RE: This DAY in that YEAR (cricket)
7th March 1952
A king is born [IMG]Guests cannot see images and links in the messages. Please register to forum by clicking Register Here to see images.[/IMG] OR Login to view. On this day in 1952, a legend of the game, Sir Issac Vivian Alexander Richards, was born in St.John's, Antigua. Few batsman in world cricket have intimidated bowlers as much as Viv did and few had the swagger of his. Richards dominated bowlers for over two decades during the 70s and 80s. He averaged 47 in ODI cricket at a time when 30 was considered 'good'. Despite averaging over 50 in Test cricket, some of his finest performances came in the shorter format. He smashed a stunning 138 against England in the final of the 1979 World Cup taking the hosts completely out of the game. His 189 against at Old Trafford in 1984 ranks amongst the best innings ever played in the shorter format. Richards was named among the five best players of the 20th century by Wisden. Also, on this day, Sunil Gavaskar became the first batsman to aggregate 10,000 runs in Test match history. Stay Tuned to SATHUNTERS FORUM You will be amazed........ |

8th March 1992
Jonty runs Inzi out [IMG]Guests cannot see images and links in the messages. Please register to forum by clicking Register Here to see images.[/IMG] OR Login to view. On this day in the 1992 World Cup, Jonty Rhodes announced himself to the cricketing world with an inspired piece of fielding, one that would serve as benchmark for all achievements in fielding. Chasing a revised target of 194 in 36 overs, Pakistan were closing in thanks to a vital stand of 61 between captain Imran Khan and Inzamam. Inzi, in particular, looked in ominous touch and had slammed his way to 48. Ominous until he decided to sneak a single off Brian McMillan in the 31st over. The Pakistan batsman missed a heave and tried to steal a leg-bye. He only taken a few steps towards the non-strikers end before he was sent back by Imran Khan. Jonty Rhodes, fielding at point, however, was on the ball in a flash. With only one stump to aim at, Jonty opted for something more eye-catching than a throw. He raced forward and hurled himself towards the stumps. His arm fully outstretched, and his body parallel to the ground Rhodes shattered the stumps. Inzamam was caught short of the crease and South Africa had claimed the all-important wicket. That proved to be the turning point in the game and South Africa went on to win the rain-marred game by 20 runs. Stay Tuned to SATHUNTERS FORUM You will be amazed........ |

9th March 1996
India Pakistan classic in Bangalore [IMG]Guests cannot see images and links in the messages. Please register to forum by clicking Register Here to see images.[/IMG] OR Login to view. On this day during the 1996 World Cup, India pipped Pakistan for a second successive World Cup in a thrilling quarter-final at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore. Electing to bat first after winning the toss, India rode on a 93 from Navjot Singh Sidhu and Ajay Jadeja's pyrotechnics against Waqar Younis to post a daunting 287 in their 50 overs. Pakistan openers Saeed Anwar and Aamer Sohail started brightly, adding 84 in the opening 10 overs before Anwar fell. An iconic moment followed soon after. Sohail having smacked Venkatesh Prasad for four through covers gestured that he would repeat the treatment. In a classic case of 'What goes around comes around', Prasad castled the Pakistan opener with the very next ball. Pakistan never recovered from that setback and collapsed to a 39-run defeat. Incidentally it was the legendary Javed Miandad's final ODI. Stay Tuned to SATHUNTERS FORUM You will be amazed........ |

10th March 2009
Phillip Hughes scores twin tons [IMG]Guests cannot see images and links in the messages. Please register to forum by clicking Register Here to see images.[/IMG] OR Login to view. On this day in 2009, the late Phillip Hughes overcame a nervous initiation to Test cricket by smashing twin tons at Kingsmead, Durban to give Australia a 175-run win over South Africa. Hughes, who had scored a duck in his debut in the previous Test, justified his inclusion in the team by composing two of the finest tons against a quality South African attack that featured Dale Steyn, Makhaya Ntini, Morne Morkel and Jacques Kallis. After electing to bat, both the openers, Hughes and Simon Katich scored centuries before a lower-order collapse restricted Australia to 352. After the Australia blew away South Africa, Hughes scored a much more patient 160 to set the hosts a daunting total of 546 to chase in the fourth innings, a target too steep even for a talented South African line-up. The victory enabled Australia to score a 2-0 away series win, a fine riposte after dropping the home series to the Proteas. Stay Tuned to SATHUNTERS FORUM You will be amazed........ |

