India in Pakistan | Series Decider in Rawalpindi 2004 !!

[Music] a lot of talk about the pitch here in uh raul pindi as a result the toss is very crucial they expect the pitch to have a tinge of green on it so fielding first is what the both captains had in mind it was ganguly won the toss and not surprisingly opted to feel first pakistan will start their innings on what looks a lot greener than the pitch that we had in lahore but it's dry underneath which would suggest that the help for the seamers may not last as long as all would imagine i found bhutan with the first ball of the test match [Applause] that's a good shot toffee has cleared a kraken cover drive good stroke nothing complicated about it at all over pitched fine but swinging [Applause] oh big shot that might be out yes it is a long long discussion with himself first of all rudy goodson and how slowly did that arm come out oh surprise delivery for tawfiq but it's almost a yorker pitching or middle and no doubt where it was heading and this is good thinking from balaji that was plum as you would get so rudy kurtzen more respected empires in the world having a good start in pakistan with that decision oh there's a good shot two and out mr shepard says so india have suddenly in a way just justified their decision to put the opposition in they're in trouble at 34 for 2. what a turnaround absolutely confident was david shepard and hawkeye just reinforces that [Applause] well if you want to make an impression when you first receive a delivery in your innings in a test match and you happen to be catching as well this is one way doing it simply terrific from yazoo that drive also gets pakistan their 50. [Applause] just over the top of the field it came at the middle of the bat 69 for two [Applause] and it was always going to be his achilles heel it's his strength and it also is his weakness and as you said robin it can bring his downfall far too wide to play it that's it isn't it where's he off stump and he's he's striding out there which we've commented on and uh it's a very positive way that he plays but then he loses perhaps track he is now next ball wow what a wonderful bit of bowling swung one back in turned down by the umpire pushed the next one across him enzyme and patel did the rest pakistan in dire straits good group poor score top effort here from mira it's wicked after wicket the skipper goes for 15 77 for four [Applause] and there it is a release for pakistan there's four runs and that will just pull the pressure plug a little bit well he's gone he's gone that ball sort of spun back i don't exactly know what happened with it was an inside edge but bataan he was back on the money and bowled this kid is so good he knows how to bowl and he's knocked over johanna again for the fifth time that's out yeah it's another full swinging delivery it's hit him on the shinbone did not hesitate and vanity has taken yet another wicket and these wickets just keep falling in purge let's see where it pitched it pitched on that middle stop came back and that would have gone on to hit the leg stump arsene come out he survived for quite a while 21 he got [Applause] that'll run away for four nicely angled down through [Applause] well played in fact he's timed it beautifully it's running away from tendulkar that's four uh on the leg side this time i think they've taken the advice uh dina they're looking to play some shots nine it's not a bad idea at all [Music] second catch of the innings for him this is where india looked world-class in the slip gordon and that's been the big improvement for them in the last couple of seasons look at this for a catch he's nicked it it's dying dying he dies to his left oh that's a brilliant second slip catch and the dangerous atmo goes for 17 pakistan 137 for [Applause] in lahore not quite the same contest but that was another beauty for delivering so the raul [Applause] [Music] if patel is going towards you oh this has been an awful record if you're a batsman he just can't believe it fantastic bowling so first time he's got four wickets in a test series fantastic delivery hector goes for duck 137 for it [Applause] oh he's got four for himself [Applause] oh [Applause] should be out [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] well when the ball goes up in the keep and get to it he's got the gloves and it's always going to be him i think he might have just messed it up wonder what they are thinking about the indian balling attack at this stage a good shot that's a very good shot hand goes up and the finger as well ball was left alone so it didn't matter where it was hitting where the impact was good effort 25. [Applause] [Music] [Applause] and what a is for all the people here including his teammates he had played brilliantly well in uh rush of blood he couldn't get it right in here hold your head up son you played very well mohamed sammy you really have played well i know he made a bit of a mistake trying to get his fifties headed straight to the man hit it right the screws hit it too hard picked up by bataan again who else and throws the stumps down and he's only a couple of meters out but [Applause] [Music] [Applause] well trouble against the swing bowling of pattan balaji and nera that is the story of that pakistan batting performance muhammad sami heroic with the bad showed a lot of guts and surprisingly the top scorer there for pakistan 224 and pakistan is in trouble [Applause] [Music] [Applause] what an amazing start off the back of the backs what an incredible start to this innings the man who scored 300 in rockton has found the back of the back and at the third attempt that's what makes it so amazing the ball was caught there then it was down how he got it the last time i really don't know that's how made the man what a start to this innings and more importantly for show of actor that'll really fire him up first ball of their innings he's gone for a duck and it's one wicket for no runs [Applause] beautifully played that's [Applause] [Applause] struggling to reach the ropes but might just do that [Applause] nicely played beautifully played good timing from dravid before gonna run away for four there's no third man down there he's nicely played though [Applause] now he just blitzes it through backward point look he's a classic give it give a kid an opportunity they'll take a mile but not really asking too much for the this young youngster so far it's been india's uh in a good 15 minutes on the second day once again the edge but it's found the gap