Favorite cricket moments

India beating Pakistan in the 2004 series
India beating pakistan in the world cup
India going in to the finals against aussies
When aussies lost agianst india on the last test matchc
Kumble took 10 wickets
Sachin past Gavaskar in runs
Kumble took more wickets in a test match than karpil dev
When west indies won the match against england the site was beautiful(not da i have anything against english)
When india beat South africa
sir lanka beat south africa in the odi and test series:)
I loved the Aussies v.s India series in 2004 that was the best too good teams fighting to win and the weaker team obbesely lost (india)

Kumble took 10 wickets, this is my favorite, shoed that india had bowlers too!
The stats will gloss over this in time, but personally for me it will always be tainted by the fact that at least a couple (by memory - more maybe) of the Pakistan batters were given out in that innings because of bad umpiring. (Notice I am NOT saying cheating, just incompetence.) So seeing people gushing over that 10-for was kinda sad. Still Kumble deserves a pat on the back, but not effusive praise. He had some help.

Here are my favorite cricket moments:

1. Dravid having that famous face off with Donald. Normally Dravid - who is a cool customer got so angry that day that he tore into Donald in that match.

2. India's win over Australia in that test series in 2001 and at Adelaide, 2003

3. Sachin's two brilliant centuries in the Coca Cola Cup Sharjah against Australia

4. As sachinisgod said, Ganguly'e emotional and revengeful (Andrew Flintoff!) act at Lords and the scenes that followed!

5. All World Cup encounters between India and Pakistan!

6. The Titan Cup 1996 semifinal and final!

7. Karachi's one dayer where Kaif took that astonishing catch! It made many Indians believe that India would win. Till then, Ul Haq was single handedly taking it all away!

Yes I probably should have included that in my list, but I guess it wasnt that high on my radar. Just because it is the highest ever ODI score doesnt mean is the best or most memorable innings. If I remember correctly he was dropped a couple of times and half the innings batted with a runner.

But I do remember one other instant.... India vs Pakistan 1982-83... Imran Khan in the middle of one of the best spells of fast bowling of his life... the Karachi crowd screaming hoarse and all standing... he had just bowled Gavaskar and was steaming in... he bowled a widish delivery to Vishwanath which on any other day would have harmlessly gone thru to the keeper and Vishy shouldered arms, bat high in the air, and literally watched the ball curve in from wayyy outside to offstump to swing brutishly and crash into his wickets. He had to stand there a couple of seconds to figure out what had happened. One ball which I will remember for a LONG time! Imran ended up taking Amarnath, Sandeep Patil and Kapil Dev also (5 wickets in maybe 7-8 overs) in that one spell before he stopped. Anyone else know what I am talking about? Or am I the oldest person around? :D

Fardin? Any response? Anyone else remember a match where Youhana hit a last ball six to win for Pakistan? Are you sure you didnt mean Miandad, Fardin? The only other match with similar circumstances I remember was when Asif Mujtuba hit Steve Waugh for a last ball six to TIE a match for pakistan in one of the World series triangular matches several years ago.

The match againts india in sharjah rememeber?
 
are we talking only about international cricket? because i saw the word fight and a last week, a team that i have been filling in for to help out got in a fight. one of our bats was dismissed then i think he got sworn at. he took of his gloves at which a 22 man baseball like pitch invasion occurred. one guy from the other team came at my mate and said lets go, at which point my mate uprooted the stump from the ground and replied with a number of obsenities. needless to say the opposing player ran in the opposite direction. i wasnt required for this game but it is good to see that gentlemanly conduct remains strong in the game of pub cricket
 
easy guys.

shahid I think youhana hit that 6 in bangladesh (v India) and I guess it was in 1st innings of the match.

hmmm... well for one thing Shailesh, fardin was talking about a match where Youhana hit a six off the last ball of the match to win the match for pakistan... that sounds to me like he is talking about a ODI, so how can it be the first innings???
If I had a little more information I could try searching for the game on Cricinfo, but right now I have nothing to go on.
And we are taking it easy lol.
