India won by 82 runs
The team are in a huddle out in the middle, savouring the moment no
doubt
It all began with Tendulkat smashing the cover off the ball for 50
at the top of the innings
Wickets then fell and India stuttered
Dravid shored up the middle order with a useful 62, Yuvraj batted
fluently for his 40 odd and India coiuld post 250 from 50 overs
No one could have been prepared for what came after
Srinath and Zaheer Khan beat the bat repeatedly but could not
really get among the wickets
Then came Ashish Nehra...
An amazing spell of sustained pace, swing and movement off the
wicket saw Nehra take 6/23 from 10 overs and wreck the England
batting line up
England never really recovered, although Andy Flintoff batted
brilliantly to reach 64 off 73 balls
India however were just too good on the day and collect four
valuable points from this match
There's really no doubting who the Man of the Match will be,
although we need to wait for the official presentation ceremony
that will no doubt declare Ashish Nehra as the Man of the Match
It's official. Ashish Nehra is the Man of the Matchg!
