Cricket Match

Monu: What are you doing Tony?
Tony: I am praying to God to help India win the match.
Monu: Don't worry. India is definitely going to win this match.

Monu: Both these batsman are just trying to settle down with singles. Soon they will start hitting fours.
Tony: If India loses this match to Pakistan it will be a disgrace for the country. I am very tensed.

Tony: If India wins I shall give you a party.
Monu: Pakistan has made only 275 in 50 overs. India will be able to chase the target.
Tony: It is surprising Sachin and Saurav Ganguly didn't make runs today.

Tony: Laxman and Sehwag gave us a good start. But now India has lost 5 wickets. They still have to make 100 runs.
Monu: See Dravid hits a four. Both these batsmen are gaining confidence. They will definitely have a good partnership.
Tony: Then India may win. But we can't say anything surely in cricket. Anything can happen.
