00:00Well, the finger has gone up, Holland and Dire Straits at the moment, they've lost half
00:12their side, Kumble getting into the act.
00:17Very good ball from Kumble, actually got it to skid through, hit Wicket, between Wicket
00:22and Wicket, and I think it would have been an easy decision for umpire Peter Willey.
00:30Brought him into the shot, angled across him, and a simple dismissal there for Rahul
00:39Dravid, no great deviation from the bat, and Luke Vantrous goes, caught behind for one.
00:50So Kumble continuing, now that's close, the finger goes up again, there was never any
00:56doubt of that, because when the ball struck the pads, it was in line of the stumps, and
01:02one mustn't forget, Kumble is not a big spinner of the ball, this one just skidded through.
01:07This is a chance that you take when you use your pad as a first line of defence to a spinner
01:12like Ali Kumble, he keeps drawing you outside of stumps, and then gets one to pitch in line
01:19with the stumps, going straight on, hitting the batsman between Wicket and Wicket, and
01:24there was never any doubt in Peter Willey's mind.
01:26Holland struggling at the minute, at 44 for 6.
01:30That's gone as well, wonderful bowling, but as Bob Willis has indicated, yet another Hollander
01:40unable to spot that top spinner.
01:45Well it was dead straight, and the batsman misses, it's as simple as that, Kumble doesn't
01:51turn the ball an enormous amount, but he must have got hundreds of one day wickets
01:59in this fashion, limited players pushing forward, bat trapped in the pad, the Dutch skipper
02:09goes for 3, and now his side are 54 for 7.
02:14That might just happen after this over, quicker delivery, it's gone up in the air, there's
02:20a fielder getting under that one, it's a high one, but Dinesh Mongia is the man who
02:26takes the catch, and that's the style, he takes these high catches very close to the
02:31chest, copy book style of taking the high catches, Dinesh Mongia the fielder, so another
02:36wicket gone.
02:37It was a very good catch by Mongia, he didn't have to cover that much ground, but his position
02:41was very good, he was very calm under the ball, and it's another wicket for Anil Kumble,
02:47Chipotle attempting the same shot, but this time hitting up, getting a top edge, and
02:54really only succeeding in going high to Mongia, just in front of Squareleg on the boundary.
03:00Here we see him very cool, very calm, very collected, and as you said, straight out of
03:04the textbook.
03:05So another wicket gone, Chipotle gone for 13, the score 82 for 8.
