On the 20th Anniversary of that test
11-15 March 2001
India vs Australia
Border gavaskar trophy
This was the greatest test match to be ever be played.
India had just been humiliatied at Wankhede by the invincible ausies.
And invincible indeed...
They had won 16 tests in a row at this point
India in the other hand..
Kumble the veteran spinner wasn't a part of the squad...
And the rest of the spinners on the team hadn't even played 10 tests...
Harbhajan who was suspended for indiscipline had ben recalled due to Dadas insistance....
Famously Declaring, im not leaving this room till I get harbajan on the team…
But even bhajjis his best record,
till this point was 3/30
Australia finished the the Mumbai test in 3 days.
India couldn't score more then 200 in a single innings
Dada was booed of the ground by an angry Mumbai crowd
&
Bishen Singh bedi declared this match as the demise of Indian cricket.
But when the plane carrying the indian team landed in kolkata for the second test
This is the story
Of what actually transpired after that...
The true story that happened behind the scenes
When nobody was watching
A story
Of the struggle
The blood and sweat
And the sheer dedication
That went into making a miracle happen.
Many of us didn't even know that Dravid and lakshman suffered this much pain,,what we know is their epic fightback ,,thanks for giving us eacha nd every tiny things of match that made the test more epic ❤️❤️❤️
I always find it weird that it was never publicized.
Many people have actually went on the record and said this multiple time.
Even the physiotherapist has written papers on it.
It should be an integral part of the story right.
@@cricketraazenglish I think VVS Laxman once talked about his back pain in a newspaper
Please tell rahul dravid that there was a young boy living in Pakistan rizwan khattak of latamber who lived with his love and now he is 37 and dravid doesn't knows , yes I love you dravid , please tell him must .
Beautifully written My friend.
Good cricketers and cricket lovers operate beyond political boundries
I was a big fan of wasim akram , inzzi , zaheer abbas and mian miandad , and off course , Imran the cricketor(not the politician)
Love across the border...
yes i like it
Lovely Buddy..💗
Pls do the same commentary for Hanuma Vihari and Ashwin's heroics in Australia
Rishab pant too
Yaa please
and also on the gabbaiator please
Yes please❤️🙏
Yes please, i support
Never thought I would cry watching a cricket commentary. Goddamn Dravid sir, I really wish someone could tell him the love his fans (devotees would be the correct word) have for him. Dravid, Laxman, Sachin, Sehwag, Dada what time that was.
😭😭
8:30 This shows what cricket matters to this country. Even the man on duty was celebrating it. I suggest you to do a story on Down under 2021.
It's in the books, Working with a graphic designer and a animator to make something unique.
This wasn't just another Test Match. It was an emotion of a billion people. It brought out the raw nerves and feelings of players and fans alike. As a young college student I used to have a pager those days just for the heck of it. Checking the scores after every over was giving me palpitations.
This match was the birth of real Indian crickets domination in the years to follow.
Your explanation is absolutely mesmerizing.
Today team India has beaten the foul mouthed Aussies in their own background in back to back Test Series!
Yes this match changed Indian cricket. Legendary match.
Thanks for the compliments, my friend.
I saw your comments across many videos,
genuinely thanks for the support.
And the match...that bloody match.
The thing for the longest time i only remember two images from that match.
one was harbhajan jumping in joy
and the second - laxman and dravid walking back to the pavillion.
@@cricketraazenglish truly well said 🙏👍 wish you all the best in your channel and may it grow into one big cricket fraternity.
It has to be known as 'Indian Cricket Day', its the birthday of our modern cricket team
I mean Australia did continue to dominate cricket for another 7 years
Completely mesmerized & awestruck by the brilliance of Laxman , Dravid & your speech😘
The story itself is beautifull, hope i did it justice.
I have similar feeling when I realized 20 years have gone by since that game.
Whenever India was down and out Rahul Dravid just got up and played and played for his country... ❤
Mark my words, before the end of 2021 this channel will go viral 🔥
Thanks for the well wishes man.
