M Sheikh 1* (1b) MA Suji 0* (1b)
MSK Prasad has 4 victims in this game so far
Prasad comes back, to thwart Bhardwaj's attempts at a 5fer
presumably
44.1 BKV Prasad to Sheikh, no run, slower one, slips out of the ball,
goes down leg, probably goes above the waist and yet the umpire
stays unmoved
44.2 BKV Prasad to Sheikh, legbye: one run, even more slower one, goes
off pad to sqleg
44.3 BKV Prasad to MA Suji, one run, slow, slower and what now ?
slowest, catches the edge to go past point, rolls to third man
44.4 BKV Prasad to Sheikh, no run, that was 3 times faster than the
previous 2 deliveries, at least, fired in to the offstump, misses
the square drive
44.5 BKV Prasad to Sheikh, no run, fulltoss pulled straight to midwicket
44.6 BKV Prasad to Sheikh, OUT: slashed straight to MSK who does a
Herschelle as he tries to throw away the ball even before he has
it in control and it drops down, the 2 umpires confer and give
SHeikh out, a strange decision though, would have been a very
dodgy one
Kenya 140/9, Partnership of 2

Kenya get all out, MSK doesnt get 6 victims
Match State: India win by 58 runs
India in with the best chance of getting into the finals, their NRR
is definitely higher than RSA or ZIM
India started off disastrously but Bhardwaj did very well, Ramesh's
50 was handy even if it was slow
The Kenyan innings never did take off after that 1st ball dismissal
THe Man of the match and other ceremonies come up
Odumbe comes up
We're disappointed after the way we bowled initially
we didnt bowl tightly in the slog overs
We contained the batsmen very well early on
We can definitely improve, a
A tough one coming up against RSA
Jadeja comes up to get the winners cheque
Very good performance, we got stuck early on, Ramesh did very well
to hang around there
When me and Bhardwaj came in, the wicket had dried up
Bhardwaj is a great prospect, he has shown that he has the ability
to do well at the tpo level
We've to play well, we've been in the habit of losing things after
doing well initialy
THe Man of the match from the 5 commentators
The one who made 41(30) and took3 wickets
Vijay Bahrdwaj
1000 US$ in only ihs 2nd ODI game
I feel very happy for doing well for the country
It was one of those days when everyhing went my way, I had my luck
220 was a good total on this wicket
I've always bowled well particularly in ODIs, too many good bowlers
in my state side so I rarely get to bowl
The wicket is a good oe for ODIs
Thats it from us at CricInfo, join us tomorrow for Kenya v South
Africa at 0630 GMT"
