Best last over bowler-> Jogineder Sharma.
:haha: Everytime someone brings this up...I still crack up thinking of that over...The first ball wide was a big :facepalm: generally it is always a thrilling contest to see who keeps their nerve better but in this case it was like who would panick more and make a stupid mistake and Miss-bah won that battle hands down.

Your favourite shot by our test Maharathis Must be a test batsman and please only choose ONE SHOT so it will be easier to read and no thread derailing or will be reported to mods. Sehwag-short wide ball which he carves over backward point with no footwork Gauti-Cutting fast bowlers or spinners Dravid-Playing so correctly through extra cover whether going forward or back. Textbook stuff. Tendulkar-Backfoot punch which he plays late and in unorthodox fashion Laxman-Lazy elegance through extra cover, all timing, no power and no footwork. Kohli/UV/Raina/Badri/Saha-:cantstop: Dhoni-Jumping in air, both feet off ground, slashing through point, just out of their reach. Almost like he was swatting an irritant bee away with his slipper.

I wish people would stop using this term (Maharathis). Most of the time I read it as Marathis.:cantstop:
How else would you describe our famed gladiators? They are not ordinary batsmen. Once upon a time their names caused fear in opponents, thousands and thousands of run in all conditions, there was no rest for the opponent. Get one wicket and you are greeted by someone even better :winky:

I love these controversies. Good post-match interview - joker to fellow joker.

Pull shot to point Suresh Raina.
Edge to third man Aakash Chopra. Apologies to S Badrinath.
Add to that, Edge to the slip cordon: :hail: Warushavithana Upul Tharanga Apologies to Phillip Hughes, and many other countless modern opening batmen.
