But Karthik continues to impress with his positive attitude and tempremant which <span style="font-weight: bold;">almost</span> helped him to a century but as luck would have it he was given out what looked like a doubtful decision by <a href="http://content-ind.cricinfo.com/engvind/content/current/player/45454.html">Howell</a><br /><br />Karthik later admitted that he did nick the ball.<br /><br />But before karthik was out he put up a useful partnership with dravid who again failed to get a big score thanks to beautiful delivery by Anderson which could be the ball of the match !<br /><br />Tendulkar looked really scratchy but Ganguly wasn't, who went on to make 37 thanks to some awesome shots. Ganguly must be cursing the luck when he was a victim again of a poor decision.<br /><br />Now that India is 300 + thanks to a near ton by karthik. India much look to make a huge score in excess of 500 now that <a href="http://content-ind.cricinfo.com/engvind/content/current/player/28081.html">Dhoni </a>yet to come India could look get the runs in jiffy and put England to bat before tea.<br /><br /><a href="http://content-ind.cricinfo.com/engvind/content/current/player/30102.html">Zaheer khan</a> by must rubbing his hands in excitement as he would be itching to have a go at the england line up.<br /><br />Looking at the prominent footmarks <a href="http://content-ind.cricinfo.com/engvind/content/current/player/30176.html">Kumble </a>has a key role to play<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7966015238120563561-4783246349122319659?l=the-cricket-spot.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Insomniachttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13813444938088407826noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7966015238120563561.post-44792985364808262392007-08-09T21:03:00.000-07:002007-08-09T21:04:12.560-07:00<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/2OP72VCgCk4"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/2OP72VCgCk4" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7966015238120563561-4479298536480826239?l=the-cricket-spot.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Insomniachttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13813444938088407826noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7966015238120563561.post-39791846753907537562007-08-09T16:14:00.000-07:002007-08-09T21:00:04.341-07:00I am yet another cricket crazed dude from India, and after have enough in posting at forums I've decided to start my own blog !<br /><br />This blog will try to include views, news and gossip from the world of cricket.<br /><br />Stay tuned for also funny side of cricket, cuz as someone said Cricket is a funny game !<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7966015238120563561-3979184675390753756?l=the-cricket-spot.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Insomniachttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13813444938088407826noreply@blogger.com0