I saw your comments on other videos too.
Really helps a lot in motivating me to keep on trying.
and about viral.
this channel was sitting on 50 subscribers for a year.
So anything more then that is viral for me.
Well nice prediction , he recently hit 1 million views in 3 days ...
@@cricketraazenglish Keep up the good works 👍🏽
Its 2022... 146 subs... I predict that will double in 3 months
Excellent words
I feel compelled to comment! Being somebody who wasn't even born when this match happened, I've just read a couple articles about it, and instantly felt immense respect for them, even though I've never watched them play. And then I see this video on UA-cam! It's brilliant. I had goosebumps while hearing your narration of the heroics of these two legends. It's unbelievable how they sailed through and defeated the Aussies, the mighty, mighty Aussies while being in a condition like that.
I must say, the portion where you spoke about the pretense, about how "They pretended that..." and so on, I just could not hide a smile. I couldn't. This is just fantastic! You've done a splendid job on other videos that I've watched as well! I wish you all the best, for you're certainly doing this amazing job here! Hope to see more such videos from you (one about the Australia triumph in 2020-21 would be GREAT, which I did see that you said you're working on. Will be waiting for it. And of course will be waiting for more about old matches that happened long before I knew what cricket was XD)
Thanks a lot brother.
Just trying to learn and get better with each video.
and yes I have planned a video for that tour.
it's gone be very different from usual.
Wow 👍
Crying... seeing this video at the age of 36years... Still remember the day when I actually watched the match when I had class 10th exams going on in Kolkata...
That's fucking Eden Gardens....... Bow down to India's greatest ground
brother thats why i think dravid is the 'Wall' no matter what condition he stands and laxman 'The invinsible', they never talked about their efforts and that why they are respected so much in cricket community....they are really grt....👍
To this day, I consider myself fortunate to have watched every single ball of this test match. There was something about the way Laxman and Dravid started batting and my superstition of course did not let me budge. Each run, each defensive shot was worth its weight in gold.
"" one ball at a time ""
Rula diya yaar. 🇮🇳🇮🇳💪💪Long live India
I remember this day vividly....was in 10th std...we had a Saraswati Pooja in school to get divine blessings for the outgoing 10th std students in their board exams.....remember me asking the score every 5min from my teachers....
Those were the days man....
your narration is super...brought tears ....
Subbed
Thanks a lot brother 🙏🙏
I’ve been new to your videos and the way you explain every nuance of the whole situation that happened at that memorable moment is something extraordinary.. your choice of words n your delivery makes it even more special. 😊😊😊 thank you for making such memories even more special!! 😘😘 Keep up the good work buddy 😎😎🤩🤩
Those words mean a lot Man.
For the longest time my videos were just sitting in a corner of the net.
Felt as if I was screaming into a void.
So hearing such words..
Truly means a lot.
One of the greatest match of test cricket and one of the iconic test series for all ages! The rise began here under Ganguly for team India!
Tears came down my cheek, I couldn't realize. Such an emotional test match which changed the approach of Indian cricket
The celebrations were insane. When the match ended, they showed the inside of the dressing room. There was champagne being sprayed everywhere.
Laxman and Dravid will be remembered for this test match forever..❤️
Unforgettable match. Watched every second of it. Flawless batting. Grand memories
I knew all the facts you had mentioned and also the pay back dravid gave to Ian chappell. it's 20 years now everyone in that team has retired but that day is still fresh in my mind, the following day I'd to refresh cricinfo to make sure ; will the news change?
VVS And Dravid Indian Cricket's unsung heroes ... 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Was not born at this time so don't have any idea what happened that day, but your speech literally brought me goose bumps. Amazing stuff, you deserve more subscribers. By the way, do you have any idea where to see the replay of that full day? If yes, kindly tell.
ua-cam.com/video/hw8JmCLypyk/v-deo.html&ab_channel=ClassicCricket
I didn't find the entire replay, but the highlight is available in the below link.
