Laaloo Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 To be honest, I have watched that innings. It was on one of the most flattest pitches. Also the shortest boundry ropes. The ball raced to the boundry even when the ball was not middled. Therefore I never found that inngs appealing. Nothing to take away from Sachin's achievement, It was no doubt a great one. But as a cricket follower I would have liked a even contest between bat and ball. Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk cool story bro
zep1706 Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 Check the time stamp on my post - it says 09.57 GMT. The game started at 14.30 local time. The time difference is 5 1/2 hours i.e. the prediction was delivered at 15.27 local time. Now' date=' I don't know what the over rate was but 12 overs into the game Tendulkar was on 50. I can tell you the actual thought occurred to me at least 10 minutes or so before this point.[/quote'] Would you like to read my palm? :cantstop:

Scoring a double hundred in an ODI, even against Afghanistan is not an easy task, and scoring against one of the best bowling attacks in the world like SAF is simply outstanding.

gaurav92 Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 Virendar She-wag? The bonafide FTB. Oh so 3 double ton in almost 3500 ODIs is too many?
Jersey #10 Posted May 26, 2014 Posted May 26, 2014 Some of us were discussing predictions in the Mumbai vs Rajasthan IPL game yesterday. Bumping this thread for the greatest prediction on this site ever.
Roshanrocks Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 No it was his mate that made the prediction... the greatest prediction in ICF is here.. Greatest Prediction
goose Posted March 21, 2015 Author Posted March 21, 2015 People say it is impossible to compare batsman across different eras. Would Bradman for instance succeed in the limited over format? One can only speculate. When a man who debuted in 1989, manages a batting feat in 2010, that is still regarded as a collectors item in 2015....you don't need to speculate. Which 200 was the best you ask...behave yourselves!
