Good job sais. Congratulations on your fist win.saisrini80 said:Presentation Ceremony - India vs England
Ian Botham: Welcome to the presentation ceremony! We have all witnessed an interesting match between India and England with India emerging winners by 3 wickets but not before England had put up a tough fight! First, I would like to call upon the England captain, Vaughan. Bad luck today Vaughan?
Vaughan: Yes! We were definitely 40-50 runs short of what we should have scored! The Indians bowled and fielded well today! We were denied scoring opportunities later in the innings and that led to our dismissals! We put up a good fight with the ball but the total was too small to defend!
I.Botham: How do you rate ur chances in the tournament?
Vaughan: We've only lost one game here! We still have a lot of games to play! Hopefully, we will bounce back and enter the semifinals!
I.Botham: Thanks Vaughan. Now I call upon the winning captain, Ganguly to collect the winners cheque of 25,000 pounds! Congragulations Saurav!
Saurav: Thanks a lot Ian! It was a great day for us today! Our bowlers won us the match today! Our batting though we lost wickets regularly, we kept up with the pressure and chased the total successfully! All credit to the team effort!
I.Botham: Your bowling and fielding was special today? Any secrets to this change?
Saurav: We've been improving in these departments for a long time and the results have started showing! Our fielding has always improved with the entry of youngsters of Yuvraj, Agarkar, etc
I.Botham: Thanks Saurav! Now for the Man of the match! The adjudicators have decided that the Man of the match would be Mahendra Singh Dhoni for his plucky knock of 61. I know ask Dhoni to collect his award from the dias! Good knock under pressure Dhoni!

Dhoni: Thanks Ian! It feels good to contribute to the team's victory! It was tough to bat in those conditions and against great bowlers! Had to curb my usual style of slam bang batting for a more conservative approach!
I.Botham: You have finally stuck gold at the opening slot? Will you open in future?
Dhoni: Depends on what the team needs! Opening also suits me as the field restrictions are on and getting boundaries are easier. But if the team needs me in the lower order to fire, I would definitely play down the order!
I.Botham: Thanks Dhoni! Thats all we have here from Birmingham. See you for the next match here! Till then, its good night!
