Counter-attacking Aravinda De Silva 92 with 2 massive 6s vs Brett Lee 4x9 6x4
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 сер 2020
- Another 300+ chase and Sri Lanka were 4 down for less than 50. Champion Man Aravinda De Silva was once again the Lone Ranger who played brilliantly against the formidable Australian attack who went on to conquer the world. Aravinda De Silva pulled and flicked Brett Lee for two huge sixes to go with another couple against Andy Bichel and Brad Hodge.
Aravinda Silva is the number one batsman Sri Lanka has ever produced. Those who have seen him play live will testify to that
DeSilva was more stylish and had more variety of shots. But statistically speaking, Sangakkara had more incredible figures.
Agree with you. What a wonderful player
@@AbhishekSharma-fz3fh sanath jayasuriya waz a good batsman for Sri linka watch hez cricket batsman waz dangerous batsman in cricket
In the age of UA-cam, watching live isn't necessary. Video is there to be seen, a cricket expert can easily identify who had talent and who didn't
Sangakkara had made runs after bowling standards dipped. Aravindas greatness does not need statistical covering. I have seen aravinda playing late cut to Waqar in 1998. Thats enough for me to proclaim that Aravinda as the greatest sri lankan batsman ever. No contest..@@AbhishekSharma-fz3fh
Nobody in this world can replace this legend ... Absolute master class 👍👍👍
Certainly .
That flick off Brett Lee, was amongst the best cricket shots of all time.
Yes... effortless and perfect timing
Agree 🥶
So was the six over long on off the back foot
Legend..respect from india..he is one of the greatest..
Those who saw him
He is sri lanka people
Yes
Tks a lot s. Jai
Yes great respect I hold for his batting 🙏🏻🙏🏻
This guy was insanely gifted. Even at this late stage of his career he treated the fast-bowlers like slow-medium trundlers. It's like watching a man playing a bunch of school boys.
Yeah but it was a meaningless innings. He went in at 2 for 46 chasing 319 and departed at 8 for 203 off 44.1, needing 116 more to win off 35 balls. Not far past the halfway point of his innings it was 5 for 138, needing 181 off 15 overs with all other specialist batsmen gone. Vintage Aravinda stroke play it may have been in theory, but this innings at no stage had any bearing whatsoever on the outcome of the match.
@Sasindu Madushanka Something amusing?
@@Bernie8330 😅
@@palehorse1234 You're a complete goose mate.
@@Bernie8330 Given we are still admiring the innings over 20 years later, it's clearly not meaningless.
Aravinda De Silva is an underrated batsman. My dad loved to see him on the ground so much. Sri Lanka rarely toured New Zealand back then. But he watched every game they played in New Zealand. 90's cricket was the best. Too much talent. No any leagues or money based players. Sometimes there was aggression between players. But it was very entertaining to watch unlike modern rivalries. I didn't watch em live. But I've watched many 90's matches via YT. Those leagues kill the spirit of this lovely game. Ahh at least I enjoyed this game when it wasn't just a game. Love those vintage batsmen like Aravinda de Silva, Sanath Jayasuriya,Sachin Tendulkar, Javed Miendad,Brian Lara, Viv Richards,Rickey Ponting, Waugh, Rhodes and Fleming
LEGENDARY CRICKETER OF SRI LANKA & WORLD CRICKET. HOW CAN I FORGET ARVIND SIR'S GREAT INNING IN 1996 WORLD CUP SEMIFINAL Vs INDIA & FINAL Vs AUSTRALIA. I AM LUCKY THAT I HAVE SEEN THIS GREAT PLAYER'S MANY INNING IN ODI & TEST MATCHES. ARVIND SIR I SALUTE YOU. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
There are no happy memories of 1996 SF for me.
omg how old you that time 😳
@@mayankdobhal4064 THAT TIME I WAS 13 YEARS OLD.
@@RaviChaudhary-xx2bg oh nice now your age
@@mayankdobhal4064 NOW I AM 39 YEARS OLD.
One of my favorite Sri Lankan cricketers. He's very underrated even today. His pulls and hucks look awesome. De Silva, Jayasurya, Sanga. I like them in that order. De Silva's numbers don't justify his talent. Love from 🇮🇳
I was at that game! Aravinda played so well that day. That flick off his legs went right over my head
The commentator says "That's one of the great shots, you will ever see....." Todate, I have not seen anything better ❤ #Madmax at his best ❤
Absolutely! Most enthralling batsman from SL.
That's Richie Benaud. And he doesn't give that sort of compliment without thinking
@@breakdown461 yeah. Never wastes words. One of the best commentators
I agree. But it was played before. I remember Sachin playing similar shot of Atul-Ur-rahman which went for six in this video, ua-cam.com/video/tOHQ3mKuydc/v-deo.html , watch from 2.20-2.24. But in this case, one from Arvinda is against one of the fastest bowler in the world
I think Aravinda is an extraordinary batsman. Present time batsmen in cricket world have to learn a variety of super class shots from Aaravinda. Look at the pace, look at the timing, look at the power he applies, look at how he navigates the direction of his shot, look how class and smart he uses the pace of the ball. Every shot super genius. Nowadays i see lots of smash hitters , but not this class, this is way beyond the hope. This is too rare , you can buy whatever u want with money ,but not a chance to see this style of extraordinary batting .my god,its the ultimate class of batting ❤️❤️🙏
In my personal view he was the best Sri Lankan batsman I have seen. I remember watching him in the 90s and that era was something special. Today cricket has lot that charm.
Totally agree with you.
Sanath Mahela and Sanga all agreed on one thing, he was the best batsman SL produced...the guy never took Cricket too seriously he was doing business and it was half hearted. We can imagine if he played full on in modern era with all the money and huge number of matches players gets. There will never be another Aravinda
Yes I used to see every match in live situation between 2003 to 2008 but due to ipl, I m not watching every match even of indian Match..just check the score on cricbuzz dats it
What makes Aravinda so special is that cricket was just a hobby to him. Guy was notorious for not taking the game seriously UNLESS its the day before a final or an elimination game. Then he Is up doing bat drills non stop for hours. This is why "Madmax" is so appropriate for him. The average DOES NOT TELL THE WHOLE STORY OF ARAVINDA..
Aravinda gave us a respectable lost on that day and I still remember for the first time Brett Lee's head was down after the sixers.
Even in semifinal his runout spoil srilanka's chance.
All time fav batsman:
Sachin Tendulkar
Saeed Anwar
Arvinda D'Silva
Mark Waugh
Brian Lara
King of 90's
What a class elegance choices of yours.appreciated

