gave us alot confidence, just eager to use it forward
Naseer: Can we expect you to score today
Watson: Yeah sure , m always trying to show my best and i hope i can do it again
Naseer: So good Luck Watson, nice talking to you

Analysis:
Champions Analysis:
As usual the line up always
seems to be strong but they have been unable to perform.Gilchrist and
Strauss if they give a good start then Ross Taylor and Kallis can really
take the innings together very well. And then Kevin O Brien has got
some great finishing skills. But Kallis should have been No.3 Coz he
builds innings well and fast as Taylor can be usefull as a good
finisher. In Bowling Champions have got Indo-Pak's current best pacers
and hope so They bowl well. If Zaheer does a good job with the new ball
then Gul will find it easy with the old ball. Both of the players will
be supported By Mendis and Hossain, there support means alot for them
and Kallis has always been usefull

Cosmos Analysis:
Surprising Morgan , sent
early, Well Virender Sehwag expected to score fast on this track, but
maybe Watson could have been the best choice to open , but yeah Morgan
he has got some great skills to. Eyes on Afridi and Watson, both
included as finishers , lets see how they play. Watson has been looking
good but yet Afridi is yet to show his talent. Really strong bowling
line-up and a perfect combination. Afridi, Steyn and Malinga expected to
attack as Vettori and Anderson expected to stop the flow of runs. Lets
see if it works out as before.

Post-Match Presentation:
Sanjay: What a match we saw today. After the rain that will be the best action u will want to see to make u feel

better.Champions
were simply outstanding today. First Off All Introducing the
guests.........Now i will like to call the Cosmos Captain Budhatiya.

Sanjay: Baptu tough match, a close encounter, what do you say
Budhatiya: It was a tough match. But Champions were simply great to see playing and i think so they deserved to win.
Sanjay: Was the total chaseable. Were you happy with it.
Budhatiya:
I think so Champions really batted well but yeah every total is
chasable, and i think so according to the conditions i would say the
total was chasable But unlucky a bit.
Sanjay: So now in a tough position, A win is needed to make it to the playoffs
Budhatiya:
Oh yes, a win is what we are in search for but the players have been
trying to show their best and they will try to show their best.
Sanjay: So good luck to Cosmos for their future.

And Now i will like to call the winning captain Andrew Strauss.
Sanjay: Andrew , u guyz are still alive how does it feel now.
Strauss: Relief, some pressure released but job is not not done yet though.
Sanjay: Were u happy with total u reached
Strauss: YEs it was a great total and i think so it gave us the confidence to defend the total
Sanjay: SO Can we expect you to carry this confidence forward.
Strauss: We are looking forward to continue this game and yeah we always try to show our best.

Sanjay:
Now its the time for The Man Of The Match. He scored 65 runs of 48
deliveries taking his team to a great total. Adam Gilchrist.
Sanjay: So finally u opened, did u convince ur captain or he did it himself
Gilchrist:
I was happy to play at any position but before my cap thought that i
can finish well but he tried sending me up the order and i think it
worked.
Sanjay: So what were the discussions between you and Strauss.
Gilchrist:
Not really much, just guiding each other out , Strauss trying to give
me more stike and i tried to smash the ball more.
Sanjay: So what about next match, can we see u in action again
Gilchrist: Sure , always trying my best and looking forward for it.

Henry: U have taken i think so 10 wickets till now, can we see u continuing this form.
Lee:
It has been a good tournament till now for me and i am really hopefull
to continue the current bowling form for the up coming matches.
Henry: Today Naqi will be back most probably, Then bowling with Roach and Razzak, how does it goes
Lee:
Naqi sure looking forward for his performance, and yeah it feels great
bowling with so talented and brilliant bowlers like Roach and Razzak and
this gives me alot of confidence.
Henry: Good Lee, lets see if you can do it again for ur team.

Umar Akmal:
Geo Super: Mirza Iqbal Baig, in a show Bolain Kya Baat Hai, had Umar Akmal as a guest. Took the interview, lets see it.

Mirza: So Umar, Titans are all set for today's match vs Unbeaten Dominators

ever i get any more chance i will try to take full advantage of it.
Mirza: What has been ur coach guiding u to do
Akmal: To show ur 100% and always fight till the end, try being consistent.
Mirza: Good talking too you Umar, good luck for ur match.

