going to
42:15finish this off
42:16quickly
42:16have a look
42:18at that shot

42:26through cover
42:27this time

42:58there it is
43:00he smashed it
43:02high in the air
43:04and down the ground
43:05for six
43:06well there's one
43:07lesson there for
43:08Michael Kasparovic
43:09he was trying to have
43:11a bit of a warble
43:11with Sachin Tendulkar
43:12at the beginning
43:13of Sachin Tendulkar
43:15suggesting that he
43:16might have been
43:16just a little bit
43:17lucky with a couple
43:17of shots
43:18you don't tangle
43:19with the batsman
43:20of Sachin Tendulkar's
43:21caliber
43:21because that is
43:23what's going to
43:23happen
43:24a big appeal
43:30oh he's given him
43:31he's given him
43:31out LBW
43:32now
43:33this is an
43:35interesting decision
43:36the question is
43:38where did it pitch
43:39let's not dwell
43:40on it too much
43:41let's just dwell
43:42on the applause
43:43that this young man

44:25batting by
44:26Mahmoud Azaluddin