Do check the next Test in Chennai as well. It was the series which started modern Indian cricket. It was a glorious run from there to till now with a minor dip during Chappell era.
i cried everytime i listen about selfness act of dravid sir
Nicely presented. That moment is etched in Indian cricket history as epochal. Nothing can match what these two achieved in trying circumstances against rampaging aussies
Thank you for making this video man. I was only one at the time when this test match happened so I couldn't experienced it live but I have seen highlights of this match and even watching the highlights gave me goosebumps, I experienced the same goosebumps when India beat Australia in Australia and England in England. Matches like these solidifies the statement that Cricket is not a sport in India, it's a religion and an emotion.
Actually it was Dravid's idea to move laxman at no.3. It was told by himself in the sachin's book launch.
Correct it.
4:05
20 years ago and it still feels like happened yesterday
They showed great determination and patriotism.. They are true players.. I think it's late... But congratulations Rahul Dravid and VVS Lakshman
OMG thats how real captain is the true definition of captain dhoni ponting came in another line but dada is God of all captain 🙏🙏
Man!!! You are THE storyteller..With your voice and the visuals you select, every moment comes to life..You are creating larger-than-life (in a very good way) moments that will allow every child to dream and believe in achieving greatness..cheers to you man :)
This and gabba test proves that players play selfless game even when we are at our very low, when players play for the team, play for nation instead of his own self, we perform extraordinary.
We have the inherent ability to rise up to the occasion and fight like a champion when we are at our worst and there's no hope.
There would definitely be memorable Hockey, kabbadi, football games where Indian team might have beaten the odds but for me, i just have few stories which i remember and all of those come from Cricket.
83 WC
2001 Ind Australia test series
2007 t20 WC
2021 India Australia test series
Each of the above, paved way to something significant to the game but also something quite positive among Indians. A confidence that we can be best and never back out from a fight. With current situation in India with so many fighting this virus, i think if you make a motivational video linking all this, i guess that would be great.
Other memorable mentions
96 India pak WC match
2011 WC
2013 CT
2016 India Bangla T20 WC

Greatest moment in Indian sporting history in 21st Century : VVS Laxman 281 in 2001 in Calcutta (first cricketer to breach 250 in 69 years and that too in a follow on innings) and Neeraj Chopra wins Athletic Gold in 2021 in Tokyo Olympics (first in 121 years) 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳👌👌👌👌👌🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
No one can forget these guys
Eden was made heaven on that day
You have made a mistake in your story at about 4:30. Ganguly batted on Day 3. He came to bat just before tea, after Sachin gout out. Then he almost batted through the last session, cutting down the lead with Laxman, and finally got out just before stumps. At stumps on Day 3, Laxman and Dravid were unbeaten, with Laxman having already crossed his hundred.
On Day 4, Laxman and Dravid batted the whole day and we didn't lose a wicket. Also I know the narrative is metaphorical, but the ground was full on all 5 days.
I was there on the 4th day. I had tickets for 5th day also. Thinking india will loose, gave the 5th day ticket to a cousin. 😭😭😭
So much nostalgia ❤️
Cricket was beautiful back then. For me. I wish I knew all this at that time. I wish I didn't lose the connection I had with cricket. The stories you're telling are something I always knew I wanted to hear, but couldn't find anywhere. Thanks for doing this.
One of the best games ever. As an England cricket fan, 2005 will always be the best series for me, but this comes a close 2nd. India found strength in adversity. Sometimes being down can make you play better. It’s like you have nothing to lose.
Complete Goosebumps!!!
What a narration, just relived those moments.
All I can remember from Laxman's bat was beautiful precision all along the ground 34 boundaries beautiful tick sound of the bat. This the first time I heard the behind the story.
you just hear that crack on wood....on each shot...
And knowing how much he must have been suffering at the time.
It makes it all the more Beautifull.
I couldn't stop smiling when you started saying -" They just pretended that...". The narration is so lively it brought tears in my eyes.
Man what stubborn players they were, who refused to give up, who choosed fighting for their country despite of being in pain. What a comeback it was.
