Prabhdeep Singh Posted April 4, 2020 Posted April 4, 2020 Favourite Test Match Innings: Virender Sehwag 309 vs Pak (2004) in Multan Loved the overhyped Pakistani fast bowlers getting destroyed. It is also the infamous Tendulkar 194* declaration by Dravid, definitely should have allowed him to get 6 more runs.

It was not their best attack by any means, Akhtar looked bored, Shabbir Ahmed and Umar Gul were good bowlers but not great.
MechEng Posted April 4, 2020 Author Posted April 4, 2020 Wow!!! I thought goras didn't have the sinewy wrists of Hyderabadis, but I have been proved wrong!
MechEng Posted April 4, 2020 Author Posted April 4, 2020 ^ That six off Carl Hooper is possibly among the most effortless sixes in game.

How the hell did he miss yet another easy 200 Bullying bole toh everything pales in comparison to that tennis shot for six off Kulasekara in that once in a lifetime 264.

Anything that comes from the middle of the bat cant n shudnt be called fluke. If he gets runs by edges well call it fluke . Also if it happens again n again definately not a fluke. He never gets to the pitch of the ball ...doesnt matter ....what matters is he knew how to make runs by his way.

True in a way, Graeme Pollock had no footwork, yet he is highly respected even among cricket purists.
MechEng Posted April 4, 2020 Author Posted April 4, 2020 I don't care if you averaged 200 or scored 50,000 test runs or averaged 12, while I do admire wristy shots nothing comes close to a simple compact back foot punch racing away for four: Param Mastishk Pheeka 1

zen Posted April 5, 2020 Posted April 5, 2020 Like Sehwag and VVS, Lara also has quite a few memorable innings .... one example is his 100 of 80 odd balls vs. Aus: Ankit_sharma03 1
Ankit_sharma03 Posted April 5, 2020 Posted April 5, 2020 at that time it hurted but now its fun to watch
Ankit_sharma03 Posted April 5, 2020 Posted April 5, 2020 Can watch KL bat all day long WeStMiDz and Rasgulla 2