between the slip gordon it's another four to india [Applause] beautifully played this time he spears the gap [Applause] that's his 50. that'll take him to 53 his third test century and i test 50 i should say and all of them have come in the year 2004. that's a classy shot from driver very hard shot to play but you see a lot of the indian pakistan batsman with that ability and that brings up his half century [Applause] well there's an edge outside edge only had the one slip in place but it didn't go to him but it went straight to the keeper success for now good delivery it really was a good delivery and a good catch too from cameron akmal brilliantly this young man can stand up have a bit of a break and get ready to keep in the second innings [Applause] in the innings and now first ball of this spell sachin tendulkar outside edge caught by the keeper oh satchel's got a spitting cobra down just takes the outside edge open the blade up a little bit backmail does the rest can you believe it what a start they've got back-to-back wickets here at penny this game is alive charlie by 94. the great master goes he's out for one ladies down at the ground [Applause] up and it's flown through the vacant area between gully and third slip for four more to drop it oh that's a special shot that's a cracking straight drive previous luxman at his very best [Applause] that's a strong shot through the upside the beauty about that drive was the placement and he got it in a majestic style [Applause] didn't quite get hold of it really well he actually did get a good piece of it but it was straight to hamid and it's gone down dear oh dear and you can understand the frustration from sami [Applause] [Music] full and driven square that's the answer from vvs lakshman waiting for it offensive just a little bit [Applause] [Music] i think the case will be open to the third empire if it's a four it'll be vivious luxman's 50. four and that leg or foot was touching the rope at the same time he scooped the ball back and another half century to lakshman he's got them at a rapid rate as well well india lead by nine runs as we see this uh full task put away by vivious luxman in [Applause] that's a beautiful stroke just look at that the man is really quite deep there's got no chance of catching it up there it is there it is his first against pakistan his 17th overall his 11th away from home and i think sanjay mandraka won that he will save her greatly he'll remember this one it's another innings for india that's come when the team has been in trouble he came in when virinda said was dismissed the first ball of the innings another innings from david of high value [Applause] see that's gone off the outside edge it's gone for four but he's already found the outside edge of the back the man who's in with 100. [Applause] missed it completely middle stump out of the ground now is that sheer pace or is that a misjudgment by a vvs laxman let's just say it's a in his armor umar ghoul exploited it in lahore should have done this uh right at the start of the away something that we mentioned should aim at this time it's a typical vbs lakshman's reaction you'll see very often he'll have a shocked expression on his face when he's given out but or he's bowled out to show button this is just a great climax to what's being great fast bowling a good innings mind you by vbs lakshman it's got india in the driver's seat and gone through well there's a gully in place but that ball has been guarded through the slip horn oh he's halfway down the pitch and he had given up gangoli all pakistan needed was [Music] he's got a weakness it's he's running between the wickets at times he just like that gets himself in all sorts of problems and he comes down to the arm on draft bank threw a tough spot but not now this delivery smashed straight back past the bowler and that ends the over with a very confident [Applause] he will shot it away back with a square to four and go through the 53 at the close of day two which ramis raja has belonged very much to india absolutely it has belonged to india it has belonged to sauron ganguly he had to prove a point coming back to lead them and how well is legal [Laughter] you know the scary thing is he's just had a haircut [Applause] camp and dravid has faced 350 balls that's four there was a third man there but he had no chance it was the typical ganguly square delivery handled in great style by drove it [Applause] has hit that one square on the offside that's 150 for rahul dravid eight score of over 150 he's a beginnings man the team is out of the balcony imploring that effort just goes on and on oh what a good shot i've seen him play this shot often they talk about uh kangooli being weak against short pitch ball and so on but if if you're gonna bowl it you've got to get it higher well [Applause] [Music] [Applause] but i got a feeling ganguly got in but he was avoiding the ball and sometimes that gets you into trouble [Applause] good throw oh he's got to get the bat down i think he's out well it's going to be a hard one to adjudicate but he's made the mistake of trying to avoid the ball and he might have just got his back down in time and this is something that he does a lot too is he plops his bat in or places it in marginal oh and that's all about avoiding the ball we've seen it happen before and gully got there good innings though [Applause] oh beautiful placement you you might well say well 69 now there we go thanks very much refresh it's exactly what we require from you because you're doing what we're asking you to do playing your natural game emma's possibly a drop was an extremely hard chance he would have done well to get a finger on it and wouldn't you know it he's taken out the second slip [Applause] what a beautiful stroke there it is wonderful innings a fantastic inning he's only the third indian to score a double century against pakistan brenda siva because he went on to get 300 as well guy quad and now dravid and the other doubles that he's got are recaller one in adelaide that was a match winning performance but not a series winning performance this just might be the latter oh beautifully played [Applause] once again with this one david shepard things is right in front yuvraj singh spotted that finger a little late but when he looked up he was looking at the marching orders this was a little fuller did it pitch on not quite not quite so you've read seeing three short over 50 [Applause] good thinking on part of raul dravid [Applause] he's gone over the top [Applause] that's