I was 10 yrs old when I watched this live on TV, there was no internet so no would know these back stories then but after this victory Laxman, Dravid, Bhajji became household names. I remember all my friends, myself included would imitate Bhajji's run up. Once in a lifetime match❤️
Hope if 1% of patriotism and love for nation would have prevailed in the hearts of our present so called "Professional Cricketers" (except MSD, Gambhir, Raina, Rohit, Dhawan, Ashwin, Jadeja).
Whats wrong with today's team they have won a series in Australia and England which even gangulys team didn't achieve
That australian team was something else…
*THIS IS ENOUGH TO MAKE A GROWN MAN CRY. and THAT'S OKAY!!*
Best test match I have ever seen .. there were so much special things in this match ,
Laxman destroying Shane warne and other bowlers and after David did the same ,
Never seen Laxman playing aggressive cricket except that day , he was so good in the test series that he was immediately selected for 1days after this .
Tendulkar failing with bat but chipping in with bowling , and Bhajjis magical bowling . There is so much in this match u can make a single video on everything from this match
Truer words have never been spoken.
I actually had to cut my original script by Half.
Only limiting it to that one specific Story.
And it genuinely pissed me off to do so.😢
@@cricketraazenglish hi, you can always make part1 ,2 and 3 of this video .
Trust me there was so much going on in this match actually tournament , Eden garden spinning track Shane warne bowling from around the wicket and Laxman comming out and flick him for a four .
Bowling of bhajji and Sachin on the last day .and of course warne nightmares of Sachin and his preparation for him , Laxman and David came out of slabus.haha
You couldn't have explained it better ..... Watched it live on tv...watta match 20 years memories juz flashing right in front of my eyes.... Thank You !!!
You just narrated this glorious series the way Morgan Freeman narrated in Shawshank Redemtion
Seeing this video with goosebumps and my eyes full of tears... Your narration 😍❤️
That's high compliments coming from you man.
If there are any suggestions/feedback by which i can make this videos better, would love to hear them.
@@cricketraazenglish ur vids r absolutely perfect bro. Keep it up!! Just love ur way of explaining things!😍
@@cricketraazenglish most of the people see Cricket with eyes.. but you see cricket with heart.. that replicates in every video of yours.. your in depth analysis of the emotional aspects blended with certain situational aspects really is a standout from the other Cricketing UA-cam Channels..
I really wish you continue the same.. I wish you get more visibility and fame.. you deserve it ❤️
whenever i watched any serious match either this test or 2003 world or 2011 world cup final, sachin never fight just bow their head and gone!
Steve Waugh’s Australia is to this day the most dominant test side to have ever played the game. They had won 16 test games consecutively - not draw, not undefeated in 16 games, they WON 16 test games consecutively. And an underdog Indian side somehow defeated this team by following on
after these iconic victories wonder how the team went on.. might have discovered a new level of attack.. however i trust that Indian team would not sink to the low standards of Aussies and revile a decent team for the sake of victory... the moral and ethical aspects are needed for true rejoicing
I get emotional every single time I watch it ❤️. It keeps me inspiring and give goosebumps at the end each time I watch it. Thank you explaining it very beautifully ❤️
memories of this test is quite vivid in my memory being a kid, Aussies were so desperate for a wicket that they have bowled everybody from ther xi other than gilly & steve. Next day all news papers had the pic of laxman & dravid on first page which was very rare those days.
It was a magical never say die action ...ruby memories of Indian cricket for ever
Best test in the history of INDIAN CRICKET or maybe world cricket..
if i ever get to choose any 1 channel on youtube that i wud love to associate with or if i m made to select only 1 channel to subscribe, it wud be your channel... 👏👏👏👏🙏. keeeeep uploading .. ur efforts can be seen in ur stories n videos
Dravid and Lakshman should be revered for their sacrifice.
- A fan of Sachin Tendulkar.
Two matches I can never forget - this one and the Desert Storm match where Sachin overcame Aussies in the middle of a literal desert storm where visibility was close to zero. I think you should do a video on the latter.
