I still remember in one of the promos or interviews sunil gavaskar (with an unimpressed demeanor)saying india has two players who could play at this level in ODI's tendulkar and ganguly. Those are things you never forget.

That was so disastrous that I stopped watching cricket until ICC knockout trophy when new group of players emerged like Zak and Yuvraj. Gagnuly was responsible for helping the team rise from the ashes. I didn't watch the Asia cup and the Sharjah cup in 2000 where we were bowled out for 50 odd against SL. We even struggled against ZIM and Andy Flower those days. We narrowly won the ODI series 3-2 with Yuvi playing great innings back to back after we were 1-2 down to them. Those were the times.

You guys thought the test series was a disaster??. haha. What happened in the ODI series that followed this was stuff of nightmares that needs therapy :lol: :sad:. Blanked 1-7 in 8 games against world champions australia and arch rivals pakistan was utter humiliation.

In that series, I remember MSK opening against the great Mcgrath and Fleming. Lambs to the slaughter :laugh:

It was early Sachin before his elbow injury who had that shot.that is very hard shot to play on the back foot and you are better off playing cut shot. I don't think other than Sachin I have seen any other play that shot.

 

Most sub continent players don't have backfoot game thru offside.

Nope. I have seen him play that many times post tennis-elbow injury. The ones that come to my mind right away were during the NZ tour in 2009.

Sachin's backfoot punch thru extra cover was special becuase he played that shot on a bouncy Perth wicket in 1992.Playing the same shot on a pitch which has low bounce wicket is not that great many players do it. 2009 shot you are talking is played by many players.

About the umpiring in Australia, Tendulkar got this shocker from Bucknor lol Right at the start of the video.

He always got shockers from *nor, that guy likely had a beef with him for some reason just as the Aussie Harper (or Hair?) :whack2:

They are all biased. Until they got Simon Taufel Aussie umpires were the worst.

Remember this match very well. There was hype around him even before his debut that an Akhtar like fast bowler is debuting for Australia. It was a brilliant debut for him but tbh our team was absolutely garbage. It was all about Tendulkar and bit contribution from Ganguly/Dravid, rest were aweful cricketers.
