Watch India v South Africa 1st ODI Cricket Highlights Online, 2010
JAIPUR: India overcame the absence of four top stars to beat South Africa by one run in a thrilling One-Day International on Sunday and take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.
Wayne Parnell was run out off the final delivery, attempting a second run that would have tied the match, to leave the Proteas on 297 all out in reply to India’s 298/9.
The tourists were tottering at 225/8 in the 43rd over when the ninth-wicket pair of Parnell and Dale Steyn swung the day-night match around by adding 65 off 38 balls.
South Africa, needing 26 off the final 12 deliveries, smashed 16 runs in the penultimate over of Ashish Nehra that included a six each by Parnell and Steyn.
With nine runs required from five deliveries, seamer Praveen Kumar bowled Steyn and conceded just seven more off the next four to hand India a thrilling win.
Parnell hit a defiant 49 off 47 balls and Steyn plundered an 18-ball 35, but the pair failed to take the tourists across the line at the Sawai Man Singh stadium in Jaipur.
Earlier, Suresh Raina top-scored with 58 off 63 balls and Virender Sehwag hammered a typically aggressive 46 off 37 balls as the hosts piled up 298/9 after being sent in to bat.

2. Surely, Ponting must be the Zidane of fielding
3. If Yousuf has been sacked in advance does that mean a return to test cricket for Afridi.

India (IND) vs South Africa (SA) Day 1 2nd Test Highlights | Kolkata
Watch cricket highlights: South Africa vs India Day 1 of the 2nd Test at Kolkata played on February 14, 2010
Scoreline: SA 266/9: Alviro Petersen 100, Hashim Amla 114 | Zaheer Khan and Harbhajan Singh 3 each
Alviro Petersen who was a mix of watchability and judiciousness during the ODI series vs England came in place of Boucher today who’d had some back issues during the 1st test. If this was the first time you watched Petersen and would like more of him, have a look here, here and here. Justified calls on air to pencil Amla’s name into the ODI squad
Just going through the papers overs the last few days, looks like the all-round criticism of Harbhajan after the 1st test finally seems to have made sense to him – while it’s too early to call this even a half-recovery, at least it’s a start.
Good decision by the potent selectorial management to retain Ishanth – dropping him now would most certainly send him the Irfan Pathan way. His final spell today was the perfect example of keeping one end tight and if he eventually does recover, he’d be the perfect support bowler to Zaheer with Sreesanth as the third pacer.
Those who watched the 2001 Ind-Aus test series will recall the numerous times the post-tea session turned hostile for the Aussies and this curious phenomenon pretty much began at Kolkata. All in all, a super test ahead with Steyn sure to be bang on from the outset tomorrow.
India v Sri Lanka Final Match Highlights, Tri-Nation Series
Watch cricket highlights: India vs Sri Lanka – the Final of the Tri-Nation Series played on January 13, 2010.
Scoreline: India 245 all out Suresh Raina 106 (115), Sehwag 42 (27), Jadeja 38 (64) | Kulasekara 4, Welegedara 3
SL win in the 49th: Mahela 71 no (81), Sangakkara 55 (51), Dilshan 49 (54) | Spinners + Zaheer
For a while now, Raina has seen others walk past him in the batting order while he lay low – finally, a hark-back to the days when he forged super partnerships with Dravid and others.
For a team that predominantly banks on its batting, India did quite well to remain in the game until the penultimate over. That is, with the overriding assumption that Mahela would get injured/run-out by his partner somewhere during the final 12 deliveries. Not to be as the man who bats in the middle-order only because his team needs him to and pulls out boundaries almost at will, sensing such a possibility having watched Perrera the previous over, decided to finish things in 3 hits.
As the Indian cricket team lies scarred on the field of yet another triangular final, let’s not forget to put on the blindfolds, heroically raise that fist and with a final gasp whisper, “Eeeastt or wesstt….. Dhoni’s boys are the…….”
India vs Bangladesh 6th ODI Highlights | Tri-Nation Series
Watch cricket highlights: India vs Bangladesh, the 6th ODI (final match of the) Tri-Nation Series played on January 11, 2010.
Bangladesh 247/6 Shakib Al Hasan 85 (97), Mahmudullah 64 (80) | Yuvraj 10-33-1
India win in 43 Virat Kohli 102 (95), Gambhir 41 (46) | Naeem Islam 8-35-2
The impotent selection committee have had a few on the house, so we shall set them loose:
It’s a good thing that hierarchies exist in the Indian team. Someone like Virat Kohli needs that. It’s similar to when Yuvraj Singh first came into the team. There was Tendulkar (because he worshiped him) and Ganguly (because he knew how to encourage young talent and still draw the line) and so he mentally remained junior for a while. While all are allegedly born equal, some type of people (and players) early on need to be made to believe that some are indeed more equal than others. Things work out better for them this way.
The Kohli run has several fallouts – for one, it means that when India do field a full strength side in the future with Sachin-Sewhag at the top, Rohit Sharma-Dinesh-Yusuf-Uthappa (in that order) move further into the fringes. Which is not necessarily a bad thing when you’re thinking in terms of squad strength being enhanced. Secondly, Jadeja will become irrelevant with more onus on Yuvraj, Raina and Kohli himself to fill up overs. Also it would be nice if less of the Dhoni-boys (Tyagi/Jadeja) were picked and more of the match-winners (Ishanth, Praveen Kumar) in future squads.
As for Bangladesh, a disappointing tournament with no wins recorded. One thing that stands out keeping in mind their recent success is that when they get on a roll (both with the bat or in the field), they seem to rely on the opposition panicking. SL and India are far too experienced and better (on the average day) to do that. So when Bangladesh are faced with calmness/discipline just when the momentum’s going their way, they seem to hurtle into a mental brick-wall and appear listless/clueless. Most of the better teams win matches because they’re able to feed on any existing momentum going their way or because they have stand-out players who can pull out a spectacular performance. With the number of Bangladesh players who fall into the latter category a couple or so, unless they can find a way to keep the forces swinging their way, they’ll continue to drop out of tournaments and increase the yells for other countries to be given their opportunities.
