Best 'cameo' from an Indian in a world cup?

[Sidhoni]

Viru vs Pak : They never really bounced back from the assault. Raina was also brilliant in that match lower down the order and against Aussies

Agree.....Took their in-form and best bowler out of equation

Not true - they did in the form of Wahab Riaz. In fact, had it not been for Raina we may be staring down the barrel. Although, it was a good cameo.

Nayan Mongia against the West Indies in the 96 world cup. We were tottering at 130/5, chasing 170. Mongia came in and played a couple of brave shots and took us home with help from Kambli.

How they did not bounce back? They did really well after such a start to stop India and if not for poor catching, we could have seen a different result.

Nice memories...Good one VVS...Each one of those innings was incredible....I remember More playing another very small cameo against Aus in 1992 in a losing cause as well...It was incredible as it almost snatched victory from the jaws of defeat.Special mention to Manju in that match as well

1 over 13 to win. Bowler was Tom Moody. More hits first 2 balls for boundaries. 5 required off 4, More gets bowled, then 4 required off 1, Srinath almost hits the last ball for 6, steve waugh drops a catch at the boundary, batsmen manage to run 2 and one of the batsmen gets run out going for 3rd. India loses by 1 run. Of course that's all from memory, I may be a little off somewhere.

[philcric]

And Manju scored run-a-ball 46 in that match, the stand out shot being a straight 6 off Merv Hughes.

[Rocky Balboa]

Jadeja by a long margin.... Waqar never really recovered from that assault. He was never the same bowler again...

[hassan_113]

Jadeja. We were hot favourites to win but that assault left a huge target to chase. It should've been chased down but erratic middle order shots cost us the game. Waqar got no reverse swing and was bowling too front on.

[Sidhoni]

Although, it was a good cameo.[/quote'] Viru's knock was the difference between the two sides there. Gul was not able to recover and hence we got runs off him in later stages too.

[hassan_113]

To be honest I was comfortable chasing 230 in the semi-final but 260 seemed like a step too far as the ball was becoming harder to hit as the pitch slowed down. 4 dropped catches and erratic batting was the problem. India played solid professional cricket to win the day.

[Crookbond]

Sidhoni - You said Pakistan did not bounce back - in fact they did with Wahab Riaz picking up those quick wickets and our scoring rate dipped considerably. Had it not been for 4 dropped catches and a (I dare say) lucky hawk eye review - India would be staring down the barrel. Sehwag's and Raina's knock indeed was the difference but was not that Pakistan did not bounce back. They did.

Yeah they did with those 2 wickets in 2 balls of Kohli and Yuvi but they were never really on top. Even after those 2 wickets, Sachin was there and Dhoni, Raina to come. Once when Raina was left alone, they could have fancied their chances but Raina played a great knock to get us back.

Jadeja all the way