gone will this be taken and he takes a magnificent catch redeems himself in the deep there goes effort sacrificing he's wicked for the team terrific innings oh that's a cracking cover drive that's a great shot from raul roberts he had to beat so many fielders to get that fall so the placement was absolutely brilliant that's right that's gone all the way [Applause] [Music] [Applause] plotting him fantastic fantastic knockout will they declare on him before he gets 300 what will they do [Music] in the 190s will it be paid back [Applause] against canaria [Music] i think he's just in the air it's another difficult one for zamira and just a viewer is a good time to remind them that the third empire is not listening to us or the match referees just looking at the pictures it's a one frame decision again i think it's another difficult one but more inclined to give it another has a real problem when he's playing the spinners he looks to go so far down the pitch that more often than not he's always tight but with the benefit of this replay [Applause] [Music] he's gone up in the air he's tired beautifully that's comfortably cleared into the stands just out of reach of that fielder at midwicket and it's been his day david he's managed to find the gap between long gone and deep midwicket we had to clear this man in zima and [Applause] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] and finally this huge innings that drive it comes to an end well everybody's looking towards the dressing room a great innings has come to an end the greatness of driving is that he's producing these great innings every second game for india this is how the innings came to an end reverse we've attempted only to find the off stamp oh great positioning and it's gone straight up in fact it's cleared longer this guy ballet continues to impress everybody with his talent there was that memorable six against her in the one day this was interesting to say the least once again this time it might go to him coming to an end 600. wow is that just full and shorter second slip they've been a little bit too deep [Applause] has picked up a neat catch and first breakthrough has come india as well we've been talking about how the slip cordon has become better and better for india it's very safe catch the smile is on his face pakistan 30 for 1. [Music] the batsman is disappointed i got the feeling that the appeal was dying very quickly after it was made to suggest that it may not have been a very confident shout for lake before but india have struck and both openers back in the pavilion maybe the hawkeye who will indicate that would have gone on to hit uh power leg stumps will walk back after getting 13 two down now 34 on the board that's gone before not quite perfectly executed that's the second boundary [Applause] great shot this is good aggressive cricket from last ball or the second last over he's played it on the leg side it's another positive shot that's four and he stopped it well we're talking about it blacksman's dropped it to his right maybe a bit close together but it was yours when i was mine it was yours well you can tell as much as you like but he's they've missed it i don't believe it we just talked about he's giving himself a comfort zone he's nice and deep and that's loved up oh hasn't cost anything he's had a great innings hey zach he's been dropped twice and lost his golf ball all in about three minutes great delivery again look at the scene so straight starting to swing away he's played outside the ball and look at that off stump go it's got freaking flyer points on it cameron akmal goes for 23 pakistan and dire straits here has he taken it i think it is a catch yes david sheppard raises the finger and yasir hamid has been picked up on the lakeside by brilliant catch by party patel well they say that you've got to be desperately unlucky to be picked that way but uh it was fantastic effort by pathwa patel brilliant catch when he is redeemed himself strikes he knew it [Applause] this is amazing doesn't need to raise the finger and then in zamam sort of wonders whether it's a good idea to walk looks back and then kurtz and confirms the decision now boy what can you say about this only the bowlers have looked quality pakistan captain is walking back dejectedly gone for nine it's gone and very quickly [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] he's gone he's earned this wicket through some excellent bowling in this over he got the ball to spin and yusuf johanna still thinking that the ball will not turn a very valuable exercise this morning for kumble wandering out he knew where he wanted to pitch it he's working to a plan and johanna was always going to give a chance and taken it's role drama [Applause] the leg spin is turning for him driver in the game once again and again just pushing forward doesn't normally turn away from you as sharply as that getting turned on day four here at royal pindy first ball back [Applause] he's going big this time he'll climb it off he'll go for another that's a big one i think that's a six and a huge one it's landing on the tent that's up in the air and over the rope it goes way over well decided is going to enjoy himself out there [Applause] that's up in the air who wants it there's only one guy out there well caught well done that's gonna high very high this is near the man who caught it but this was always coming was looking for more heroics the bat hitting a part of the ground and uh that ball went high in the air mascaya [Applause] goodness gracious me chancellorizingly close to second slip he's just sort of trying to give them catching practice almost cut away for four good shot well what a brave 50 this has been rearguard action [Applause] oh that should be out and it is not always easiest of catches who took it it's up in the air for a bit and he just misjudged it a fraction didn't he just a fraction the first time that you've seen mindless cricket from pakistani batsman now there was no need for that one who is going uh pretty safely there it is this is the moment and it is only after the indian captain takes the catch and with that catch he becomes the indian test captain with the most wins in the history of the game and india have won this final match and they've registered their first series win on pakistani soil this is a dream come true so with this win kangali becomes the most successful indian test captain it's also india's first series win in pakistan to follow up their one day series win [Applause] [Music] um
