Dhoni in ODI #82

India vs England, NatWest Series 2007 - 5th ODI
Date: 02 Sep 2007

Catches : 5 / Stumpings : 1
Batting: 24 runs (17 balls), 4s: 3/ 6s: 0

For a change this time, Dravid lost the toss but won the match with some help from Duckworth/ Lewis. Given a chance to bat first, the Indian batsmen played good cricket to post a healthy 324 for the loss of six wickets.

Half-centuries from the top four batsmen, coupled with a century opening partnership by the veterans helped the Indian team. The hero of the last game Broad was chosen for punishment and he gave away 84 runs in his 10 overs.

England lost wickets at regular intervals, but skipper Collingwood did not lose hope. FInally, rain intervened and the Indians were declared the winners based on D/L method. When the match was called off, Collingwood was not out on 91 from just 71 deliveries.

Ganguly won the man of the match award for his all-round performance. Dhoni was excellent behind the wickets and he played a hand in the dismissal of the first five batsmen. He completed the good performance with a difficult catch to dismiss the 8th batsman. Dhoni became the first Indian wicketkeeper to record six dismissals in an ODI. He equalled the record held previously by Gilchrist, Boucher, Ridley Jacobs and Alec Stewart.

Yuvraj brought up his 30th ODI fifty, during which he surpassed the 5000 runs mark. He is only the sixth Indian batsman to do so.

Result: India 324/6 in 50 overs(Ganguly 59, Sachin 71, Gambhir 51, Yuvraj 72) beat England 242/8 in 39 overs(Collingwood 91 not out, Ganguly 2 for 26) by 38 runs (D/L method).

England leads the 7-match series 3-2

Dhoni in ODI #81

India vs England, NatWest Series 2007 - 4th ODI
Date: 30 Aug 2007

Catches : 0 / Stumpings : 0
Batting: 13 runs (18 balls), 4s: 1/ 6s: 0

Dravid won the toss again and lost the match yet again. This time, Dravid chose to bat first and posted only 212 runs. Only Sachin and Yuvraj had sizeable contributions to the total.

At one stage, it looked like 212 is more than enough for the Indians to secure a victory and square the series. But, a determined Broad and Bopara ensured victory by posting a 99-run unbroken 8th wicket partnership.

Result: India 212 (Sachin 55, Yuvraj 71, Broad 4 for 51, Anderson 3 for 38) lost to England 213/7 (Agarkar 4 for 60) by 3 wickets.

Dhoni in ODI #80

India vs England, NatWest Series 2007 - 3rd ODI
Date: 27 Aug 2007

Catches : 0 / Stumpings : 1
Batting: 13 runs (20 balls), 4s: 0/ 6s: 0

Dravid won the toss yet again and inserted England in to bat. Is that a right decision? The England openers amassed 76 runs in less than 14 overs. Ian Bell scored a half-century and helped England post a healthy 281 for the loss of 8 wickets.

The Indians started tentatively, putting on 35 runs in the first 10 overs losing Tendulkar to the last delivery of the 10th over. Karthik came and left without disturbing the scorers. Then a good 104 runs partnership between Ganguly and Dravid kept the Indian hopes alive for the next 20 overs. The dismissal of both these set batsmen in the space of 2 overs let India down. Yuvraj played a quickfire knock of 45 from just 39 deliveries. But, that was not enough.

Result: England 281/8 (Bell 79, RP Singh 3 for 55) beat India 239 (Ganguly 72, Dravid 56, Anderson 3 for 32) by 42 runs. England leads the 7-match series 2-1

Dhoni in ODI #79

India vs England, NatWest Series 2007 - 2nd ODI
Date: 24 Aug 2007

Catches : 1 / Stumpings : 0
Batting: 21 runs (18 balls), 4s: 3/ 6s: 0

A controlled half-century from Sachin, an aggressive half-century from Skipper Dravid and effective slow bowling from the spinners ensured that India is back in the series.

Sachin has missed another chance to add to his centuries tally. He was given out on 99, probably due to a poor umpiring decision. But, the Indian batsmen combined together to post a healthy 329 for 7. The century opening partnership set the things up for India. But, a good 49 from Yuvraj and Dravid's late flourish of 92 not out from just 63 deliveries gave India a good total.

But, England looked like clearing the total at one stage and fell just 9 runs short of the target. Piyush Chawla took 3 wickets. Munaf Patel too had 3 wickets, but very expensive. The last over from Munaf gave away 20 runs, while England required 30 runs.

Result: India 329/7 (Sachin 99, Dravid 92 not out, Flintoff 5 for 56) beat England 320/8 (Bell 64, Mascarenhas 52, Chawla 3 for 60, Munaf 3 for 70) by 9 runs. The 7-match series is level at 1-1
