The Jamshedpur jinx continues. India loses yet another at this ground which already has very bitter memories in the past. India had lost all the matches except 2 ( one of which was a draw against England). Dhoni’s Heroics didnt work as he compiled a 96 with Ramesh Pawar scoring a good solid 54.
India paid the price for some reckless batting as England halted the winning streak of the hosts with a pride-restoring five-wicket win in the sixth cricket One-dayer in Jamshedpur on Wednesday.After restricting India to 223 in 48 overs on a good batting track, England cruised to the target in 42.4 overs to reduce the margin of defeat in the seven-match series to 4-1 with one more game to go.The defeat, which brought to an end India’s golden run of eight wins on the trot, also meant the home team was unable to break the jinx of losing matches at this venue. India have now lost eight of the nine matches played at the Keenan Stadium.
The most interesting point of the match was Harbajan Singh. Bajji was beaten in flight, he looked back, he saw the bails disturbed and the keeper up in appeal. How was he to know whether the ball had turned in to hit the stumps, or the keeper had taken the bails off and was appealing for the stumping?He held his ground — and interesting, neither the straight umpire nor the square leg umpire felt sure enough to give the decision; it was referred to the third umpire. But Ian Botham kept murmuring about it all the while.
