Important 'Go Slow' Match Saving Cameos (Non 50s)

[Analyst Maaz]

Following ABDs 29* from 114 at the Gabba this idea came about Here are some of them Most as expected are in the 2nd innings (3rd or 4th) 1st innings where indicated There must have been many others missed Add if you can These are the best 21 in my view: 1) Jack Russel 29* from 235 balls 1995 2) Danny Morrison 14* from 133 balls 1997 3) Rahul Dravid 12 from 96 balls 2007 4) Geoff Allot 0 from 77 balls 1999 5) Monty 7* from 35 balls 2009 6) Chris Tavare 35 from 240 balls 1982 (first innings - killed time) 7) Azhar Ali 28* from 135 balls 2010 8) Misbah ul Haq 9* from 86 balls 2011 9) Bob Taylor 36 from 200 balls 1978 (first innings - killed time) 10) Robert Croft 37* from 125 balls 1998 11) Mark Ramprakash 34 from 149 balls 1998 12) Rahul Dravid 11* from 64 balls 2008 13) Asad Shafiq 7* from 55 balls 2011 14) Anil Kumble 9* from 52 balls 2008 15) Paul Collingwood 26* from 99 balls 2009/10 16) Razzaq 25* from 91 balls 2006 17) Matt Prior 12* from 64 balls 2007 18) Darren Gough 12 from 76 balls 1998 19) Chris Tavare 42 from 202 balls 1980 (first innings - killed time) 20) Mudassar Nazar 27 from 133 balls 1977 (first innings - killed time) 21) Geoff Boycott 49* from 163 balls 1980

12 of 96 :hatsoff:

[saneindian]

12 off 96 by RD a match saving effort when we were leading the poms by 319 runs after 1st innings?

[Laaloo]

I can also give you a match losing partnership Dravid and Sachin at Cape Town 2006 Oh and the match losing bowling partnership ( we didn't lose the match, but the position we were in and then losing the match ) Ishant and Dhoni ( with regards to Sreesanth) also at cape town

[putrevus]

The op must be day dreaming how is Dravid 12 or 96 balls in 2007 is match saving, India leading by 319 were looking for quick runs and Dravid totally stone walled that and it took whole momentum away from Indian team and Match ended up in Draw.

Gautam Gambhir in NZ 2009.

12 in 96 was not a match saving innings. India was in commanding position to push for a win.

[vvvslaxman]

Gilbert's innings against India at MCG was definitely a match saving effort. 77 runs last wicket partnership with Border earned them the draw.

[Raghav_12]

OP would be the only time ever when Dravid's 12 off 96 has been talked in positive tone. Don't know what that innings is doing in list of match-saving innings.
