For full scoreboard and ball by ball details of the match click here. the main attraction of the match was fastest hafl century in any from of cricket be it tests, one day ot 20-20 championship. Yuvraj Singh Made 50 in 12 balls. His innigs also include hitting six sixes of English bowler Broad. Juss check the sisi sies in the youtube video below :



Also the ball to bal deatil of all sixes by our experts : Assault begin in the 19th over. Heres how over went by:

18.1 Broad to Yuvraj Singh, SIX, that's out the ground, super shot over cow corner and it just kept going up.

18.2 Broad to Yuvraj Singh, SIX, now that really is sweet, no more than a dismissive flick off his legs, swatting a fly, and the ball arcs deep into the crowd beyond backward square leg. The dodgy TV measurement says that's 111 yards but as it landed outside the ground how do they know? They guess that's how.

18.3 Broad to Yuvraj Singh, SIX, he's hitting them everywhere, he steps to leg and smashes the ball over extra cover and it keeps on traveling. The fireworks start on top of the scoreboard and they've been going off in the middle for some time.

18.4 Broad to Yuvraj Singh, SIX, Shiver me timbers! Broad goes round the wicket, bowls a filthy wide full toss and Yuvraj steers it over backward point and it clears the rope again.

18.5 Broad to Yuvraj Singh, SIX, down on one knee and larruped over midwicket, that one was more nine iron, it went into the night sky and dropped with a thud in the jubilant crowd. England have a team meeting.

Broad looks quizzical and miserable. Can he, can Yuvraj do it. Broad looks like a man who knows he is about to be mauled again.

18.6 Broad to Yuvraj Singh, SIX, and he has, Yuvraj leans back and smacks that over wide mid-on. It was the maximum from the moment it left that bat and the crowd was roaring as it flew.

ICC Cricket T20 world cup India vs Pak bowl out

India and Pakistan played out perhaps their most thrilling contest in a world competition Twenty 20 world cup match ended with a bow out. It reminded me of India vs Pakistan match 21 years ago at Sarjaha where Javed Miandad hit last ball six to beat India. Similiar Exciting win ovre pakistan was brought by Indian bowlers who held there nerves in the BOWL OUT as croes of nboth teams were equal at the end of 20 20 overs. From Indian side Virender Sehwag, Harbhajan Singh and Robin Uthappa hit the stumps where as Pakistan teams Yasir Arafat, Umar Gul and Shahid Afridi all missed the stumps.

Earlier Robin Uthappa recovered India from 36 for 4 to end 141 for 9 with with Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Irfan Pathan buttressing Uthappa's brilliant effort. The 33-year-old Misbah, who made a magnificent 53 from just 35 balls, had been an unlikely hero for Pakistan after Shahid Afridi's dismissal, with 39 needed from 15 balls, had left them in a seemingly hopeless situation.

3. Experience is like a comb that life gives you when you are bald.

4. This quote was made after Ganguly called Dravid for a run and midway sent him back and Dravid was run out in the third test against the West Indies at Barbados.”Ganguly has thrown a drowning man both ends of the rope.”

5. Sri Lankan score is running like an Indian taximeter.

6. Statistics are like biknis, they reveal more than what they hide.

7. Wickets are like wives - you never know which way they will turn!

8. He is like Indian three-wheeler, which will suck a lot of diesel but cannot go beyond 30!

9. The Indians are going to beat the Kiwis! Let me tell you, my friend that the Kiwi is the only bird in the whole world, which does not have wings!

This is Jontys Magic : what a run out ...



ICC rated top ten cricket dismissals

England v India, 2nd Test, Trent Bridge India complete seven-wicket win

India
First Innings: 481 (Tendulkar 91, Ganguly 79, Karthik 77, Jaffer 62, Laxman 54)
Second Innings: 73 for 3 beat England 198

England
First Innings: 198
Second Innings: 355 (Vaughan 124, Collingwood 63, Strauss 55, Zaheer 5-75)

The victory means India have now won at least one Test in ten of their last 12 tours, but have only won two of those series against a team other than Bangladesh or Zimbabwe. With the last Test at The Oval - a venue which has traditionally produced belters - India have an excellent opportunity to go on and get that rare overseas series victory. England, on the other hand, haven't lost a series at home since the 2001 Ashes, which sets up the last game of this series quite splendidly.
