If you are in such a hurry, why dont you urself start a tournament? guys like ashu are not hired to start tournaments! they just start it by their own. and they will start it whenever they like!

hope u understand!
That will make him understand quite well.

By the way nice signature sai.
 
Katich came on the fall of Martyn and he started to build another good partnership with Jacques. Jacques continued to play without any troble and Katich has also looked in nice touch as they added 34 runs among themselve. Vaughan brought continuous bowling changes as he gave ball to Anderson and Flintoff but to no use although they brought the run rate a bit low.

At the end of 25 overs the game is still on as Australia is now 132/3 and they still need 139 more runs to win this Planetcricket Super Cup.

Thanks a lot buddy! Am getting the hang of Photoshop CS2

Btw, good going for Australia! If they go on the same way, they should win here against England and re-confirm their World Champion status!

I think had India beaten England in the semis, it would have been a different story! :D
 
The match is still on as Australia lost another wicket. This time Katich fell victim to very poor running between the wickets as Strauss made no mistake and Jones did the rest of the work. Katich went for 20 runs and Australia lost their fourth wicket on 137.

The new batsmen is debutant Thornely. It is a big occasion for the young man but he also has a huge responsibility now on his shoulders.

Thornely came at the fall of Katich. The debutant looked a bit nervous initially but then started to middle the balls. He and Jacques took the Australian score to 156/4 in 30 overs as the required run rate is now just under 6. Jacques is still playing well on 72.

Vaughan brought back Hermison for bowling and he quickly gave England another breakthrough as Australia lost their fifth wicket on 165. Thornely edged a good out-swinging delivery from Hermison straight to Jones. Thornely made only 14 and Australia is now in huge troubles. That brougth Watson to the crease.


So at the end of 35 overs, Australia is 178/5 as they still need 93 runs to win and required rate is no above six pr over. Jacques is now Australia's only hope as he is still not out on 83.

Now thats shifting slightly towards England, though Aussies are still tigers to underestimate with!
 
Then Im just gonna be the hunter who shoots the tigers down (no offence, I do love animals) cuz England are gonna win this!
 
This is 100th post of this thread. I think this final match proved to be a great success. Thanks everyone for motivating me. I will post the update in few minutes.
 
Watson came at the fall of Thornely. These two have to play till the end so that Australia can go home with the golden trophy. Watson and Jacques cautiosly moved the scorecard by taking singles mainly.

In the mean time, Jacques get to his century of 129 balls with the help of 10 boundaries. A great inning by youngster on his debut. The crowd gave a huge cheers as Jacques celebrated his ton with Watson in the field. Even Trescothick and Vaughan congratulated Jacques.

With this Australia reached 206/5 in 40 overs. They still need 65 runs to win in 10 overs. These two have now added 41 runs for sixth wicket.

Australia clinches close to win

Jacques and Watson continued to extend their partnership and took Australia close to win. Jacques played a very mature inning as he continued to concentrate even after completing the century and worked around to pick gaps for singles with boundaries in between. Watson on the other end is giving perfect support to Jacques with good intelligent thinking. Vaughan tried every option he had but all in vain. Flintoff bowled well but failed to pick wickets when they were most neede. Anderson was a complete disister.

After 45 overs, Australia is looking in very solid position at 236/5. They still need 35 runs in 5 overs with 5 wickets in hand. Jacques and Watson have added 71 runs so far for sixth wicket. Jacques is not out 117.
