Brian Lara 400 Runs3/25/2021
This moment definitely gets into the book of top 10 cricket actions and moments ever.There is no one more picture perfect in cricketing batting technique than the Indian wall.Even though there are cracks on this wall in recent past but no one can deny the quality and ability of this man.Even after ages of cricket whenever any one will talk about a perfect flawless batting action the first image that will pop up will be of the Wall.
Some experts criticized it as an emotional outburst of a captains vengeance but for 1 billion Indians this was a symbol of changing attitude of Indian cricketers. This is one of the most unforgettable cricketing moment for me when i saw for the first time in my life an Indian captain showing aggression, giving it back to the rowdy arrogant English cricketers in their own language. This match was not just another victory but beginning of an era where young Indian cricketers under the leadership of most determined and aggressive Indian captain started answering back the Aussies and the Britishers in their own language not just verbally but through their performance. No Indian can forget this moment and i am sure not even Andrew Flintoff. There is a tough competition to decide who is the best fielder in the world but it is undeniable that if in the history of cricket there is one name which is undoubtedly unmatchable then it is Jonty Rhodes. No cricket lover can forget this super man act run out of Jonty Rhodes. The only cricketer ever who was given man of the match for a fielding performance when he became a part of 6 dismissals. The greatness of this batsman can be identified just from a simple fact that he is the only batsman of this era who could be compared with The God of Cricket Sachin Tendulkar. Definitely one of the best batsman in test cricket who created a world record for maximum runs in test cricket. He held the record for almost a decade when Mathew Hayden broke it. The great man couldnt take it and even in days when he wasnt in best of his career he did what no one has ever done. He again broke the record of Hayden and became the first and only batsman to score 400 runs in a Test Match. This match definitely gets the highest TRPs and highest heart failures;). This is considerably the biggest rivalry in the game of cricket. A game which is beyond just a game, a matter of pride, a matter of vengeance and a matter of almost a world war. Always a power packed event with on field drama that adds to cricket. No matter how many times the players have sledged, how many times they had been involved in fights, this event when Javed Miadad started jumping like a jack ass will always be remembered by the cricket followers. Before i can say anything about him just one question can any one else in this world who claim that chucking gave extra help to murli, take half the wickets this guy managed I am a cricketer and i know even if i chuck completely i cant because it takes more than just action to be someone like murli. He has fire in his belly, superb control and a will to fight for a nation which was once considered as a weak, minnow cricketing nation that later won a world cup in style. The feat of taking 800 wickets in Test Match by this legend was definitely once a lifetime cricket moment.
