5.1 Kasprowicz to Dravid, (noball) one run, carefully defended, slow to
teh covers, batsmen get a single
5.1 Kasprowicz to Tendulkar, wide: no run, wild delivery, Kaspa trying
to bowl too quick, way down the off side, possibly would have been
a Test wide
5.1 Kasprowicz to Tendulkar, FOUR, leans on the back foot, ever so
easily cracked behind point
doesn't he get bored of scoring runs against Australia

that's Mark Waugh
5.3 Kasprowicz to Tendulkar, no run, swats at it, bottom edge into the

poor bowling by Kaspa, the field is set for off side bowling

Zimbabwe's Campbell
whereby they bowl to a packed off side field, and try to bore him
out

thru teh covers

confused by someone somewhere for Sean Young
12.4 Kasprowicz to Dravid, no run, defence, Dravid back to normal

reacts to this commentary, driven straight and well, B Young