I am sure whatever I can comment up with, would have been done. My tribute to you is I subscribed to the channel and increased your likes. Cricket aside I started liking you as a person and hope all the best for career wherever it may lead you
Please do consider making a video on the exact story of azharuddin 🥺🥺🥺 Please
i hope this happen in 3rd test ind vs eng when pujara kholi save the match but it doesn't. Now players play for ad not for country 😔
Dravid just didnt backdown even when in jaws of death. Thats brave and in that time it was far worse than death.
This... does put some tears in my eyes. I was 6 years old then, still have some vivid memory of how my whole family was celebrating.
Express my gratitude for making this video. It was felt at soul level, eyes were filled with tears. These two legends, with rest of the team were incredible.
Start a membership, I’ll subscribe. Your narration is superior than any motivational video on UA-cam. I have seen all these matches but never have I ever been moved this much. You sir, are amazing at what you do!!
It's difficult to explain why this video moved me so much, but I'll try. In 2001, I was living in Australia as a recently migrated 13 year old - immersed in this anglosphere, a brown boy in a sea of white, forever drowning, pulled down by the colonial shackles of the inferiority complex that affects much of our diaspora. Every time the Indian Cricket Team played against Australia, it felt like a pull upwards, in the opposite direction. Now that I'm older I often trivialise sport and diminish it's relevance. But this tribute video made me realise the undeniable impact India's win in Kolkata had on me at that pivotal age. Reading the headlines in Australia about India's gallant stand - I held my head higher that day. Thanks for reviving a beautiful memory.
Gen Z will never know this. Everyone is wanting a bang bang 20 over match.
And fortunately, we again witnessed something like this in 2020-21 series but this time in Australia itself. Greatness of Indian cricket and these legends💯
Gabba ?
This video is for those who call certain players "selfish"
Your channel need to grow soon
Thank You to you Sir....to make such a knowledge sharing platform about CRICKET ❤️
Glad you liked it, planning on making more such content in future.
Laxman & Dravid true gentleman of cricket .. so simple & down to earth .. it is a magical win by 2 greats of Indian cricket ... Bowling of Sachin & Bajji in 4th innings is notable
Play at 1.25x playback... Thank me later
Truly an inspirational knock it was!
Thank you for sharing this story.....
Please keep sharing many more of these
We are those lucky 90s kids who saw this live... Those days .. I think at 3:30Pm DD2 opens up for live cricket.. Those were days when cricket was at its absolute sheen...
3 30 pm...😍
Every time in these situations a hyd player will play a great innings... Love from HYDERABAD
You should make a video on Laxman vs Australia
This should be a textbook match for the current Indian team complaining of fatigue after earning crores from IPL and touring the world with their wives and kids.
Hats off To VVS and Dravid. This match will and has gone down in history as one of the game-changing matches. Two of the best we jave seen❤️❤️❤️👍👍
Sachin never scored whenever India needed the most.
He did take 3 wickets in 2nd innings 😑
In the third test he scored a 100 i think india needed him in that match also
The way you narrate brings events back to life. I remember discussing this match with my friends during lunch...I was completely convinced that we would lose after following on. But the miracle happens...
Video on Gabba victory plzz
Uniqueness of this channel is the way of presentation. Simply Superb! Good Job!
May be it was meant to happen at the marquee eden gardens, in the city of joy, where people go to any extent to express their passio for their team. Be it football or cricket. Eden's then capacity of 1,10,000 also made it even more special
What many people don't know is umpire bansal of tony's greig's famous ending words " umpire bansal has given him ( mcgrath ) out, and the whole of bengal is on their feet" later left the stadium without even taking his identity card and was later stopped by the police. When he got out of his car for checking, police left him when he said his mere name only
Well, by the end of the match, his mere name became a legendary name
Even in ipl, eden gardens attracts the biggest crowds all over india
Another unbelievable, strange and yet real incident of this city is in the kuldeep yadav odi hattrick match vs australia in 2017, which took place in kolkata during the peak durga puja time, on that very day, even after being a durga puja day, the attendance for that odi was more than 32,000 I;e more than 50%
Long live passionate cricket and football supporters like bengalis
I didn't know about that Incident with tony grieg.
