Its heating up
Around 20 minutes to go
We have got Eoin Morgan with Sunil Gavaskar on the ground

Sunil: So Eoin match near, hows the going
Morgan: Yeah am really excited and looking forward for a good match
Sunil: WE will be the wicket keeper, hows ur practice for wicket keeping
Morgan: Great, the coach and captain guided me alot and they had enough faith on me as a wicket keeper and i wanna make them feel proud.
Sunil: Good batting track and good for pacers too, what do you say
Morgan: Exactly , will score runs here but pacers got some advantage, still somehow our batsmen are looking to not allow the pacers to take any advantage by scoring fast.
Sunil: Good luck, have a good day

baptu from M.A Chidambaram stadium have just tweeted this:
"i wish all the very best to ur opponent dominators...they have perform admirably in their first match which makes them a strong contender...so i hope this turns out to be a cracker of a game for our beloved spectator"
goooooooooooooooo cosmosssssssssss

hey naqi.. wer's cosmo team analysis on the first page??

NEarly 10 minutes to go
On the the other hand Its Michael Holding with Ryan Ten Doeschate

Holding: Ryan, again included, what are u looking forward now
Doeschate: Oh , did not get many chances to perform and show my skills in previous match but this is a golden oppurtunity and want to use it.
Holding: What do you say about ur opposition
Doeschate: Yeah a strong team, can give tough time but we are ready for their challenge.
Holding: How has been the captains support towards u.
Doeschate: The captain, birthday boy has been great , he is always gonna remain the best and he supported me alot in batting bowling, gave me chances and i wanna proove them.
Holding: Wishing u best of luck, hope so u proove them.

Cosmos Analysis:
Good strong batting and bowling line-up.SUprising to see Sehwag at No.3 , should ahve been the opener yeah but he is a great man, can play anywhere. Watson eyes on him, on how he uses this track, Surely he will. Afridi again makes the line-up look pretty strong becoz he guarantees some big shots, lets see if he can play them and strong finishing with Morgan their too. Vettori, good thinking bringing him back again lets see how he works out and Malinga , can he stun the Dominators batsmen by his swinging yorkers , we have too see but in total a really strong line-up. All the batsmen are big hitters so u can expect sixes and thats the best thing of a match. if Cosmos get moving.

Dominators Analysis:
A good strong line up. Unchanged though but this time the track is different. 1 spinner thats a good decision on this track, coz many spinners wont help here. Dilshan will though bowl but he can go for runs so everyone expecting Dilshan to score again. Mccullum and Dilshan if early slog can help , then KP and Amla can carry the innings forward. They batted tactically and really well last match but this is another challenge. This track supports batting and lets see what big names do, Dhoni the birthday boy will go to slog and lets see how he slogs. Can he celebrate his birthday with happy face. Bowling again strong and young, Roach and Razzak will follow Lee as this bowling track supports pacers too and Lee is expected to take something out of this. Roach eyes on him if he can be economical again.
