First memories of cricket

[StatsRock]

Oh......May be it was 200 wickets in ODI....I vaguely remember watching it live...and pretty sure that was Sharjah

Okay. In the link I presented, his 147th wicket that made him #1 came at Sharjah against WI.

What is your earliest cricketing memory? That means the earliest matches you recall seeing on TV. Mine was the 1985 B&H world championship. Fell in love with the colored clothing and awesome coverage.

The 1996 World Cup Semi final with people burning things and Kambli crying.

[TheWall]

1981 Eng series. The match at Mumbai..

[Sooda]

96 WC here too, it was when I started watching cricket properly. Can picture Kambli running off in tears but also happier memories like SRTs tons vs Kenya, good knock vs Aus in the group matches, Jayasuriya, Mark Waugh who became my favourite player...

Earliest (hazy) memories - 1985 B&H World Championship in Australia. Vivid Memories - 1987 World Cup (Sidhu's sixes, C Sharma's hat trick, Azhar's terrific catch off his own bowling against Australia .. yes he used to bowl medium pace back then).

[philcric]

Found the clipping of Azhar's catch on YouTube. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yhww7Xj0u3A]Azharuddin Bowling and taking great catch - YouTube[/ame]

[Khalpat]

1990: India's tour to England and the brilliant century by Azharudin, I guess it was the same match in which Sachin hit his debut century. The 171 odd by Azhar in the first inning till date remains the best century I have seen.

Earliest Hazy memories : India vs. Pakistan test series played in Pakistan in 1983-1984 with Zaheer Abbas Batting. Also , India vs. WI Series in 1983 on B&W Telly with Sunil Gavaskar hitting 236 not out in Madras... Fikrst impression in my young mind was that this WI team was near invincible and contest seemed to be so unequal with Indian Batsman in serious danger of injury ..It was unbelievable to see Sunil Gavaskar take on these bowlers with just a floppy hat and no protective gear Vivid Memories : 1984 India vs. England Test Series followed by India's win in Benson &Hedges World Series Cup in Australia ..Channel 9 coverage was so awesome ..such a contrast to the drab DD coverage..used to wake up at 5:30 AM to watch the matches..:)