True. The entertainers of that era
Greatest batsman SL ever produce❤️
Sachin may have reminded Don Bradman of himself but this guy reminds everyone of Viv. And to me, that's just a higher grade of compliment!
the highest respect for any cricketer is to compare him with don bradman not viv richards.
no cricketer in his dream could come close to the unbelievable average of 99.94 of bradman.
how can u compare bradman with richard.bradman is incomparable.
@@gauravpandey9781 don Bradman didnt play against all nations don bradman didnt play 100 test . If he ever play more test against different countries his average wil be around 60-70 which is huge but not 99 thats a fact
@@Dream11KaBoss you forget about horrible uneven bounce in pitches at bradman's time and no helmets and gaurds to protect the batsman.
and also in bradman's time no player had average above 60 or 65.so 99.94 average at any era of cricket is incomparable.
@@Dream11KaBoss and also in bradman's time no player had average above 60 or 65 in 50+ matches so 99.94 average at any era of cricket is incomparable.
I had tears when he was bashing Indian bowlers in the semi final 1996 WC. But then I realised that he is one of the greatest batsmen of my era.
So Proud of the fact that he was a product from my school. National treasure

‘That was one of the great shots you will ever see. It was a ripper’ - Richie Bernard
‘ Brett Lee’s being smashed all over Centurian’ - Tony Greg
‘144 case an hour down the pitch but 177 back the other way’- Danni Morrison
(No batsman on earth could salvage the fasted baller like this but great Aravinda - Bravest batsman ever)
Viv Richards also hit genuine fast bowlers over mid on or mid off for six. Not many others.
‘144 case an hour down the pitch but 177 back the other way' - Ian Healey
Very lucky to see his 50 against India in semi final and 100 vs Australia in final at famous 1996 world cup played at Subcontinent. Those two innings are so majestic and special that easily those innings are one of the best innings that has ever played in Odis. Hats of Genius.
Undoubtedly the greatest batsman in Sri Lankan cricket. What timing and what beautiful strokeplay. He's an absolute treat to watch.
When someone who has seen everything cricket had to offer from Don Bradman to Virat Kohli says "that's one of the greatest shots you'll see" you gotta trust his words..
Support ekak tibbanam eda match eka goda danawa aravinda sure tama
Maybe arvianda would be surprised to for this shot he had just played
I saw him batting since 92
But never saw such shot he ever played
With all due respect to Sanath Jayasuriya, I would say, 'The Mad Max ' is the greatest batsman ever produced by Srilanka.. Respect the legend.. ❤from India
The two 6's of Brett Lee look so effortless 🙏
@@LakpriyaKottahachchi I totally agree. Arvind de Silva is the best sri lanka has ever produced. Sorry I haven't seen d mendis playing. Class=arvind, fear=jaisuriya

