Waqar on now

45.4 Waqar Younis to Dravid, FOUR, Thats It!; short and its pulled to
backward square leg for a great win for India, crowd and everyone
else cheers madly

What a win! the key actor was Sachin Tendulkar with an amazing 98
off 75 balls, when he slaughtered the Pakistan attack getting most
of the fifty runs in five overs!
That early onslaught wiped out any hopes as he took the run rate
beyond control, he was dropped at about 30 but it was a difficult
chance to Razzaq ay mid off, he went on and carried on smashing
the pacers, most focus on Shoaib
who finally did get him with a brute of a ball on the off
Pakistan had done well batting posting a good 273 that looked like

a defendable total
THe Indian batting machine came out blazing and did not let up,
good support form Kaif, Yuvraj and Dravid got them home in less
than 46 overs
With the slow over rate the chances are Pakistan will be fined too
to add to the loss
THis game has provided the massive crowd at Centurion and all thos
watching on TV and on the Web their money's worth
We are waiting to find out who will be getting the man of the match
award
The Indian team is acknowledging the crowd
The Pakistan team also joins them

Waqar out to talk to the MC, says its not over yet but says full
credit to the Indian team and SRT who took the game away from us
Hopes they can still qualify with a bit of fortune
Ganguly thanks everybody and says the way we have played has made
the whole country proud
Felt comfortable with chasing the total, congratulater SRT and his
other btasmen

Man of the Match is Sachin Tendulkar for the match winning innings
We have njoyed bringing this game and hope you will enjoy tomorrows
game between England and Australia
Good bye all
