Transcript
00:30Championship of Legends 2024 moves to Northampton, coming to you from the County Cricket Ground
00:36where India champions take on their Australian counterparts.
00:40Well the Australians, it's a good side this with Aaron Finch and Sean Marsh, Ben Dunk,
00:48Callum Ferguson, Ben Cutting, Dan Christian, Tim Payne, Nathan Coulter now, Ben Lachlan
00:53and Pete Siddle with Brett Lee the skipper, a very well balanced side who've won the toss
00:59and they're going to bowl first.
01:02India have had to make a change because Gukirat has had a late injury so Pawan Negi comes
01:09into the side and Rahul Sharma, the tall leg spinner gets a game, probably the tallest
01:16leg spinner in the world at the moment.
01:19Plenty of household names there, Robin Uthapur, Ambati Rayudu and Harbhajan Singh.
01:31Swing and that is very quietly been put away for four.
01:37It swung but the ball was too short in length so it needed to be a fuller length.
01:44It's too short, way too short and that has been blazed for four.
01:51You cannot give Sean Marsh any width, any freedom, he'll punish you mercilessly.
02:01Uppish but with full conviction and it's four.
02:11You don't want that, you don't want to be swatted away off the back foot.
02:16Oh he's knocked him over with an absolute gem, that's the ball of the tournament.
02:25Aniridh Singh has removed Aaron Finch in sublime style.
02:31Well the previous over Aniridh Singh cut Aaron Finch in half, have a look at this, it's come
02:37back a good, lovely wrist position, lovely, lovely ball and Aaron Finch, he looked a little
02:43bit out of sorts today, gone for seven, that's a big wicket, 22 for one.
02:48It's a good punch through cover, it'll get him four runs as well.
02:57Oh that's a good hit, what a good hit that is.
03:03Ben Dunk opening his shoulders and really throwing his hands at the ball.
03:14Goodness me that is good, flicked, caressed onto the leg side, little too short and dealt
03:23beautifully.
03:26This pitch is not the quickest so batters can really sit back and hit you like that.
03:35Another boundary, end of the power play and a good one, 56 for one, Finchie was the only
03:42wicket Australia lost in this.
03:45What the great spinners do is try and get as many revolutions on it as possible, this
03:54one just skids across.
03:59Another one, it's in the air, should be taken, should be taken and it is taken, Aniridh Singh
04:05is the man.
04:06It looks like it's another slower delivery so India thinking cleverly here because it's
04:13such a good pitch you've got to take pace off at times and in the end quite a simple
04:18catch for Aniridh Singh.
04:21He's gone for 17, Australia champion, 63 for two, where is he's out, there is he's
04:28out because he's got a big gap, he's got it backward of points so that is now pressure
04:32release shot, got it, brilliant from Harbhajan, this one just a little bit flatter, a little
04:42bit quicker and Marsh is gone.
04:45Earlier the ball was little outside the option, watch that, magnificent, all the experience
04:53of Harbhajan Singh coming into play and getting a wicket of Sean Marsh of 41, it's 71 for
04:59three, Australia in trouble.
05:05Boundary of the last ball of Nagy's over and that's not unusual to see a leg spinner
05:15drag down an early delivery, that's a big hit, into the side screen for six.
05:29Dancing down the track, getting to the pitch of the ball as well and getting the elevation
05:34and the power behind that shot, they needed that six.
05:39Up and over extra cover, delightful stroke, short, helped around the corner and it will
05:50be four, too short from Irfan, oh he's gone, my word Harbhajan, roll back the ears, what
06:03a stunner.
06:04He's looking to go big on the onside, oh that's a really good catch, his cold fingertips,
06:14it's a good catch by Harbhajan Singh.
06:18Coming around the wicket, goes aerial, goes high, goes long, needs few of those, the Australian
06:24champions starts it over with a six.
06:27Coming around the stumps, that was right in the slot.
06:32Dan Christian, he's a dangerous player.
06:37Slower again, outside off stump, goes over extra this time, this super power hitting
06:42from Dan Christian.
06:44Same plans, outside off stump, got it, lodged straighter, now that's an ease my trip six
06:51to start the over with.
06:54Anurit missing the length, he was ready, he was quite deep in the crease as well, then
07:01Ben Cutting, and we were discussing it earlier, you know as a batter was coming, it's all
07:05about who can execute.
07:06Elbow, elbow room, there he goes again, another ease my trip six, back to back from Ben Cutting.
07:15Don't mind Anurit doing here, he's got back off length, lodged straighter, the leg side
07:19square boundary is very long, it's the longest part of the ground right now.
07:26Over into the pitch, but lodged straighter, another one, another ease my trip maximum.
07:33Can somebody else do it in front of him, Ben Cutting, 22 of 10, and again that was a brilliant
07:41shot.
07:42RP, oh that's high, and that's handsome, all the way into the stands, the ease my trip
07:51maximum, another over, which starts with a six.
07:55Dan Christian, quickly on to 44 of 26, I just said it, can't bowl the same length which
08:02you did in the first pitch.
