Greatest Cricketing moments Ever..

1. Windies vs England-1984.

The Day Started Like any other normal cricketing day for the west indian viv richards but little did he know that the day would go down in the history of cricket as a witness to one of the most brutalising, Demoralising ( For the opponent ).Attacking and splendid display of fireworks From the piece of wood in his hand. West indies Considered the most Dangerous Cricket team, Were at their Peak in 80's. The Bowling Attack boasting the like's of Garner, roberts, holding, Marshal have given many a batsmen Nightmares in Broad Day Light. But, That Day Thing's Seemed to Be going Out of their hand's as the Mighty Windies Batting Was Humbled By The English Team and the Carribeans were Limping At 102 for 7. But the Demon " Master Blaster " Was Still At The Crease Chewing a Wad Of Gum. Roberts Joined him at the Crease After Botham Dispatched King to the Pavillion With a Fire Ball Of a Delivery. And What Followed is a Blitzkrieg, The World of cricket has Witnessed for the Very First Time. Viv Ended his Innings Unbeaten At 189 With 28 Boundaries, 4 of them Flying Over The Rope. The 189 Remained The Highest individual Score In a Limited Over International Until Saeed Anwar Got Past it.



2. India Vs Windies.

Sunil " Sunny " Gavaskar. The 5 Feet 4 Inch Little Superstar Has played Many Memorable Innings Worthy Of a Mention. It Took Me Better Part an hour to Finalise on This Particulat Gem Of an innings . India Were Three Down For a Nought and Sunny Who Normally Opens the Innings For India Came At Number 4 For Some Reasons Which Only Those People In the Dressing Room Would be able to tell. On his Way To the Crease He was Sledged By Richard's Which Later Sunny Light Heartedly Revealed in his Autobiography " No Matter When You Come Out To Bat The Score Card would Still Read Zero". Sunny To the Surprise of All Those Watching the Match Remained Silent ( Critics Beleive Sunny To be the Most Agressive Indian Cricketer ever). Sunny Went on To Score 246 Against an Attack Still Considered The Greatest To Have Ever Prevailed in the History Of Cricket. The Critics Were not Mistaken At the Close of The Play sunny Went Upto Viv " There Must Have Been a Mistake Viv The Score Card's Not Reading Zero Anymore ".


3. India vs Zimbabwe.


india were 5 down and the score card read 17. the radios were switched off and the people carried on with their work cursing all five now, sitting pretty in the dressing room. and then came the captain who went on to play this innings which later on gave birth to the term "captains knock".


the captain i am talking about is kapil dev and the blitzkreig took place during the quarterfanal against zimbawbe in the 1983 prudential world cup.

the innings included a tally of 11 sixes and 14 fours and kapil alone scored 175 in indias score of 238. india won the game and eventually went on to win the world cup.


unfortunately this spectacle was not caught on camera. the british broadcasting company in short bbc played the spoil sport and the reason being a salary hike strike by its employees.


and, the lucky indian supporters present their watching the match live are still unable to forget the innings which produced goosebumps and sent down a chill down their spine.

"that 175 has to be the greatest innings in the worldcup" later, wrote gavaskar in his autobiography and quiet evidently it was included and placed at no.4 in the compilation of wisdens top 10 cricketing performances of all time.

on the whole post league stage it was all kapils show "the 175 got us into the semi finals and that catch(richards) got us the final".

this has got to be the greatest innings ever played.......



4. Australia Vs England.


Wunderkids Are Born only Once in a while. 1989 Has Seen The Birth Of Sachin ( Though It was 1990, When he Actually Proved He Was a Wunderkid). 1993 Saw The Birth Of an Other Wunderkid But This Time It Was Of an Australian Orgin And Called It Self " Shane Warne ".

It Was in The Ashes That Warne Has Unraveled His Spin Wizardy. The First Two Tests Were Rater Forgettable Which didn't Showcase Or Portray a Genius in making. But, The Third Test Has Sent Out a Message to the World " Wunderkid Has Finally Arrived ". Warne " Warned" The World Of his Arrival With a Wunderball, Pitched Out side the off stump The Ball Sneaked in Between Gatting's Bat And Pad Before Crashing into the Wickets. Gatting After Checking With the Umpire Twice Left The Crease With a Bewildered Expression On his Face.