Absolutely fabulous.
❤️ ♥️ ❤️
ABHISEK SINGH Arjuna Ranatunga was also one of the best SL has produced so far !
Brett looks like a kid...
One of the very best without a shade of doubt.
He was probably the best batsman of that era.
Lara was but De Silva wasn't far behind
@@sugs1191 Aravinda was single handedly with bat and ball winning world cup semis and finals. Aravinda is certainly the #1 under pressure batsmen of his era. No doubts about that at all. You want to go to war from a equal position you take Lara and Tendulkar. You want to go to war with your back against the wall? Aravinda..
I can’t admire Aravinda enough! Ever since he smacked a boundary laden 60 odd walking in at 0/2 at the Eden Gardens semifinal of the 96 WC (even though it was against India!). He takes on the best Aussie bowlers to the cleaners here - and oh that flick off the hips! What a champion!
Don't consider us Indians any lesser than Australians, we hv time n again we are the best Asian team
Nah not considering any bowlers better or lesser man. I’d meant from the perspective of me being an Indian dude and yet obviously admiring Aravindas magnificent skill despite it being against Ind in the 96 semis.
Aravinda Di silva was a great batsman who can single handedly win matches.
Big Aravinda from little SriLanka..The best cricketer..
Golden Era
What a Superb Player
Love and Respect from India 😍
A very decent, professional n perfect batsman Arvinda was.
Huge respect from Pakistan 🇵🇰
The way Prime Australian team in 2003 celebrated Aravinda's wicket in the Semi Final of Cricket World Cup 2003 depicts what kind of a player Aravinda is💪His run out was the turning point of thet match😭
Classic+Daring+Extraordinary= Arvinda Di Silva 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Huge respect for the Gentleman....

Aravinda De Silva is one of the Greatest stroke makers the game has ever seen.
Aravinda de Silva had a special talent of reading the length of the ball very early.. even sachin could not read so early.. aravinda legend
Technically, Aravinda is in the top 5 greatest batsmen.
Aravinda De Silva is a step ahead of even Sachin Tendulkar when it comes to raw talent and pure vintage! The mythical Blue Lion produced by Sri Lanka to world cricket is Aravinda De Silva.💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚!
Sachin is more talented.
👌
Why do you compare the players.
Sanga wasn't the same force until 2004
He really blossomed since 2008 when cricket and batting became easier...
Still his record till 2014 in England wasn't great... Saf even...
Hence Aravinda for me is the greatest Sri Lankan batter ever.... By far
There is Aravinda at #1 and then there is everyone else. Skill, class, technique, audacious strokepkay - no one comes close.
True
True
Absolutely agree with you
Arvinda was a complete batsman and during his tenure he was regarded as one of the best and was in leauge of extraordinary batsman like sachin, lara, saeed anwar and mark waugh... These 5 we're considered best batsman in world that time...
Seems like Silva was playing againnst street cricket team...but reality is that .....that Australian team was the greatest cricket team of th game....may b thz combination will never b repeated in any cricket any team
@That SriLankanGuy no..this one is best
2003 was best as all the top players were in peak..Hayden Gilchrist ponting McGrath Gillespie and so on...they were like bulldozers.. demolished every opponents
One of my all time favorite stroke makers
Aravinda de silva.
One of the best lankan batsman... Respect to the legendary Arvinda Sir...
One of the greatest batsman, like Viv Richards he shone in critical matches . He had a temperament for big matches which Tendulkar sometimes lacked.
The guy had balls of steel for the big occasion... He relished the challenge and it brought the best out of him!
He was a brave bataman. I will rank him front of jaysurya, mahela
I think he is the best batsman sri lanka ever produce even better than sanga
@@dla6545 tough but accepted
Absolutely the best sri lanka ever produced....better than sanga
Right
The best ever lankan batsman... Better than jayasuria, mahela and sanga...
Aravinda De Silva is the best in the history of cricket but unfortunate bcoz those days ICC wont give many matches to srilanka. Miss u Legend !!!
Aravinda with his cool attitude and fantastic batting skill will remain in the heart of World cricket lover. After Tendulkar and Inzamam ul Haq it was Aravinda Desilva who played most of the match turning innings as mainstream batsmen among the Asian countries even among the world .He is a unforgettable player of Sri Lanka cricket.
Inzamam??? Do not compare him to De Silva. And whilst I respect Sachin, De Silva played more match winning innings in the 90s imo. De Silva and Sanath wud win games singlehandedly.
So which are the match winning innings that Sachin played, other than the two in Sharjah against Australia.
India played a million times in Sharjah in the 1990s against Pakistan and hardly ever won. Ever remember Tendulkar winning a game with the bat?
The mark of a true champion is to do it when the stakes are high.
Will always be my favourite batsman alongside king viv, what a player mad max was
When the chips/chaps were down and pressure was on Aravinda D'silva would come into form.
A legend.
Wishing Sir Aravinda the best in his retired life from cricket.
Such a great player. He is undoubtedly in the same league as the greatest batsmen of all time.
what a player. batting like this in final stage if his career is amazing. that too against thw best attack in world
This Srilankan legend is so under rated.People dont talk about him in the league of Ponting Sachin kallis.Look dhoni have retired and the whole media is crying.Shame ICC is so biased towards India and Australia players it makes me sick.
@@differentworld1646 so true. I am from India but I really admire Aravinda de Silva and Arjuna Ranatunga
@@differentworld1646 its becoz Aus n Ind hv dominated cricket mostly all over world, same cannot be said about ur team SL who are only good in Asian countries , it was just in the WC 2007 they did well away from Asia that too becoz Pak n Ind had tough time that WC.Here in 2003 wc, they were lucky to reach semis.99 wc we blasted SL away in Eng.