08:06Two straight, that's another one, that's another ease my trip maximum, wow that's some amazing
08:13power hitting, Dan Christian brings up his half century of just 27, wow, and partnership
08:21also of 50 now, 55 of 22, absolute carnage here.
08:31Oh that's another big one, slices it over point, that's outside the ground, mind you
08:37this is the longest end, the longest part of the ground, doesn't matter, another ease
08:41my trip maximum.
08:42It's a really really good surface for batting, otherwise that's not a shot you can play with
08:48that ease.
08:50There was a lot of room, it was not a greatest of deliveries, but look at that power from
08:54Dan Christian, easy, 22 already, last two to go, lot straight, another one, oh my god,
09:04Dan Christian a gift, keeps giving, another six, another ease my trip, six, maybe didn't
09:11get it right, maybe 220 on the cards the way these guys are going at the moment, pretty
09:16much every delivery is going out of the ground, full toss goes over extra cover, another ease
09:24my trip, six.
09:28You have to nail your Yorkers every single time, look at that shot, power, there's some
09:35unbelievable hitting here from Dan Christian, double, it's been expensive 42 already, highest
09:42by an Australian this series, full toss again and straight to Harbhajan, catches it, second
09:48time tonight, it looks easy, but tell you what, that was straight out of the middle
09:55of the bat.
09:56For the night, it was a good catch though, it was struck quite hard, but Harbhajan Singh
10:02still got it, and Dan Christian out for 69, 193 for five Australia champions.
10:08Genius of an innings from Dan Christian has changed things for the Australian champions,
10:12last delivery of the innings, another full toss, a low one, Rahul Sharma, can he cut
10:18it off, or has he, big question mark there, round three there, Tempain, it's a good effort
10:28in the end from Rahul Sharma, but has he stopped that boundary, it seems he has Abhishek, that's
10:35a great effort.
10:36The Aussie champions, 199 for five after 20, they're that bit disappointed not to reach
10:44that 200 mark, but they've got 200 for India to chase down, but they had a good start,
10:53the Aussie champions, and the power play got enough runs, especially coming from a bigger
10:59part, Sean Marsh is back, 41 of 27, his partnership along with Dunk was very crucial after losing
11:05Finch early, and the contributions of Ferguson cutting, but the headliner is Dan Christian,
11:1269 of just 33.
11:15The spinners did alright, especially Harbhajan Singh, a wicket for him, just 16 runs of three
11:21overs, but the seamers started off well, but went for plenty in their second spell, 47,
11:30couple of wickets for Dhawal Kulkarni, but he too was that bit expensive, 48.
11:36India looking to win this game, they need 200 runs at 10 and over.
11:45Ready to rock and roll I think, 200 to win, and a win will get you to the semi-finals,
11:50Brett Lee with a new white ball in his hand.
11:54Lovely timing, but there you go, straight away, that's good captaincy from Brett Lee,
11:58fielders in the correct position.
12:02Oh, no slip in play, it's a thick outside edge, he may, he may just have opened the
12:07face ever so slightly, but it was excellent bowling, and races away for the first boundary
12:12of the chase.
12:14Flogged into the deep cover region, let's test the outfield, it's quick enough, we have
12:19had a bit of rain, but that scoots away for a back-to-back boundary, well done.
12:27Now, full, doesn't get all of it, but gets enough I think, oh, what a catch, that's an
12:33absolute beauty.
12:36We've seen some nice things happen in this game.
12:39That's an absolute beauty.
12:42We've seen some great catches in the tournament, and this is probably one of the better ones.
12:48What a meaty moment of the day, not the easiest when the ball's getting away from you, you
12:54have to run backwards there.
12:57Oh, really well judged, had to cover a lot of ground there, Nathan Coulter-Nile.
13:02Outstretched hands there, keeping the ball in control.
13:06What a catch, Irfan Pathan, goes for 9, it's 12 for 1.
13:13Oh, that's sweet, that's really beautiful, that from Robi Utapa.
13:21Carts him over, mid-on, who's inside the ring, and at the moment.
13:25That was in the air, and also will run away for a boundary, and I think that is going
13:32to calm some nerves.
13:36The timing is absolutely beautiful, someone's shouted catch, I don't know who was going
13:41to catch it, because it hit the pickets before he could blink.
13:47Now then, straight up in the air, and a simple catch.
13:52Straight up in the air, and a simple catch for the captain.
13:58Just looking to chip it over, that mid-on feeling, shot the face of the bat, and well
14:06judged catch by Bradley.
14:09The full flow of the arms would have been a better option, Robi Utapa gets out for 12,
14:1334 for 2.
14:17Lovely timing, stroked away, Yuvraj is up and running.
14:22Peterson, Chris Gayle, I mean today the world has changed, we are fan of every good, beautiful
14:29bowler.
14:32I didn't read the change of pace completely, it's just that change of pace, the world is
14:38guys, change of pace.
14:40Suresh Raina played all over it.
14:47Suresh Raina goes for 12, 39 for 3.
