Ultimate_Game Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 KP really took the mickey out of Mark Waugh... "This is what Aussies think about themselves... they are the best. Even if they are losing they are the best." Mark Wauh really lost it pushin for Umar Gul instead of Afridi at no. 3 :haha:
vvvslaxman Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 I like Ganguly being here rather than in the live commentary box. I haven't seen much of these discussions. But whatever i have seen is quiet entertaining.
Lord Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 Star Cricket is doing much better job than Neo regarding pre-post match analysis,keep it up:good:
JourneyMan Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 KP seems to be having the time of his life. At this rate he might not even bother going back to play for the Depressive XI.

vvvslaxman Posted October 10, 2012 Posted October 10, 2012 Mark waugh sounds like Amitab bachchan with his ideas. Remember how Amitab told that an opposition gave 4s and 6s as a tactical move :hysterical: . Murali karthik went speechless listening to his nonsense.

There was a county cricket game when this happened. I just can't get that article.

Yes - this actually happened in a county game! Had you told me 17 wides earlier I would have searched for the article. Amitabh is right - Murali Kartik is a douchebag. There was 77 runs given in that over. The 77-run over When people are asked what is the most number of runs to come off one over, thoughts turn to Tilak Raj and Malcolm Nash, who both conceded 36, to Ravi Shastri and Garry Sobers respectively. But in February 1990, Bert Vance went for more than twice that number in what ranks as one of first-class cricket's oddest overs. The incident took place on the final day of Wellington's Shell Trophy match against Canterbury in Christchurch. It was Wellington's last game of the season and they needed to win to ensure that they secured the title. On the final morning they declared their second innings, leaving Canterbury to chase 291 in what turned out to be 59 overs. Canterbury lost early wickets, and as John Morrison, the former New Zealand batsman and at the time Wellington's coach, remembers, they "put the shutters up very early in a run-chase that was very feasible and we just couldn't remove them in the normal way". Although Canterbury had looked like losing when they slumped to 108 for 8, Lee Germon and Roger Ford had stopped the rot and seemed set to hold out for a draw. Although when the penultimate over started Canterbury were eight wickets down, Germon, their wicketkeeper and no dunce with the bat, was still in and on strike. Morrison and Erv McSweeney, Wellington's captain-wicketkeeper, hatched a plan and Bert Vance, the New Zealand batsman who was nearing the end of his career and so had no bowling figures of any note to worry about, agreed to help them. The idea was to feed Canterbury enough runs so that they would get close enough to the target and then perhaps risk their last two wickets going for glory. They began the over on 196 for 8 with Germon 75 not out. Vance proceeded to bowl a succession of no-balls, and of his first 17 deliveries only one - the second - was legitimate. Full-toss after full-toss was lobbed down from two or three yards down the track - "Bert overdid it somewhat," recalled Morrison - and each one was cracked to the boundary past motionless fielders. Germon brought up his hundred off the sixth ball, and in all he took 70 off the over, including eight sixes and five fours. Ford faced two balls midway through the carnage and scored five. The real problems, however, were off the pitch, where the bewildered scorers and scoreboard operators lost track of what was happening and at one point resorted to consulting with spectators to try to resolve the chaos. Even the umpire was left bewildered, only allowing five legitimate deliveries before calling an end to proceedings. The situation had not been resolved when Evan Gray bowled the final over. Unbeknown to both sides, Canterbury had moved to within 18 of victory, and another 17 from Germon off the first five balls levelled the scores. But with the scoreboard rendered inactive as the scorers still battled to make sense of Vance's over, Ford blocked the last delivery of the match. Only when the players returned to their changing rooms did the position become clear. The arguments continued long after the match. "There was all sorts of debate discussing this outrageous situation," recalled Morrison. "Howls of protest and the like, but in the end we were not docked any points, and through a couple of other very fortuitous results we won the championship. As you can imagine I copped a fair bit of flack, but winning the championship took most of the sting out of that... I quickly went from the outhouse to the penthouse!" But the hastily conceived plan had almost backfired. "I nearly had heart failure when I learnt a little time after the game that Canterbury only needed one to win and we had Vance bowling to a very leaky field," Morrison explained. "It was also very possible because of the confusion that he may have bowled yet another no-ball. "I decided that the tactic, while being innovative, was definitely a once only! But it's now a noted game and lives on whereas if the conventional tactics had been used the game would have faded completely and anonymously into the past." Much like Steve O'Shaughnessy's 35-minute hundred in 1983, Vance's over is consigned to being a footnote in the record books, although the 182-run ninth-wicket stand remains a Canterbury record. http://www.espncricinfo.com/magazine/content/story/451716.html
vvvslaxman Posted October 11, 2012 Posted October 11, 2012 No .. Dexter.. Amitab was not referring to this.. He was referring to the match that was going on. Amitabh was so naive that i could not believe he was born in India. Complete lack of cricket knowledge he displayed throughout the match. Amitab sounded utterly naive given the context of the match.

IIRC he was talking as Auro in that match,so may hv been on purpose to sound stupid
