EnterTheVoid Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 Once and only once, when Steve Waugh was given a lap of honour and retired after the end of the 2003 / 2004 SCG Border Gavaskar Series Sydney Test. Plenty of water has flown under the bridge since than, Kumbles retirement, Ganguly's retirement, 2007 WC diasaster, being conned at Sydney 2008 etc, but Waughs retirement, man that was an awful feeling. The great man continues his charity work in Kolkata to this very day. :hatsoff: On the other hand, laughed long and hand at the miseries of the Pak team against Australia, starting from that Hobart test :hysterical:
pappu_kanghi Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 Didnt shed a tear. But i was very dissappointed after losing against Bangladesh in World Cup 2007. 1999 WC India vs Zim. When our tailenders couldnt even make 4 runs. Sydney Test against Aussies. That was india's match.
Guest DeveGowda Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 Last time i shed tear in a cricket match - 96 WC Semifinal , i watched that match in Some friends house 15 mins walk from my home , unable to control tear walking back after Crowd trouble and Match given to SL....Even foolish enough to think that Kambli should have won that match :hysterical:
Gunner_Mania Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 When we lost to Pakistan at Chennai after the 'back-breaking' century from Tendulkar. I was there in the stands and couldn't hold the emotions back when the Pakistani boys did their lap of honour. Tendulkar didn't deserve losing that day.
SachDan Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 Barbados - 1997 http://www.cricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/63747.html Chennai - 1999 :((

I was there in the stands and couldn't hold the emotions back when the Pakistani boys did their lap of honour. Tendulkar didn't deserve losing that day. That was the time when we were one man army. Every inning used to depend on Sachin. He was in pain at that time. Still he tried his best. But we also had some jokers who couldnt even hold bats for 2 balls at that time. Otherwise we would have won that match.

If we had Zaheer and Bhajji at that time. We would have won that match. I even remember that match against Zim in World Cup 1999. Where we lost by 5 or 6 runs i guess. After Robin Singh got out. We lost 3 wickets when we just needed 4-5 runs. That was a very crucial game for india.
EnterTheVoid Posted January 28, 2010 Author Posted January 28, 2010 Pakistan versus Sri Lanka, Lahore Test, 2009, expected another boring draw, but when the news of the attack came through, was left completely horrified and motionless. For one week after that incident, I didn't eat well, sleep well, didn't talk to anyone, spent almost day and night sitting in front of the computer reading the latest on the terror attacks. Seeing the lankan players in bandages, oh god, that was excruciating to watch. Was completely paralysed by the thought it could have been us had we gone ahead, thank god we didn't.
vvvslaxman Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 Yea when Pakistan was bundled out for 53 & 59. Happy tears :hysterical: Seriously.. i don't recall shedding tears. But i have gotten angry lot of times.

EnterTheVoid Posted January 28, 2010 Author Posted January 28, 2010 Pak v Australia SCG 2010, oh god, I never laughed that hard EVER before, laughed even harder than 99 world cup final against Australia :hysterical:
zubinpepsi Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 I had tears when i saw kambli crying at Eden 1996 WC semis.. and i smashed a chair when sachin got out when he was 97 against pak 2003 centurion..
Sachinism Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 never shed a tear, but been heart broken / distraught / super angry 96 WC Semi 2003 WC final being robbed at Sydney Team throwing it away after a superman effort from Sachin vs Pakistan recently vs Aus in Hyd (Tendy 175) Pakistan coming back after Pathan's 1st over hat-trick
EnterTheVoid Posted January 28, 2010 Author Posted January 28, 2010 Zubin, what about Mendis vs India in the test series in Sri Lanka, with that carrom ball flicking technique of his fingers. We got our revenge all right, paid back with interest, he has never been the same bowler since :hysterical:
zubinpepsi Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 Zubin' date=' what about Mendis vs India in the test series in Sri Lanka, with that carrom ball flicking technique of his fingers. We got our revenge all right, paid back with interest, he has never been the same bowler since :hysterical:[/quote'] the revenge was settled already back in 1999 when ganguly and dravid gave them their biggest ass whopping in Taunton.. i went crazy that day.. my hate for this Sh!tty overrated team started from the 96 WC semifinal match..
EnterTheVoid Posted January 28, 2010 Author Posted January 28, 2010 One thing that really upsets me is the reaction of fanatics after India lose an important match, the burning of effigies, mass vandalism, the procession of mock funerals of current players, BCCI decision makers etc, it's not a matter of life and death for godness sake, just a game
