coffee_rules Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 I like to look at old scorecards of past series. I don't know who else does it. Just by looking at how much each famous player made and performed. WI v/s Aus 1975-76 WI v/a 1979-80 WI v/s India 1974-75 India v/s Aus 1986-87 India in Pak 2004 - Sehwag series WI v/s Aus 1992-93 (WI winning this test by 1 run - https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/16470/scorecard/63593/australia-vs-west-indies-4th-test-west-indies-tour-of-australia-1992-93) India-Aus 1996/98 and 01 - Best series in In India Eng v/s Aus 2005 - Best series ever. Period. SA and Aus serieses in 2000s - very competitive. Even the last one when Aus toured SA. Gollum, Jimmy Cliff and sandeep 2 1 Link to comment
Jimmy Cliff Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 India vs WI Test series in 1974/75 is one of the under-rated gems. Vishy's greatest hour no doubt. Gollum 1 Link to comment
Jimmy Cliff Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 This is the best bilateral ODI series for me. The quality of cricket was staggering to me as a kid after watching India go through an entire tour of RSA without beating them even once. https://www.cricbuzz.com/cricket-series/675/australia-in-south-africa-odi-series-1997/matches Stan AF 1 Link to comment

That's why I'm in awe of Steve Waugh till now. He and Bevan were rock solid middle order players. Steve would just back away and smash Donald for sixes over point. Ballsy basterd if there was ever one. Jimmy Cliff 1 Link to comment
coffee_rules Posted July 21, 2020 Author Share Posted July 21, 2020 Timeless Test scorecards are fun too.

Also Vinay Terror Kumar 9 overs 102 runs in the last ODI, where RSharma had scored 209! Link to comment