Dwayne BRavo:
Around 35 Minutes now. ITs Waqar Younis On The Ground with Dwayne Bravo

Waqar: I have got Dwayne Bravo here for a talk. Dwayne big match, ready for it
Bravo: Yes we are, looking forward to win and secure 4th position
Waqar: There are rumours spread over that the team management is not happy or something. Is that true
Bravo: No, people are made to spread rumours and we have no problem with what ever managment says, we are here to play good cricket.
Waqar: Now its a match which will decide ur position, 5th or 4th, what do you think , can u win the toughie
Bravo: Sure Why Not, m looking forward for it.
Waqar: Good Luck for ur task

TM DILSHAN:
Not much time to go by now
We have got Sunil Gavaskar with Tm Dilshan on the ground

Gavaskar: Dilshan, hows the practice going on
Dilshan: Ah i think so the practice sessions going great for me and am looking forward to play well today
Gavaskar: So unbeaten till now, can we expect u to win 1 more match
Dilshan: We are always on the charge, trying to win and am hoping for a good match.
Gavaskar: how has it been going with Mccullum
Dilshan: Mccullum really is a great person, On Field and Off Field he is always great to see, he supports me alot and he is a good pal to
Gavaskar: Thank you for spending some time with us Dilshan. Good Luck

Analysis:
Dominators Analysis:
Dominators are on a
winning streak. But they won their last matches due to their openers
morely. But now is the real test coming. This current track morely
supports bowling. U can expect the ball to swing and seam. Middle Order
batsmen like Dhoni , Peitersen and Ten Doeschate have to be sensible.
Mccullum it wont be easy to continue slogging here, neither for
Mccullum, neither For Dilshan. But Lee , And Roach should try to use
this track with their skills. Roach as expected should try to stop the
flow of runs and Lee to take wickets. Razzak would say its a fine track
for him but he can also try to earn it.

Titans Analysis:
On such a track Sachin has to
show his best. The team morely depends on Mahela And Sachin, a good
start then Bravo seems to be in a fine form to continue the good start
forward. Umar Akmal is aggressive not performing, but he gets another
chance, surely out of form but he has got the chance to proove himself.
Surprising really to see Shakib at No.10. He should be there at No.7 coz
he is a good finisher. On this track Tait and Mokrel both are
aggressive bowlers lets see how they use the track. Swann and Shakib
could get some variation over here so main bowlers are Tait and Morkel
though.

Post Match Presentation:
Rameez: Welcome to the post match presentation. Today We Saw a Match in which Dominators were simply the Best. What a win by them today. Well first introducing the guests...... Now first i will like to call Cricdude for a chat plz.
Rameez: Cricdude, another defeat, what do you think about ur teams performance
CricDude: Well the team has always been at its best but i think so luck had not supported us till now.
Rameez: U got a wicket first ball but then Mccullum and Amla took over. What went wrong.
CricDude: Mccullum and Amla really played well and nothing was going right for us, they were smashing good and bad all sorts off deliveries and they were terrific.
Rameez: Will You Bounce Back, Try to Reach 4th Position
CricDude: Well now we are under pressure but yeah we have not given up and looking forward for a come back some how.
Rameez: Well Cricdude, Best Of Luck

Rameez: And Now its the Time To Call The Winning and Happy Captain Ms Dhoni.
Rameez: Ms congrats and well done,What helped u win
Dhoni: The TEam work, But Mccullum as usual terrific and Amla did a great job, scoring 80 runs and i think so our bowling was fantastic too.
Rameez; First Ball and a wicket, Dilshan gone and did this make u get frustated or angry.
Dhoni: TEams get a bad and good start but main thing is that how they cover the start, yeh disappointment but Amla and Mccullum really did the job back again.
Rameez: And ur bowling, did not go for runs, economical instead of aggression
Dhoni: Yeah that was our plan, to be defensive dont go for runs and it worked really well i say.
Rameez; Good Job Ms and hoping that u keep it up.

Rameez: Now its time to call the person to recieve his third consecutive Man Of Match Award scoring 89. Brendon Mccullum.
Rameez: Ah BRendon, u r going terrific arent u
Mccullum: Yeah and m really happy, hope so i can continue this performance
Rameez: What exactly was goingon ur mind after Dilshan went
Mccullum; I thought at that stage that the ball can swing alot but well it did not much and Amla supported well, He alsoplayed a vital role.
Rameez: The Best Score till now 197 and Highest Individual Score till now 89. Can you even score more
Mccullum: Really i have been practicing alot over my batting and am hopefull that i can always make my team get happy.
Rameez: Good hearing that Brendon, Hope so u can dominate even more Good Luck.So that was the action for today, meet you tommorrow till then Bye-Bye

Taibu: SUrely yes and m looking forward for a good game and take my team to win
Lal: Less Morale due to defeat maybe, but can we expect Titans to perform
Taibu: YEs Titans is a great team , although we have been defeated thrice but we are looking for a come back
Lal: A real different line up, what was the captain saying to u guyz after the defeat on how to play
Taibu: Well the captain gave us hopes, he said us to fight and never give up, we can still make it to top 3 and thats our aim.
Lal: So never give up Taibu, and good luck for ur aim

Shahdat Hossain:
Mike Atherton is on the ground with Champions bowler Shahadat Hossain

Mike: Hossain, fight for 4th position, ready for it
Hossain: Yeah, we are all set and surely will be an epic encounter
Mike: Titans will have a less morale , can u take some advantage of it

Mike: Hows the practice going
Hossain: The practice has been terrific, and yeh am looking for a good match today
Mike: Good Luck Hossain, nice talking to you

