Nikola Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Smacked steyn like club level bowler in this innings. Link to comment
Stan AF Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 (edited) Absolutely. Loved how he deposits Steyn for a 6 over his head. Saffer bowlers had no answer for him. Idiotic ECB dropped him for the next test i guess and they promptly went on to lose the series 2-0. This series also had the Amla Triple ton. Graeme Smith should be given the Sir Title by the British for disposing 3 captains in 3 consecutive test series in England. Edited June 27, 2020 by Stan AF Nikola and Gollum 1 1 Link to comment
Laaloo Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Damn the way he treated steyn great innings Link to comment
Jimmy Cliff Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Steyn fearing for his life @ 7:38 . This knock as well as Michael Clarke's 151 in 2011 were the best innings against this attack. Gollum 1 Link to comment

Gollum Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 KP started off as an offie and lower order bat Smith started off as a leggie Ashwin was an opening bat Earlier we had Sobers who was a #11, Sachin enrolled in MRF to be a quick....funny sport. Link to comment

Straight Drive Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 (edited) Think this wasn't his best innings. The one he and Flintoff played in a session against Aussies in Ashes 2005 was brilliant. That session just demoralized the Aussie bowlers. The best test innings by KP IMO was the one he played in Mumbai test on the turning wicket. Also reminds of Rahane tonking Steyn in WC match.

He made a point to ECB for dropping him with his knocks in Mumbai and Kolkatta. W/O him it was a 1-1 at best. Umesh getting injured after the 1st test also didn't help us. Pragyan Ojha was never a test level bowler. The idiots at BCCI should have scheduled a test match in Sennai instead of Mumbai. 3 months later Dhoni hit a 200+ there. Gollum 1 Link to comment

It was Ashwin who was a let down averaging 50+. Our blunders were going for a rank turner in Mumbai when we easily beat them on a traditional sub-continent wicket in the 1st Test and going for a dead pitch in Nagpur in the last Test .

Stan AF Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Oh yeah Ashwin let us down big time. No arguments there. Our weak batting also put huge pressure on the bowlers. They were dropping like 9 pins in front of Swann and PPPPP pppp aanesar. One of the most sorrowful sights of my cricket watching life is seeing tendulkar getting out to panesar of all people. He should have retired before that series. Jimmy Cliff and Gollum 1 1 Link to comment

I thought this knock was bit underrated and they way he smacked steyn it deserved to be in one of the top knocks in last decade. Link to comment
