Kapil's 175 Reboot/ver.2/sequel ?

[nevada]

Without Kapil's innings, India would be facing elimination from the WC.  Maxie was under no such pressure.

Kapil dev scored 100s in test cricket before that and after also so he had experience  of scoring 100s in some format.

 

Don't compare him with Maxwell. Maxwell has ability which Pandya can not even dream.

 

There is a reason why he has never even came close to 100 again in any format after his test 100. Maxwell has 3 t20 100 and has scored 100s in all formats.

 

SKY is legitmate batsman, Pandya is nothing but bits and piece player.

 

If Pandya was allowed to bat 5 times also he was not scoring 200 on that day.

Since you are the one who brings up stats, why is it that mad max and pandu have nearly same avg before this knock? and pandu's SR is only about 10 pts less than mad max prior to this knock.

 

I am not a fan of pandu's attitude, but making it seem as though Maxi is far ahead of Pandu is disingenuous. the best MO batters are klaasen and buttler, because both marry consistency with high SR. Max is too hit-or-miss; an upgraded version of Shahid "ball biter" afridi

 

P.S. Maxi's innings was greater than that of kapil and viv. credit where credit is due

No it would not have been elimniated. India still had to beat Australia to get into semifinals.

This is best world cup innings.People are trying to this discredit innings with drop catches.To me that is just not able to accept the greatness of this innings.I am Kapil's biggest fan but his innings was close but this was better given the situation of the match and bowling attack.

 

Now regarding Pandya

 

Yes Maxi is ahead of Pandya in all aspects of batting except Pandu has become more reliable with bat.

 

Maxwell on his day can win match with his bat alone like his two 100s in this world cup. Pandya even in his dream does not have that ability. I am not trying to make Pandya look bad but not many batsman have Maxwell's ability.No one in Australian line up has that ability.

There was no run in it .

 

There was. SKY ran 1.5 runs before getting out.

It was 60 over game. Glenn turner scored 173 in 1975.

 

They  had one bowler Kevin Curran. Zimbabwe we’re completely novice team. Afghanistan are test playing team. 
There is no World Cup knock which is better than this in Odis.

 

It was painful to watch but this is  better.

 

Turner batted all 60 overs and it was a poorer attack.

 

Kapil came in 10th over IIRC and still scored 175. Zim had decent pacers for those conditions.

 

And there were no lives IIRC via drop catches.

if it was such an easy run he would have got back.

 

 

risky runs have small margins for error and fault lies with the one making such calls

Zimbabwe were playing their 3 or 4th match.Kapil was batting first. Chasing always adds more pressure.I don't want this discussion to turn into making Kapil's innings look bad.

 

If you feel Kapil's innings was better that is fine with me.

No he couldn't because he was too far down.

 

It wasn't a risky single.Kohli had no business watching the ball and ignoring the call.

[Chaos]

No i rate kapils wayyy above in any context. That was in 1983… only viv had guts to do that then, it fueled indians ro be a threat in world cup and gave up as a nation big self belief we have a good fortune in coming years. Without that man, who knows how our team would be like now. And he is soo down to earth and barely hear him talk. 
 

also his primary role was bowling… so in that itself it was a greatest odi innings

hits straight to the fielder and runs, throws to the wrong end and still gets him lol

I think the best answer is to ask neutral fans and you will get the answer.

 

Zimbabwe team of the past was on par with SA team of today. Not some minnow team either.

 

So Kapil's innings definitely had its aura.

 

I think Maxwell is a different beast. You expect such an innings from him, AbDV and similar players

he is not like abd ,more like Livingston or fakhar

[Tillu]

Leave alone the best ever, this is not even the best century of the tournament so far. To me Daryll Mitchell's century against us is the best century till now. It came against our full strength attack on a fairly decent pitch for the Pacers before we started bowling out teams for sub 100 scores.

Straight to fielder? Don't you see Santner diving

 

It was his call and if Kohli responded it was an easy run. He had to turn back from too far hence got run out.

kohli started running too and left him stranded. Had he ran easy single

little dive because of which he couldnt throw at right end

Exactly.

what throw? He didnt even look at the bowler and luckily back handed it to bowler who then back handed to keeper. Had kohli ran… he could havd finished. Cup of tea also lmao

So depend on that luck of draw to complete that single with our tail and only jaddu to come,

 

 

once you see it's that close to a fielder you dont run.