It actually brought a smile to my face.
Thanks for sharing My brother.
@@cricketraazenglish which incident. The ending words and the umpire bansal one? ❣❣❣❣❣❣❣❣❣❣❣❣❣
Hey man, what a surprisingly delightful set of videos. Superb storytelling and insight. Get yourself a Netflix show with a bigger budget and good graphics! ❤️
That's high compliment's man.
Don't know about netfix shows.
but I plan on doing this till I and everyone enjoys watching it.😊
@@cricketraazenglish yeah before you get bored of not making enough money on UA-cam, I'd encourage you to explore with OTT platforms. There's space and viewership for shows like these for sure. No harm pitching an idea. I have written for publications for over a decade and I have an eye for talent in storytelling.
Best wishes.
Can Sachin fans quote one single inning of him as great as these two played here with the circumstances of the match and their health? Dravid was more flexible, adjustable and great player.
He played his entire career after tennis elbow injury in 2003-04. He modified his technique still gave the best. And also he played like champ in critical situations. Indian cricket would have died in 1992-1996 just like current srilanka if sachin was not there . Don't compare legends.
@@chetansahu7696 I am not comparing Aldo not asked Sachin fans to quote the injuries he had rather to specify one inning. Once Saurav, Dravid and Laxman joined the team the pressure that he carried was tremendously reduced. After youngsters joined no pressure at all still he has not played any crucial inning like this one. So, don’t play around rather accept the fact and move on.
@@srikanths2741 Sure, 119 vs England ( 1990,Old Trafford) saved the Test. 169 vs SA( Capetown) India was 58/5 when he started battling but lost the match.136 Vs Pak , Chennai ,1999. India scored 250 ,again lost the match. These forgotten innings in dire circumstances could have bern cherished but rest of the team didn't support his efforts.
If you are talking about flexibility and adjustability , Tendulkar took three wickets in the second innings in this Test - Gilchrist, a set Hayden and Warne . Next Test he scored a century in Chennai sealing the series victory.
136 v Pakistan in Chennai against Pakistan who had Wasim Waqar saqlain etc. Chasing 275 india were 80 for 5. With bad back barely able to stand he was samshing all the bolwers and took the match within 17 runs. He got out and last 4 players couldn't even score 17. Had india won that would ve been Innings of all time. Laxman had dravid but in this game Sachin was almost all alone.
Even in the first test of that 2001 series india were all out for 170 out of which Sachin scored 70 odd and that was one of his best innings on a difficult pitch never got support again in the second innings dravid and Sachin had a good partnership but dravid got out caught off the short leg fielders helmet and after that everyone collapsed and no support for Sachin in the other end
Yaaar is channel k subscriber itne kum kyu?????
This was the only Test day i watched every single ball..That day is still so vividly clear..
There is lots of stories like this. We don't call legends just like. They sacrificed their life to the Indian Cricket. They are so serious to beat the the strong teams specially cheater from Australia. Because of them the Indian Cricket is shaped like this.
Watched the match live like a dream, watched the highlights again and again, watched the uncounted stories about it. We talk about those moments on lazy evenings. Still yours story is the best. Keep it up bro.
That's real high praise Man.
coming from someone who genuinely loves cricket as much as you do.
Id there are any criticisms or suggestions, I would love to hear them too.
