Adilede Cricket of 90 over
Will the play of 90 over left in the Adilede test prove adequate for the fall of 19 wickets; this is the question which is bubbling within the minds of most of cricketing lovers through out the world.
If this has been the shorter version [ODI] of the cricket I might the first one to support this but this is traditional test cricket and for this surely even the acute optimism will oppose supporting happening of this tomorrow at oval. Though this is a fact for a result in this test early fall of just 9 Indian wickets is sufficient but considering the attitude shown by the Indian cricketers after the humiliating treatment received by them in Sydney test and the disputed umpiring decisions which forced India to lose this match, will surely prove reason for fall of 19 wickets.
In the present scenario, oval test is with the assured result of draw. Australian might have the satisfaction of going beyond the huge 526 runs scored by India in first inning but the time consumed by them in the process has forced the only possible result “draw” for this test. This test will be memorable for Ricky Pointing, not for scoring 140 runs even when he is running with out of farm, but for the satisfaction that during this inning he didn’t fall victim either to Harbhajan or to Sharma and succeeded in breaking the tandem.
Australians by batting at slowest possible rate of scoring had not only managed to get assured draw result for this test match but also handed over the powers of taking initiatives rested with hands of Indians. At the end of forth day Indians are eventually 8 for loss of Irfan Pathan’s wicket [after deducting first inning lead of 37 runs by Australia]. This is now left with Indian players to turn the final day in to ODI match by score vigorously in the first 50 over of the day and declare their second inning for asking the Australians to go for victory target in the vicinity of 250 in the remaining play of 40 odd over for a victory.
The forth day’s play brought glory for the budding all rounder Irfan Pathan as he become the 7th Indian player with double of 100 test wickets and 1000 runs. It was the same ground where this Indian speedster has taken his first test wicket in 2003 -2004.
There is nothing much considerable to write about as this test mach is heading towards a draw but who know what will happen tomorrow after all cricket is the game of glorious uncertainties.
