All over for India!
What a game of cricket we have had here! Australia were given a panic attack by Pakistan. Chasing a small total of 205, the Aussies got off to cracking start thanks to Watson and Paine before Afridi struck. Ponting and Hussey ensured that they were well on their way to the semi-finals until an inspirational spell from Rana Naved, had them gasping for breath. An excellent inswinging yorker cleaning up Hussey. Asif who looked pretty ordinary in his first spell, came back well to pick up the wickets of White and Hopes in the same over, and suddenly it looked like Aussies were out for the count. It took a sensible approach from Lee and Hauritz to help them cross the run off the last ball. Indian fans will be heartbroken, but Pakistanis can be proud of their effort, and have gone down fighting. If this is a preview of what's to come, we are in for a cracking semi-finals and the finals.
49.6 Gul to Hauritz, byes, 1 run, Aus win a magnificent match! what a humdinger, full outside off, Hauritz misses, they take the bye and Aus have won by 2 wkts, what a heart-break for the Indians! 49.5 Gul to Lee, 1 run, All over for India! firmly driven to mid on, Aus are through to the semis! What a magnificent match this is 49.4 Gul to Hauritz, 1 run, what a stop from Misbah, he dives to his right and saves some runs, flicked away and what a save by Misbah, Misbah has injured himself here! 49.3 Gul to Hauritz, no run, length delivery, bunted back to Gul! no run, fabulous bowling this! 49.2 Gul to Lee, 1 run, what a yorker length delivery that was, speared in and almost goes through Lee, he somehow manages to get it to short fine leg 49.1 Gul to Lee, no run, good start, good length on the stumps, angling into the right hander, Lee closes the face of the bat and turns it to short mid, no run there! Glum looking Ponting in the dressing room, tense faces all around, even the Indians are watching this!
