Andrew Hall - Latest News Update, Information, Photos & Videos on Andrew Hall at Lokmat Times

South Africa were the opponents that benefited from the off day India had at the time and unlike Wednesday, when both the Australian openers scored a century, it was one batsman who did most of the heavy lifting.It was the fourth of the five-match series which was level at 1-1 and took place at the iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata. India had won the previous match by a healthy margin with the bowlers led by Irfan Pathan and Harbhajan Singh restricting South Africa to 169/9 and Virender Sehwag later leading them to a six-wicket win.In Kolkata, South Africa returned the favour Shaun Pollock and Andrew Hall led the effort with three wickets each as India were all out for a paltry 188, most of which came from a 88-run stand for the sixth wicket between Yuvraj Singh and Mohammad Kaif.Proteas skipper Graeme Smith and Andrew Hall opened the batting for South Africa and immediately went about destroying any faint hope India may have had. Smith was especially destructive and ended up scoring 134 off 124 balls while Hall ended his innings two runs short of a fifty. Smith's innings consisted of just one six but he also smashed a whopping 20 fours.The result came during the contentious reign of Greg Chappell as India's head coach and he had reportedly made an obscene gesture towards the crowd before the match, which the Australian denied vehemently according to ESPNCricinfo.( With inputs from IANS )