14:52Great shot, that's one of the shots of the match, Yusuf Pathan with impeccable timing.
15:02Flicked away, that'll run for 4 for Yuvraj.
15:12It's 4 more, third man is up inside the circle.
15:17I've seen Yusuf Pathan play in a few of these competitions before, he starts slow.
15:26Well that's a little feather on it, straight after that 2 and a half minute strategic timeout,
15:30Yuvraj Singh, hint of width, was looking to go square, looking to find that boundary,
15:37that's a little feather.
15:40The inside edge and Tim Paine, cleanses up and great bit of glove work there.
15:48Yuvraj Singh departs for 19, the Indian champion 71 for 4.
15:54There's a great opportunity here for Yusuf and especially Negi.
15:58Well that's nice, that's very well placed indeed, that's skidded onto the bat, hurried
16:03Yusuf but he was up to the task.
16:05It got so cold to try and grip and put some revs on the ball, oh stop.
16:09That's his area, that's his area.
16:12Power Negi, gets one of those flat ease my trip 6s.
16:18As soon as Yuvraj got out, another south 4 came out and exactly for that reason,
16:22he's right in the slot, goes flat.
16:26Looking at Peter Siddle, he's given away 15 so far.
16:30Full toss, that was a gift.
16:33Easy pickings for Yusuf Pathan.
16:38Tries going down the ground, top edge, goes over third and trickles its way into the boundary line.
16:50Hasn't really timed it well enough.
16:53The toe end of the bat and holds it out to Dan Christian.
16:59He's not going to make a mistake like that, easy catch for Dan Christian.
17:04No real timing, watch the bat turn in the hands of Power Negi completely.
17:09This goes to show the kind of grip pressure he had on the bat.
17:13You're looking to hit a 6, it's better when you have that sort of grip pressure.
17:19Oh that's nicely played, he was hurried, managed it really well in the end Yusuf.
17:23Now that's his strength, Coolton Isles that is.
17:26Adjusted really well towards the end, just swivelling on that front leg.
17:32Just skid through, another slower one, goes over extra cover, that's a quality shot.
17:38He's in complete control of that one.
17:42Christian was outstanding with the bat and now he's just delivering with the ball, not on that occasion, that's gone.
17:48That's gone, that's gone, that's out of here.
17:50Magnificent hit, need few of them.
17:54Another ease my trip 6, 50 up as well for Yusuf Pathan.
18:0154 from 36, strike rate of 150, his first 6.
18:06Only got one ball to go in the over, they still need 77 from 25.
18:10It's nearly 18 and a half and over.
18:15Gets a 4, so a decent end to the over but it's still only 14 from the over.
18:2016 gone, 127 for 5.
18:26And here he goes.
18:304, ease my trip 4 right?
18:31Great shot, absolutely great shot.
18:33You could just see he was just slightly over pitched and he extended his arms over extra cover.
18:42Very very well bowled but he'll still catch a boundary, it was a good delivery.
18:46Good end of the over, 18 off it, it's 145 for 5.
18:53Where did that go, where did that go, that's gone for 4.
18:56Good start of the over.
19:02Yeah, I think this has gone over extra into that big gap.
19:08Brilliant.
19:10This angle will give us a better picture, there.
19:12Yeah, it did touch the rope before, just did that somersault.
19:17Yep.
19:22Straight down, that will be back to back boundaries.
19:25A little bit too little too late for India.
19:30Edge, 4 more.
19:33Pakistan already in the semi-final so just keep an eye on the run rate and see how it goes and what happens.
19:41Further in the tournament.
19:47Caught.
19:49Colton Nile is the man and deep.
19:51He's taken Yusuf's catch and hit it straight into his hands.
20:02Yeah, they fielded well up in the Australia and that catch was taken quite comfortably.
20:07Good innings though from Yusuf Pathan.
20:10Last ball then.
20:11Abhijan Singh hits straight towards extra cover.
20:15The first bit of poor fielding we've seen from Australia and this will go through to end it with a boundary.
20:22But a win for Australia and into the semi-finals as well they go.
20:28Australia win by 23 runs.
20:30A happy Brett Lee, captain of Australia.
20:34They bowled well, they batted well, they fielded well.
20:38And deserve their position in the semi-finals.
20:41So India champions were set 100 and 200 to win.
20:45Didn't get off to the best of starts.
20:48Irfan Pathan who was elevated up to open with Robin Uttapa went early, so did Raina and Yuvraj Singh.
20:57And it was down to Yusuf Pathan with his 78 from 48 and Rayudu with 26 from 17.
21:04When Australia came on to ball they were just right on the money.
21:07They might look little expensive but they bowled in the right area.
21:12This was a very, very good pitch.
21:14Two wickets for Sidhu, two for Kultanal.
21:16I thought he was wonderful wicket for Loughlin and wicket for Christian.
21:23And the match summary.
21:24It was a big target 199.
21:28India needed 200 to win this game.
21:31Couldn't manage it.
21:32They only managed 166, 176.
21:35They lost six wickets.
21:37And the Australia champions winning this game by 23.
