The Sensitive Man Wearing a Cricketer's Uniform and a Celery Stalk on his Lapel

Using the TARDIS's Time Vector Generator, I was able to tune in to the broadcast of the 2009 Twenty20 World Cup final from Lord's. But it came through all scrambled, making it very hard to visualize (and eventually I lost the signal completely). The commentators up there in the Media Centre at least try to give you a good idea of how these players just hit it to all parts...

  1. Patel to MEK Hussey, (no ball) one run, Patel looking a little flustered, Hussey drives it down to long on, free hit coming up but not for Hussey
  2. Harmison to MEK Hussey, OUT, got 'im! Slower ball does the trick, way way up in the air and long off makes the catch at the rope
  3. Anderson to Marsh, one run, short ball, tries for the hook but gets a top edge over the slips and third man collects
  4. Harmison to Marsh, one run, strays down leg, clipped behind square and fielded just inside the circle
  5. Flintoff to MEK Hussey, one run, driven down to long off
  6. Patel to MEK Hussey, one run, this time just laps it around the corner square for one
  7. Flintoff to Watson, SIX, gives him the charge and slogged over cow corner
  8. Patel to Symonds, one run, plenty of men out in the deep for the spinner and Symonds finds the one at fine leg
  9. Flintoff to Watson, one run, off the mark in less than convincing fashion as he defends toward midwicket and they steal a single
  10. Anderson to MEK Hussey, no run, and a bouncer climbs on him and the attempted pull makes no contact
  11. Anderson to MEK Hussey, no run, short one on the body and he fends it down in front on him on the on side
  12. Flintoff to Ponting, no run, more good bowling, Broad fields
  13. Harmison to MEK Hussey, one run, down to long on
  14. Anderson to Haddin, OUT, goes for a big hit over cow corner but gets under it and caught by Broad on the boundary, good innings from him though
  15. Anderson to Haddin, no run, driven but great stop by Anderson in his follow-through
  16. Anderson to Marsh, one run, delicate late cut down to third man
  17. Flintoff to Ponting, FOUR, premeditated shot but a good one, over the inner ring and wide of long on
  18. Anderson to MEK Hussey, no run, getting antsy, takes a step down the wicket and yorks himself, just manages to keep the ball at his feet

  71. Patel to MEK Hussey, two runs, sweep shot goes aerial but drops in and trickles down to fine leg for two