Best batsman Sri Lanka has produced since Sathasivam.
Top batsman pleasure to watch. One of the best the Indian subcontinent has produced. Gavaskar, Arvinda, Sachin, Miandad, Zaheer, Rahul, Sangakara, Jayewardana and there are a few more like Saleem Malik, Inzi, Laxman, Jayasuria & many more.
❤️ his batting. Probably a nightmare for bowlers at that era.
Aravinda had the gift of extra time to hit the ball.
Rohit Sharma reminds us Aravinda when ever he bats.

Mentioning that chutiya Rohit is an insult to Aravinda
@@sapandesai1730 Exactly
Aravinda is miles better then rohit in every way
I dont think millennial Indians will agree
I thought Sanga is the greatest Lankan batsmen ever. Than my brother told me that it's De'silva the greatest lankan batsman ever. Now I agree with him. ❤️ and respect from 🇧🇩
The reason why I admire arvinda desilva so much was that the time he joined srilanka they hardly played any international cricket and when they did it was him taking the responsibility of while mediocre team , it was only after 1995 and 96 WC when Sri Lanka was taken as cricketing giant and they started to get more matches internationally, their test matches were almost non existent in 80s , so keeping these things in mind he has achieved so much , had they played more he would have been among the very very best , still for me he is the best batsman Sri Lanka ever produced
De silva was an unsung hero during Michael Bevan time.
Dude .. c’mon .. he was the Sachin of Srilanka.. don’t know why you are telling he was an unsung hero. His Century in 1996 World Cup final was the best and most unforgettable innings in any World Cup finals.
Michael beven is nowhere close to the quality of aravinda de silva
The best middle order batsman Srilanka ever had..Legendary live eternally
Not just middle order .. the best batsman
Legend perfect player to get ICC hall of Fame award
Arvind de Silva is my best srilankan batsman.... He was furious when he was at his best...
2:44 Helicopter Shot ♥️
Inventer of helicopter shot
That's not helicopter shot
no. that's not a bullshit helicopter .
I don’t know why he didn't include ICC hall of fame Sachin, Sangakkara, Mahela are included. But this legendry Aravinda de Silva class ahead of them. Not only in the bat he is awesome spinner too , he is also an all-rounder.
It happened yesterday
@@adamdavid7984 yeah finally ICC understood and award him
Simply unstoppable. He remained "not out" for most of innings. A gifted player who can either swiftly play with wrists or hit hard...
He was a Nightmare for any bowler....
Bow this legend... I still see him as my idol...
One excellent character trait I see in Aravinda is he never stays in the wicket for the umpire’s decision if he knows he is out. He just walks away. That’s sportsmanship.
Also a very good off spin bowler who would assist the team in difficult moments.
He plays the shots very late. Great player! ❤
Wonderful team Sri Lanka, i visited de අරවින්ද ද සිල්වා. Aravinda de silvas own restaurant at sri Lanka 2018 respect from India
Damn this guy was good - the wrists were so strong 💥
One of the fantastic batsman the game has witnessed. His six through Square Leg against Bret Lee and Sachin's hook against Andrew Caddick are among the best. ( Both in the same tournament - 2003 World Cup)