Analysis:
Titans Analysis:
The most surprising line up
till now. Shakib opening with Mahela and Sachin at no.4. Well yeah
defeats make u think of something new. Well Shakib can smash the ball
well so lets see how he does as an opener. Mahela once again has to show
his excellence and Sachin can be an important person later. Bravo all
eyes on him , hopefull that he can perform well again. But whats the
benefit of sending Umar Akmal at No.8. Thats late well lets see if he
wil bat or not and if he does then how will he perform. Tait out of
form, needs to regain form and ball well. Morkel also has not been
consistent and will be checked too. Swann needs to support the pacers a
little more and so does Shakib. Lets see how it goes

Champions Analysis:
A strong team, Andrew
Strauss and Adam Gilchrist are the main players to see and perform ,
Lets see if they can give another good start and continue it, Ross
Taylor in the middle order with Jacques Kallis makes the team look
stronger but Ross is yet to perform so we have to wait to see him
perform. Bowling attack is totally teriffic with Umar Gul And Zaheer
leading the attack. Zaheer he is the precious buddy on how he gets
things going, Umar Gul can go for runs but he takes wickets but Zaheer
should not allow the runs to flow. Mendis and Hossain need not to get
smashed and should try to support their senior bowlers.

Post Match Presentation:
Harsha: Welcome To Post Match Presentation. What a terrific performance by Champions today. Titans were simply outclassed. First introducing the guests........ Now i will like to call disappointed Cricdude for a talk.

Harsha: Cricdude, again nothing went right with Titans, disappointed
CricDude: Yeah, fairly disappointed, cant get enough runs on the board
Harsha: What could be reason for such a bad performance
Cricdude: Players dont seem to play with the best morale, not bowling the best line, not playing the best shots, nothing

going well for us.
Harsha: An Experiment today with big risks taken by not having a regular line up , and the risk went bad.
CricDude: Yeh CHampions were outstanding and they deserved to win.
HArsha: Good Luck Cricdude, Hope so ur team can give better performance in the future.
Harsha: Now I will call the happy man Andrew Strauss for some words plz.
Harsha: Outstanding, did u expect such classic bowling to be bowled today
Strauss; Ah yeh, the bowlers were really terrific, they exceeded my expectations but i always had high hopes for my bowlers.
Harsha: Then in batting Gilli was excellent,was it the plan to finish things fast
Strauss: Not really but yeah Gilchrist did a terrific job and we were looking to win with a good earned Net Run Rate.
Harsha: Can you continue this outstanding form, three defeats followed y two terrific wins.
Strauss: Yes we will try our best, next match we will face Dominators and yeah we are practicing really hard to try to make

it to the play offs.
Harsha: Well Good Strauss, we wish u best of luck.

Harsha: ANd now its time for the man of match. A bowler who was terrific. 1 maiden, 4 overs , 17 runs and 5 wickets. Great bowling, Ajantha Mendis.
Harsha: Mendis Well DOne, great bowling today, what was the reason for it
Mendis: Yes, it was a good day for me, and i worked really hard to earn it
Harsha: Did u thought of earning 5 wickets today.
Mendis: Never thought of it, my job was to help my captain and bowl good deliveries and this helped earning 5.
Harsha: How was the bowlers support
Mendis: The bowlers were supporting me constantly, and were guiding me on how and where to bowl, and it worked
Harsha: Thanks Mendis, we wish you good luck. That was all for today, Meet U tommorrow

Analysis:
Champions Analysis :
Champions have got their
ConfidenCe and seems like a great line up. bell it feels like Champions
have used their seCond life using their batsmen niCely. Adam GilChrist
has beCome a perfeCt opener with Andrew Strauss and their opening
partnership matters on how they play. Ross Taylor at No.3 lifts the
teams strength and he also has a vital role to play. JaCques Kallis has
been in a good bowling form but he is still feeling the heat with the
bat s eyes on how he performs. A really strong bowling line up with Umar
Gul And Zaheer Khan again, if they get going no one Can stop them.
Shahadat has to give a good start again, Coz he seems like to regain
form and Mendis Can he perform again. be have to see that.

Dominators Analysis:

Dominators, they have
been unChanged almost through out, the first Change of real players
inCluding Hafeez for Ten DoesChate. Surprising. Openers have done the
job for Dominators, and middle order have not got muCh to proove. But
this time they should be ready. MCCullum they have been dependant on
him, lets see if he Can keep hopes high. Dilshan needs to reCover the
dent he got in the last matCh and Amla needs to Continue his form. Yet
be are to see Ms And Kevin with Hafeez to perform, they Could Come to
bat this matCh, Can they do well. Got to see. With Brett Lee the bowling
has been terrifiC. He has been Consistent and needs to Continue bowling
good lenght and line. RoaCh and Razzak has supported Lee and they have
to support him. Hafeez with the ball Can something to see, he Can skid
the bowl well, lets see if he Can do that well again.
