Adam Gilchrist endured an uncharacteristically poor outing in the slips, spilling a couple of regulation chances at first slip. Earlier, he had played a superb hand of 77, an innings that ultimately proved match-winning. With Ian Healy keeping wickets in the XI, Gilchrist was stationed in the slips rather... show more

“First-innings dismissal was dodgy, there was no third umpire. The second-innings dismissal was absolutely plumb. Tendulkar set a trap for me, and I fell for it.” ~ Adam Gilchrist on his dismissals in the famous Kolkata Test, the match that featured VVS Laxman’s greatest innings of 281 and the best Test he was ever part of.

Despite being regarded as one of the finest fielders of his era, Azharuddin had his share of costly lapses in the field. In this match, he put down two of the simplest chances imaginable, with many attributing the errors to difficult visibility under the floodlights, which made judging the ball challenging at night. He was also guilty of dropping Saeed Anwar in the second innings of the 1999 Kolkata Test when the batter was still in single figures. Anwar made India pay, finishing unbeaten on 188 and guiding Pakistan to a memorable victory.

Ouch!! Just prior to stumps on this day 35 years ago, poor old Ian Healy copped a nasty one whilst keeping wicket to Greg Matthews Enter the great Errol Alcott. Was there a physio in the history of the game with a greater presence than Errol and his magic spray? 😆😆

Fastest Double Hundred #OnThisDay in 2002, Adam Gilchrist smashed a double hundred in just 212 balls (19 fours, 8 sixes) against South Africa in Johannesburg. A few weeks later his record was broken by New Zealand's Nathan Astle. When he was on 169, Adam Gilchrist tried to scoop a length ball towards an advertising hoarding that offered a bar of gold to anyone who hit it. The shot almost came off, but he missed the target by just a few feet.

Happy Birthday, Graeme Swann! If I had to pick one cricketer who made the maximum impact in a short span, Swann would be right up there. From debuting in 2000 to vanishing into oblivion for eight years, his story seemed like one of lost potential; until he stormed back at 30 & owned world cricket with his mesmerizing action, sharp turn & supreme confidence... Between 2009 & 2013, no bowler picked up more Test wickets than him; 247 scalps in just 58 matches. His golden run perfectly aligned with England’s rise, playing a crucial role in two Ashes wins, including the historic 3-1 triumph in Australia & a rare series victory in India... But he wasn’t just a bowler; he was an entertainer. With 1,220 runs at No. 9 & below, with 24.4 average & 79.6 strike rate, he could wield the bat with surprising authority... In ODIs during this same period of five years, he picked up 86 wickets at economy of 4.5, while in T20Is, he claimed 46 wickets in 36 matches at economy of 6.33. He was also England’s highest wicket-taker in their T20 World Cup-winning campaign in 2010. A spinner who played like a rockstar, bowled like an artist, and celebrated like a fan. Cheers to one of England’s finest match-winners...

When Pakistan destroyed Australia after managing to score just 184 runs. In the first game of tri series in 2000, at the Gabba, Australia cruising at 76/1 thanks to a brisk stand between Ricky Ponting and Adam Gilchrist, Shoaib turned the game in a single over. First, he dismissed Ponting with a sharp leg-cutter edged to slip, then trapped Steve Waugh lbw with a fiery off-cutter on the very next ball. Roared on by the crowd, Shoaib’s spell of pace and aggression set the tone for a stunning collapse. Abdur Razzaq then ripped through the middle order with 4/23, removing Damien Martyn, Andrew Symonds and Brett Lee in a devastating burst as Australia lost five wickets for just seven runs. Waqar Younis finished the job, bowling Australia out for 139 despite resistance from Michael Bevan.

Bradman never missed a Tendulkar innings in last five years (and his Dream XI) Sir Donald Bradman was first impressed by Sachin Tendulkar during a 1996 World Cup match against Australia, as revealed in the book Bradman’s Best. “Australia won (that match) but not before a stunning 90 from Tendulkar that captured the Don’s attention,” the book says in the chapter The Star of India. Authored by Roland Perry, the book became a bestseller soon after release. “He was most taken in by Tendulkar’s technique, compactness and his shot production and had asked his wife to have a look at the Indian as he felt that Tendulkar played like he had. Jessie agreed that they appeared similar. “Bradman never missed a chance to see Tendulkar from then until the end of the 1999 three-match Test series in Australia,” the book says. On their meeting: “Tendulkar asked Bradman how he prepared himself before a big match. Bradman replied that when he was in Adelaide he would go to his job as a sharebroker for several hours before going to the ground.” From a pool of 69 players, Bradman selected his Dream XI, which included Sunil Gavaskar, Kapil Dev, and Tendulkar. Bradman’s Dream XI: Barry Richards, Arthur Morris, Don Bradman, Sachin Tendulkar, Gary Sobers, Don Tallon, Ray Lindwall, Dennis Lillee, Alec Bedser, Bill O’Reilly, Clarrie Grimmett, Wally Hammond.

On the very first ball after the break, he was caught out on 96, just four runs short of a Century 😭 The temperature in Jamshedpur soared to an exhausting 44°C. Because he was batting for a long time in the punishing heat and also had to keep wickets in the second innings Dhoni placed an ice bag inside his shirt to prevent dehydration and severe cramps.

When Australia ended West Indies’ 15-year dominance. #OnThisDay in 1995, Australia became the first side in 15 years to defeat West Indies in a Test series - a moment that marked a seismic shift in world cricket. The Australian players celebrated the historic triumph late into the night, but for Steve Waugh, the emotion ran deeper. He famously went to sleep still wearing his whites, socks, and baggy green cap - a reflection of just how much the victory meant to him. That win in Jamaica wasn’t just a series result; it signalled the beginning of a new era for Australian cricket. It was also a defining chapter in Waugh’s career, as his resilience and match-winning 200 became one of the cornerstones of his enduring legacy.

“Better than winning the lotto” In 2019 as our club stood on the brink of winning a first senior championship in 41 years, Dermot Kerr kindly agreed to help with a piece of filming ahead of the match. It wasn’t his thing, but he was happy to help. He died today. A lovely man, head of one of the pillar families in our town. We won the match that day, he was super proud of his two grandsons, and all his fine family. We’ve all lost a piece of Magherafelt. Thoughts with all the Kerr clan❤️

The Indian coach of AB DEVILLIERS said that Sachin Tendulkar had flaws in his ODI career 😭😭 His only flaws were that he played more than 60 ODIs with the red ball in the 90s and had to share the dressing room with a bunch of match-fixers from that era.

I thought Juice Scruggs (#70) had a nice showing in his first preseason action at Center for the Lions. Was sturdy and played with a good base in the run game & pass protection. Like him better on Gap and Duo run concepts where he can use his size rather than on zone runs.

Lara v Warne - An intense battle Brian Lara walked in with the score at 43/2, and by the time he departed, the West Indies had taken control of the match. His innings unfolded like a masterpiece: the first fifty came in two hours, the next in little over an hour, before he launched a stunning assault on Shane Warne, smashing 26 runs off just 14 balls in a breathtaking finish.
