While scanning through the blogs of my friend, I found a lot tag posts relating to favourite movies, personal likings and other similar stuff. Unfortunately, there were no posts related to cricket.
So I decided to create one.
The first 6 cricketing moments that come to your mind !
As for me..
1. Vinod Kambli crying at the end of the '96 World Cup Semi-Final.
2. Shoaib Akhtar dismissing Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid of consecutive deliveries with toe crushing yorkers in the Asian Test championship.
3. Sachin Tendulkar cutting Shoaib over third man for 6 in the 2003 World Cup followed two balls later by a picture perfect straight drive.
4. Mark Waugh's century in the '96 World Cup quarter-final against New Zealand. It was as flawless and as elegant as it gets. Someone rightly pointed out after the innings - "If he had walked out in formals to bat, he would be the perfect ambassador for anti-crease apparels".
5. Sachin Tendulkar's rampaging assault on Glenn McGrath (he danced down the track and hit McGrath right over his head. In response McGrath tried to bounce him out. The ball was dispatched over the square leg boundary with absolute disdain) in his brief innings of 38 in the 2000 ICC Knockout Cup. (The match is better known for Yuvraj Singh's debut innings)
6. Sachin Tendulkar given out 'Shoulder Before the Wicket' by umpire Daryl Harper at Adelaide in 2000.
Because of the lack of enthusiasm for cricket in most of my friends, I tag only Punchar and Bidu for the time being.

a great tag finally but i want to take some time before taking it up.
ReplyDeletedude i never thought anyone would have remember the sachin's brilliant knock of 38...you rock!!
How could you miss the match held in Sharjah between India and Australia, where there was a sandstorm and Sachin single-handedly took India to the finals of the tournament.
ReplyDeleteIn retrospect I have missed out on a lot - most notably Desert Storm(as you rightly pointed out), Yuvraj's 6 sixes, Jadeja's Wagar bashing in the '96 WC QF and the India-Pak tied match at the inaugural T20. But it was about the first 6 moments that came to your mind and these were the ones which made the cut.
ReplyDeleteI tag you too. (I thought you were too much of a Schumi fan :D)
just one correction....that is 2003 wc. and the six was followed by a whip from the legs and then a straight drive, actually just a defensive push past waqar at mid on . :)

ReplyDeleteYup.. its 2003 ..India never achieved anything in 2007, leave aside Tendulkar himself.
