Ram Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 This series was so special to all of us in so many ways, but each of us would have had our special moments. For me, it was the Gambhir six of Shane Watson to bring up in 100 in the third test ( at 2:35 of the video) obBs18z9BuI Of course, this isnt the first time batsman have bought up their century with a boundary, but just the audacity of that stroke, especially given the backdrop of the earlier confrontation he had with Watson..... Woah, t'was a series defining moment for me. I didnt see the 100 live, but while I watched the reply and saw that stroke, something in me told that this was an Indian team that had no fear, no misgivings, no reservations about taking on the world's best team, looking them in the eye and not backing down. With guys like Gambhir in the team, I am sure we're destined for great things in the future. :isalute: Link to comment
cochise Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Sharma's wicket of Ponting in Mohali when he bowled him...I can watch that delivery again and again...and again...wish I had a video of it.... Link to comment
Desi Cartman Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Ponting losing it during the 4th test day 4 session 3 . That was so satisfying to watch. He was so messed up. Also seeing Katich complain about Indian 8-1 field. All these showed that they lost it on and off the field. Mission Accomplished Link to comment
satishg Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Ishant dismissing Punter in the second innings of Mohali test..i mean that kinda delivery, thats abnormal..the perfect delivery ever..i got goosebumps just watching that live and i was so happy that we now have a top class bowler who can frighten all batting lineups anywhere..it mite sound eerie but that dismissal somehow brought back the memory of Alan Donald dismissing SRT in the 1996 series in SA..Sachins off stump went for a walk, Donald had almost produced the perfect inswinger to dismiss the master that time.. Ishant is our future :yay::icflove::two_thumbs_up: Link to comment
flamy Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Dhoni calling on Viru as soon as Kumble left the field and his celebrations at each of Viru's wickets plus the wickets themselves. Of course, Dhoni giving captaincy to Ganguly. And the PWNTing wicket. And the Hussey run-out by Vijay-Dhoni. Link to comment

Sachinism Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 that spell from Zak was pretty special Sachin passing the record Ganguly scoring a 100 in the 2nd test Link to comment
Dravid Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Clarke's 2nd test 2 innings wicket Jonhson's 4th test 2nd innings wicket :D Link to comment
Willow_on_fire Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Hayden out!!.. lbw to bhajji in the 4th test...coz... had Hayden stayed...there was a chance of 1-1 draw rather than a 2.0 victory. Link to comment
Dirty_South Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Zak to Haddin IS to Pwnting (2nd inn Mohali) Sachin getting that special 40th one :winky: Link to comment
bunny Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Zaheer getting Brett Lee and Ishant getting Ponting. Link to comment
Fontaine Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Zaheer reverse swinging the ball twice and picking up 5 or so wickets in just a handful deliveries. Batting sides collapse all the time but for a bowler to master reverse swing and send batsmen after batsmen back to the dressing room, well, is inspiring. Hope you're ready for the England series, we're going to need you Zaheer!! Link to comment
bharat297 Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 The 8-1 field against the Aussies ... and the way our bowlers turned the game on its head. Australia were 2/230 and then out of no where 4 quick wickets to turn the match on its head. Link to comment

Dhoni reminding him of his glory days and Ganguly turning all whimsical. Backed by the fact that I had just read Mahi of Midnapore where his friends say he admired Ganguly's captaincy... that was MAGICAL. Link to comment
coffee_rules Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Punter run out on D5 of T4. It was so hysterical at that time to watch him hurry, get out and that look was so funny. I can never forget it. I was pretty drunk at 12:30 AM on the Sunday night. I was pointing to the laptop at LOLing. Woke up the whole family. Link to comment
