15th March 1979
An early exhibition of reverse swing [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 1979, legendary Pakistan seamer Sarfraz Nawaz gave world cricket its earliest glimpse into the art of reverse swing bowling when in a span of 33 deliveries he prized out seven Australian wickets condemning them to a shock 71-run defeat in the first Test of the two-match series at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. The Test match looked dead and buried with Australia cruising at 305 for three chasing 382. Nawaz cleaned up centurion Allan Border to start the unlikely collapse. Kim Hughes then watched from the other end as the others crumbled to the genius of Nawaz, before falling to the speedster himself. Nawaz ended with figures of 9 for 86 as Australia folded for 310. Graham Yallop, the Australian captain, was the only batsman not to be dismissed by Nawaz. He was run-out. Despite Pakistan taking a 1-0 lead, Australia fought back in the second Test at Perth to level the series at one-game apiece. Stay Tuned to SATHUNTERS FORUM You will be amazed........ |

16th March 2012
The 100th Hundred [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 2012, Sachin Tendulkar completed a jaw-dropping 100th international century when he pushed Shakib Al-Hasan towards square-leg for a single in an India-Bangladesh Asia Cup encounter in Mirpur. The wait for the milestone was excruciatingly long. Tendulkar completed his 99th century during the 2011 World Cup group stages and then went through tournaments in England, Australia and at home against West Indies without a century despite batting reasonably well. The 100th was an uncharacteristically subdued innings but by the end of it, an expression of relief writ large on Tendulkar's face. The match turned out to be bittersweet for Tendulkar himself as India's total of 289 was overhauled by Bangladesh, a result that eventually dumped India out of the competition. Tendulkar's feat of 100 100s is likely to withstand the test of time and much like Don Bradman's average of 99.94, will probably never be broken.

17th March 1996
Sri Lanka lift the World Cup [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. Aravinda de Silva was the hero on the big night, following up his 3/42 and 2 catches with a sterling 107 as Sri Lanka became the first co-host nation to clinch the World Cup. After being invited to bat first, the Sri Lankan spinners restricted Australia to 241 at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. Sri Lanka endured a shaky start, losing their in-form openers early, but Aravinda de Silva and Arjuna Ranatunga steered them to the finish line with ice-coolness. From underdogs to top-dog was Sri Lanka's story of the 1996 World Cup. Reversal afterreversal in the previous five World Cups, the Islanders surged to the title, despite being wounded by off-field issues. Though Gurusinha retired a few months after lifting the World Cup, Sri Lanka went from strength to strength with the likes of Jayasuriya and Muralitharan continuing to make waves.

Death of Bob Woolmer [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. Grief replaced anger on the streets of Pakistan as the country reeled from the death of cricket coach Bob Woolmer a day after the national team's humiliating exit from the World Cup. Woolmer died on March 18 just a few hours after Pakistan's shocking defeat at the hands of minnows Ireland and their subsequent elimination from the mega-event. Initially the Jamaican police had said they were probing a murder case but after three months they announced that the former England cricketer had died of natural causes.

19th March 1968
A fatal declaration [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. Gary Sobers is fondly remembered for being one of the greatest all-rounders the game of cricket has ever seen. However, on this day, in 1968, he had one of his few off days, as captain, and his gaffe cost West Indies a Test match against England. Having won the toss on a relatively easy paced Port of Spain wicket, Sobers' West Indies squad registered a mammoth 526 runs against the English attack before the skipper decided to declare the innings. England responded with 404 thanks to a Colin Cowdrey ton. Then came Sobers' mistake. Despite knowing that his lead bowler, Charlie Griffith was out injured, he declared West Indies' second innings at 92 for two, leaving England to chase down 215 in about 55 permissible overs. Colin Cowdrey scored a 75-ball 71 and in the company of Geoffrey Boycott's 80*, scored at four runs to the over and helped England seal a memorable seven wicket win. With the other four matches drawn, Sobers' one little mistake gave England the series win. Stay Tuned to SATHUNTERS FORUM You will be amazed........ |
