Austin 3:!6 Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 Sharjah cricket ground is always remembered for its age old history. A ground with lots of memories for the people who grown up in 90's. Those tri series Coca Cola cups, Australasia cups and ofcourse the classic Indo - Pak rivalries. So many memories which probably kids of these generation have missed. Who can forget that last ball six by Miandad which changed the entire psyche of Indian cricket more than a decade. Then those desert storm innings by Sachin and the brutal assault on Henry olonga. And then there was late great Tony Greig. Still his epic commentry echoes when Sachin was going gaga. Ganguly clearing the roof 3 times. Daud Ibrahim watching cricket match. This will be first time many Indian cricketers of this generation will have the priviledge to play in this ground thanks to IPL. Players like Dhoni, Kohli, Ashwin, Raina etc. have never played in Sharjah cricket ground before. This will be a great moment for this yound Indian cricketers and fans to relieve yester years special memories. As we draw close to IPL which is to be held in UAE, please share your memories about Sharjah Cricket Ground. :two_thumbs_up::two_thumbs_up::two_thumbs_up:
fineleg Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 Who can forget that last ball six by Miandad which changed the entire psyche of Indian cricket more than a decade. What "entire" psyche did it change!??
Rotating Potato Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 I dont know why but i have a feeling that dhoni raina and csk will really feel at home there.
Austin 3:!6 Posted April 10, 2014 Author Posted April 10, 2014 What "entire" psyche did it change!?? Not able to beat them in Sharjah games for a long time. Agree, the umpires were sold out which assisted parosis. I honestly believe overall India has been a better team than Pakistan but the overall record shows otherwise due to Sharjah games and Miandad has a huge role to play there. India has beaten them in all important events starting from 85 BH world series till 2014 W t'20, so no question who is a better side there.
Precambrian Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 Sharjah is a hell hole, Dubai is eons better, even the quality of stadium and location. There is no booze in Sharjah as well.

Who were the sell out there? Your umpires or players? Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk Yes Pakistan has better record in India like India has upper hand in Pakistan. Dosen't say much about which team is better though.
jonas10 Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 Good news is nowerdays cellphones are small so it will be harder seeing them to talk to bookies. :hysterical:
Utalk Posted April 11, 2014 Posted April 11, 2014 Yes Pakistan has better record in India like India has upper hand in Pakistan. Dosen't say much about which team is better though. Where did you get that from? In Pakistan we have won 14 lost 11. In india we have 19 lost 11. Sharamnaak signature.

sillymidoff Posted April 11, 2014 Posted April 11, 2014 yeah historic in the sense that this venue was one of the first ever where games started getting fixed. guys like kapil, saleem, azhar were legends of that aspect of the game.
vijay50 Posted April 11, 2014 Posted April 11, 2014 Worst ground for Indian cricket. India should not play international cricket in Sharjah.
NareshK Posted April 11, 2014 Posted April 11, 2014 Hub of match fixing, ball tampering and meaningless ODIs. That's the history of Sharjah.
vijay50 Posted April 11, 2014 Posted April 11, 2014 Pakistan will pressurize its maximum to play India in Sharjah. But , India should not play in Sharjah against Pakistan.
fineleg Posted April 12, 2014 Posted April 12, 2014 Did batsmen like Neil Fairbrother (England?) get century in Sharjah? (Update: No, he got a 83 against India in Chennai in 1993 in Test match)
Asim Posted April 12, 2014 Posted April 12, 2014 Not able to beat them in Sharjah games for a long time. Agree' date= the umpires were sold out which assisted parosis.