Well, very few of you have heard of a great sri lankan batsman by the name of Mahadevan Sathasivam better known as SATHA who played for ceylon in the 1940's through the 60's...sir Garry sobers said that satha was the greatest batsman on earth and sir frank worell said that satha was the greatest batsman he had ever seen.....satha played for Ceylon thats how srilanka was known before..Satha captained ceylon and later left ceylon and captained Malaysia and Singapore .....he probably is the only cricketer to captain the national cricket teams of 3 countries.
I am from India. I used to love to see Arvinda play. That lazy elegance should not be confused with fitness.
Professional cricketers will tell you how hard it was hitting sixes to PRIME Brett Lee on OLD BALL.
There are lot of similarities with him and Rohit Sharma.
They are both INTPs. So was Brian Lara. Sachin is an ISTP.
True legend. The way he batted at middle order no one can match to him. Respected always
He was said to be one of the greatest players of the hook shot.

What a decent magnificient player he was..pure batsman
As an indian, my childhood is full of Aravinda precision and Jayasuriya attacking batting...even though I hated them when they were thrashing Indian bowlers :) ...I loved seeing them thrashing other countries...
He was the best stroke player in cricket, even better than some of the masters of the game. That even was tending towards downfall in the early part of his career, he was trying too many shots before getting set in his innings. In the later part of his career, he corrected that and was so successful and looked brutal to watch
De Silva and Jayawardena were probably the most naturally gifted batsmen SL ever produced
Highly underrated batsman….had a nimble and correct footwork against fast bowling…fearless and calculative in approach.
I remember, the 1st test match against India 1985 in Sri Lanka… Aravinda was young and an attacking batsman… Sri Lanka needed 123 to win with about 15 overs left in the match…came opening the innings and belted sixes and fours against Kapil’s bowling. Sri Lanka fell short of winning their first test match eventually.
2nd test, 2nd innings - Aravinda belted Indian bowling to every corner of the ground for a quick fire 75…helped declare early and Sri Lanka won their first test match by 149 runs.
In 90s when Srilanka was in peak, Aravinda Desilva was the backbone of batting order. It was very difficult to get him out.
Hero and true fighter of Srilankan cricket. Single handedly won many matches. Respect from India!!
Aravinda D'silva was such a Stylish player to watch,,, Respect from India
His pulling was outrageous. When Imran came back after a stress fracture injury in 1985, its Aravindas first series I think and in Pakistan. He hammered Imran for 6 with multiple outrageous pull shots. An absolute legend.
Brilliant.
Even in semi final he wants to win. But due to foolish calling for single by stupid sanga, got run out
Yes We cried on that day
Greatest batsman Sri Lanka has ever produced!!!
If only he had not got run out! With his skill and form, he would have won the game for his team.
Stupid rain also

I'm not a fan of Srilankan players but this man was pure class. I wish he scored a century in his last match.
How can you not be a fan of SL players from that era. They made the fame exciting!
He won the 1996 world Cup final with a not out batsmen againt mighty Australian team and changed. The srilankan cricket to next level
I always thought he was on par with Brian Lara and Viv Richards. What ever it is , he was an under rated player. I found him marginally better than Sachin. I am Indian though and very much admire Sachin.

One of the best batsmen ever!
Asia cup tournaments played between 1990 - 2000 were a treat to watch. We had a radio in electrical lab, we used to run during school intervals to hear scores from it. It used be very thrilling. India, pakistan, srilanka, Australia, Kenya, Zimbabwe, west indies were pretty strong teams.
Watched the match live on 📺. Best batsman ever produced by 🇱🇰. As per the memory, this was his final ODI inning. Sadly, #sri_lanka_cricket misses players like him today.
Legendary master class batsman "Arvindra De Silva" hats off to you master🏏🏆👏🏏🏆👏
Loved his playing and characteristics on and off field. He is a living legend.
That six off Lee, on the back foot was absolute master class. For me he is the best batsman ever produced by Asia, who excelled on faster overseas tracks as we.
No team challenged this Ausies team especially during 2003 world cup....what a team .