11th March 1996
Brian Lara stuns South Africa [IMG]Guests cannot see images and links in the messages. Please register to forum by clicking Register Here to see images.[/IMG] OR Login to view. On this day in the 1996, a Brian Lara stunner knocked the buccaneering South African side out of the World Cup at the quarter-final stage allowing West Indies to progress to the final four. South Africa headed into their knockout clash against Richie Richardson's men riding high on a 10-match winning streak. On a dry surface at the National Stadium in Karachi, they opted to leave out 'White Lightning' Allan Donald for the chinaman bowler Paul Adams, a decision that proved to be fatal. West Indies opted to bat and Lara, who'd had a quite tournament until then, sparked into life. He unfurled his full repertoire of shots against the spin of Adams and Pat Symcox en-route his 94-ball 111. Riding on Lara's brilliance, West Indies posted 264 in their 50 overs before choking the South Africans with their own spin duo of Roger Harper and Jimmy Adams. Unfortunately, their run came to an end in the semis when Shane Warne spun a web around their batsmen in Mohali. West Indies haven't reached another World Cup semi- final since.

12th March 2006
The greatest ODI ever played [IMG]Guests cannot see images and links in the messages. Please register to forum by clicking Register Here to see images.[/IMG] OR Login to view. The greatest ODI game ever was played on this day in 2006 at the Wanderers in Johannesburg between hosts South Africa and Australia. With the bilateral series tied 2-2, Australia and South Africa served up 872 runs as South Africa hunted down a gargantuan 434 to record the highest successful chase in an ODI. Going in to the innings break following Ricky Ponting's epic 164 and whirlwind half-centuries from Michael Hussey, Adam Gilchrist and Simon Katich, the Australian think-tank hadn't anticipated the South African's to come out playing the way they did. Herschelle Gibbs (175 off 111) played arguably the greatest ODI innings to orchestrate the improbable. He was well supported by skipper Graeme Smith (90 off 55) and the duo added 187 runs in just over 20 overs. When Gibbs got out in the 32nd over, South Africa still needed 135 more. Someone had to apply the finish. Mark Boucher was that man. South Africa's long serving wicket-keeper was well- served by an Australian attack that had a contrasting evening. Mick Lewis conceded a record 113 runs in his 10 while Bracken picked up a 5-fer on the flattest of tracks. Boucher scored a 43-ball 50, dropping anchor, as all around him threw the kitchen sink at Australia. The hosts needed 7 off the final over bowled by Brett Lee. Andrew Hall hit a four and then got out. No. 11, Makhaya Ntini squeezed his first ball to third-man before Boucher completed the 'Miracle of Johannesburg' with a four over mid-on.

13th March 1996
In to the finals, by default [IMG]Guests cannot see images and links in the messages. Please register to forum by clicking Register Here to see images.[/IMG] OR Login to view. On this day in the 1996 World Cup, Match referee Clive Lloyd had to award Sri Lanka the match after a section of the Eden Gardens crowd threw bottles into the outfield and set fire to the seating seeing India collapse from 98/1 to 120/8. Irrespective of Lloyd's ruling, the outcome of the crucial semi-final was never in doubt after Sri Lanka posted 251/8 in their 50 overs after Indian skipper Mohammad Azharuddin opted to field first. In the match, India struck early by removing the dangerous duo of Sanath Jayasuriya and Romesh Kaluwitharana in the first over before Aravinda de Silva made a stroke-filled 66 to put the visitors in command. Even with the pitch turning square in the second half of the innings, Sachin Tendulkar scored a solid 65 before his dismissal triggered the Indian collapse. As India lost wickets, the boisterous Kolkata crowd turned their anger towards the inanimate objects in the vicinity. The sight of a teary Vinod Kambli walking off the Eden Gardens became a part of the India's World Cup folklore. Sri Lanka however proceeded to the final where they beat Australia to win their first World title. Stay Tuned to SATHUNTERS FORUM You will be amazed........ |
