Tiger80 Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Dev 175. Beats em all. DEV. THE KING. +1 Link to comment
Tiger80 Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 best indian odi innings ever. without that there would have been no 83 win in turn leading to may be no sachin' date='dravid,kumble in turn leading to no sehwag,zaheer and so on. also no ipl and bcci bossing the icc.[/quote'] No sachin ? why Link to comment
deathmonger Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 No sachin ? why maybe i am saying. without that win cricket would not have been as big in india. sachin yes i guess. he was well on his way in 1983 towards a cricketing career. but ppl like ashwin, laxman, kumble who have engineering degrees would probably pursue engineering as cricket would not have been such a lucrative career.

CoverDrive Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 so the biggest thread after a fabulous knock is about comparing and we have people arguing why this not not such a good knock with silly arguments on small ground and not such a strong opposition (same set bowlers who have consistently bowled out our top order in the past 3 games) or how WI is not a top ranked team etc. etc. 200 in an ODI is a huge deal and to score that so easily take a certain amount of genius. comparing knocks is a futile exercise especially when both batsmen are someone we love. Why can't we just sit back and laud this awesome achievement. to me it was such a great knock because it was so inevitable Everyone was saying that Sehwag if he plays long has a very good chance of getting it and he did it finally. that is one reason why there is not a lot of hype around it. Sehwag makes everything looks to easy - you get lulled into feeling that runs are so easy to come by. But we have seen so many times in Tests how the pitch suddenly looks difficult once he gets out. another big reason i am very happy is that for an Indian Fan this is the perfect thing to have happened. With the scoring rates going up there will be people making 200 + runs now in ODI's. Shane Watson came very close and there will be others. an indian breaking the record is a really great thing and who better than Sachin's disciple to get it. Link to comment

Sarkar Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Any day Sachin 200 better than Anwar 194 how ever Sachin and Sehwag are my fav players in Indian cricket. Link to comment
putrevus Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Comparing the quality of bowling attacks for both knows WI had far better bowling than SA who had no else other than Steyn that day. Link to comment
Andrew Peter Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Comparing the quality of bowling attacks for both knows WI had far better bowling than SA who had no else other than Steyn that day. Yes and Steyn is a nobody along with Kallis while the likes of Roach , Rampul , Sammy have 1000 International wickets together . Link to comment
Sarkar Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Haha gud joke comparing Steyn Kallis with Roach Rampaul Link to comment
putrevus Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Yes and Steyn is a nobody along with Kallis while the likes of Roach ' date=' Rampul , Sammy have 1000 International wickets together .[/quote'] Roach is far better than Kallis of 2010, Steyn is a great test bowler but he has never made his mark in ODIs so far atleast.He has played just 57 odis. Rampaul has very similiar odi stats .It is not as if Steyn is Joel Garner in ODIS. So how is that bowling attack better than WI attack. Link to comment

Magneto Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Langeveldt and Parnell are as good (if not better) than Roach and Sammy. Link to comment
CSK Fan Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Roach is far better than Kallis of 2010, Steyn is a great test bowler but he has never made his mark in ODIs so far atleast.He has played just 57 odis.

Yep thats why West Indies has been winning ODIs after ODIs and are a force to reckon with unlike south Africa Link to comment
putrevus Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Yep thats why West Indies has been winning ODIs after ODIs and are a force to reckon with unlike south Africa IF SA persisted with same bowling attack which played in that match they would also be in WI league. Link to comment
CSK Fan Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 IF SA persisted with same bowling attack which played in that match they would also be in WI league. They were still winning a lot with the same bowling attack Link to comment
putrevus Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 They were still winning a lot with the same bowling attack other than steyn who played in that match as a bowler is in their team now.yeah they are winning with same bowling attack alright. Link to comment
CSK Fan Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 other than steyn who played in that match as a bowler is in their team now.yeah they are winning with same bowling attack alright. I am talking of before that series not after. Cue the word 'were' Link to comment
putrevus Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 I am talking of before that series not after. Cue the word 'were' That is only match which all three played together and SA lost that one. Link to comment

You are giving that Kapil Dev 175 too much credit here. Its not one of those vital moments of Indian cricketing history as you make it out to be. Cricket would still be lucrative as there just is too much money involved in it now. Link to comment
Mariyam Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Which has better? WTF is this poal? Hasn't you enough brain to comprehendate English? Didn't you knew the meaning of the poal? Shut up your mouth and vote. :winky: No arguation please. Link to comment
