How important was that dropped catch off Pietersen?
#How important was that dropped catch by Raina?
From Cricinfo (I happened to watch it live while I was on a conference call!):
20.1 Powar to Pietersen, 2 runs, dropped! Pietersen comes down the track looking to clear the midwicket fence but the shot is not timed well enough and the ball flies down to deep midwicket, Raina moves across quick in the deep and drives across well but fails to hold to a fairly hard chance, that’s a costly miss!
On a slow, turning pitch where runs were tough, Pietersen went on to score 71 out of 225. I just have a sneaky feeling that is a match-winning knock.
Though I would not be surprised if India blast off at the top of the innings (Sehwag saves his spot once again by scoring just when it matters) and makes it home comfortably.
Let’s see.