With leading paceman Javagal Srinath ruled out of the series with a finger injury during the First Test, the teams met for the Second Test in Kolkata, with an even bigger burden on Harbhajan. Public opinion was sceptical about India's chances of stopping Australia's winning streak, with former captain Bishan Bedi lamenting the demise of Indian cricket. Australia were again in control on the first day, having scored 193/1, with Hayden having struck Harbhajan out of the attack. Harbhajan fought back to reduce Australia to 252/7, taking five wickets in the final session, including Ricky Ponting, Adam Gilchrist and Shane Warne in successive balls to become the first Indian to claim a Test hat-trick.After a prolonged wait for the third umpire to adjudicate whether Sadagoppan Ramesh had managed to catch Warne before the ball hit the ground, the near-capacity crowd at Eden Gardens erupted when he was given out.Harbhajan eventually finished with 7/123 as Australia were bowled out for 445. India batted poorly and were forced to follow-on. India seemed to be all but out of the match, and the series, but then came an epic 376-run partnership between V. V. S. Laxman and Rahul Dravid. The duo batted together for an entire day, allowing India to set Australia an imposing target of 384 to win on the final day. Australia appeared to be safely batting out the match for a draw, until losing 7/56 in the final session, collapsing from 166/3 to be bowled out for 212. Sachin LBWed three players and Harbhajan claimed four of the wickets, to finish with 6/73 for the innings and a match tally of 13/196. India ended Australia's 16-match world record winning streak, and became only the third team to win a Test after being forced to follow on with Australia having been the losing team on all three occasions.
I am amazed to see such good presentable video and has very less views in country who thinks cricket is religion. Keep posting videos also and endeavor.
Note. Please post videos on latest updates for more reach and views.
Thanks for the advice brother, and you are right.
I plan on switching gears once wtc starts.
till then this are like my small passion projects.😊
Just goosebumps man...!!A fan of yours watching your video at 2 am in the night,already knew each and every detail of the match,but still watched this video to hear your NARRATION, A MAGICAL NARRATION ❤️🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Thanks a lot for the praise Man, truly means a lot.
I'm still learning it as I go, hopefully can give you a improved video every step of the way.
This makes me teary😭 and proud
All my love used to be on Sourav, Sachin, VVS Laxman, R.Dravid, A Jadeja, R Singh, V Kambli, A Kumble, A Agarkar, V Prasad, D Mohanty. I came to know Sachin also wantedly used to not perform sometimes under A z har captaincy. While there are many reasons why I hate Sachin is selfishness, he got chances despite slump in form that none others got such an exception and he used to relax (leaving about 100s scored apart), no proper fire when matches or series lost, no fire in worldcups and not winning WC1996, failing against Aus 0(2) in 1999 WC and hat too against McGrath and same 4(3) in 2003WC Vs Aus on same McGrath this time he hit a 4 that's it. Not as competent as Lara scored records in Tests and never had 200s on ENG, SL, RSA, PAK and if on Pak he was stopped on 194* when Viru made a 309 this is where my extreme hate towards Dravid actually started too. Apart from these reasons I like Sachin also, and also hates him for one more reason for Ind touring Windies in 2002 and had 5-0 whitewash Sachin responsible and only in last match last innings making an unworthy 86 and scoring 3 ducks in a row includes a golden. Other reason to hate Dravid is he showed his attitude and unworn a helmet and played against AUS towards supposedly innings closure while Ind dominating that Test making 91* retired hurt due to the Brett Lee's ball smashing his unprotected ear missing a 100 on the egoistic AUS fellows. Sourav I hate for few reasons only.....not allowing too many chances for VVS Laxman and encouraging matchfixer A z har, not allowing too much for Vinod Kambli towards his end of career, for including Nayan Mongia always and poor at selecting wicketkeeper batsmen till before 2003, he didn't have another ODI 100 Vs AUS except that 100 out for once, missing an odi 100 on strong Windies and main reason comes hatred is apart from sidelining VVS Laxman, he never encouraged Hemang Badani and allowed the scrap fellow Dinesh Mongia. One more hatred is Connor Williams was never called back after he made a 1 Test match 8&42 vs strong AUS while encouraging impotent SS Das instead. Apart from these there are many reasons I love all the players till before Yuvi, Sehwag arrived. Post 2003WC my loving players are everyone till before the current fellows cameup.
Just 6 yrs old at that time, didn't know the rules of test cricket as such.. But What a match, what a comeback.. After a few years, got to know the situation of many players who played that match..
Sigma Rule 281 and 270
