Thats it!!It's all over!! That was short of a length on middle, bowled from round the wicket. The ball kept low and Parmar failed to get the bat down in time to be out lbw, plumb in front of the middle stump. With that, India Blue also collect the bonus point
India Blue vs India Red, at Cuttack, Oct 23 2008 - Ball by Ball Commentary
India Blue seal a comprehensive 49-run win in Cuttack. One could say that India Red surrendered meekly after Vijay's dismissal. Only three of their batsmen managed to get to double-figures and the top-order, in particular, failed to provide adequate support to Vijay who seemed to be the only player who threatened to take the game away from Inda Blue.
235 runs proved to be more than a handful for the winners as the pitch offered enough assistance to both pace and spin for their bowlers to make frequent inroads into the India Red batting line-up.
That's all we have here from this match. Join us tomorrow for the second game of the NKP Salve Challenger Series when India Green take on India Red at the same venue.
It's Siddhartha Talya signing off from the commentary, and Sanjay Murari from the scoring duties. Until tomorrow, goodbye!
