A clear easy run into the super eights, we now face South Africa in what will be a test. Our form is up much more however, as South Africa didn't carry any points forward. We stay in Australia, back in Adelaide and have been sent into bat. It is a very similar pitch to last week when we played here, so we know what to expect. We made a brilliant 328 for 5, myself making a not so good 8 runs. My brother Glenn and Kudua though produced excellent hundreds at different stages of the game. Glenn made 110 off 74 balls, managing being run out.
Bowling was tough, but we managed to get the win. They through the bat with luck, finding edges through gaps, and streaky shots. I got 2 wickets at a pretty expensive rate off my 8 overs, going for 46 runs.

We play Australia who have struggled. They are really out of form and aren't looking as relaxed as they were in the last series we played them. Once again, won the toss, and once again will bat first. We blasted them with the bat. Sehwag went out in the first over, which left me to come to the crease but i was confident and fell short of a hundred. Glenn made 190 not out off 129 balls, and is the best batting display I have ever seen. We made 377 for 2, Tendulkar making an unbeaten 96.
After my innings, i bowled late in the innings and managed a wicket in my two overs.

We fly to Aukland, New Zealand and quickly prepare for the match against West Indies, who appear to be a strong team who are the most feared by us. We made a dismal effort with the bat to start off, being at 5-74 and in big trouble, myself out for 14 off 12 balls, but a strong partnership which was solid to consolidate a handy score of just under 300 by Deshpande and Kudua saw them each make unbeatne hundreds.
My bowling was shite, producing 1 wicket for a massive 70 runs. But the result was what mattered, and we won by the closest of margins, 1 run.
