Being a great fielder, he was rightly awarded the ‘Best Fielder Award’ by BCCI.  He owns the record for the most number of catches taken in T20 in the year 2012.

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <h1 style="border: 0px; color: #707070; font-family: 'Noto Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 30px; line-height: 1.2; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> Ian Bell Run Out Controversy – England vs India, Second Test match, Day 3 (31/07//2009)</h1> <div style="border: 0px; color: #707070; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> The controversial run-out of England’s Ian Bell at the stroke of tea on the third day of the second Test match between England and India at Trent Bridge, which threatened to take shape of one of the biggest controversies in contemporary Cricket, was overturned during the tea interval after MS Dhoni withdrew the appeal at the behest of Andrew Strauss, then England captain, and England coach Andy Flower.</div> <div style="border: 0px; color: #707070; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> The incident happened in following manner – Ian Bell smashes a shot to the boundary and is stopped on the rope by Praveen Kumar. Bell, thinking that he’d got a four, walks down the wicket towards waiting Eoin Morgan thinking tea had been called and was stumped by wicket-keeper MS Dhoni.</div> <div style="border: 0px; color: #707070; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> After the players had gone in for tea, the Indian team came out to a bombardment of booes from the crowd, which soon turned to cheers when Bell walked out alongside Morgan to return to the crease.</div> <div style="border: 0px; color: #707070; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> This was a big talking point, due to the fact that by the letter of the law India had done nothing wrong, but then questioned their sportsmanship and in the end huge respect has to be shown to Dhoni for reversing the decision.</div> <div style="border: 0px; color: #707070; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> Here’s what the LAW 27 (8) for withdrawal of appeal reckons:</div> <div style="border: 0px; color: #707070; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> “The captain of the fielding side may withdraw an appeal only if he obtains the consent of the umpire within whose jurisdiction the appeal falls. He must do so before the outgoing batsman has left the field of play. If such consent is given, the umpire concerned shall, if applicable, revoke his decision and recall the batsman. The umpire may alter his decision provided that such alteration is made promptly.

Gary Sobers’ six sixes in an over

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <div style="border: 0px; color: #707070; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> Born in Bridgetown, Barbados, Sir Garfield a.k.a Gary Sobers made history when he became the first cricketer to his six sixes in first-class cricket in 1968. Originally Sobers started his career mainly as a bowler but, he was soon promoted up the batting order in West Indies team of 1950s. Against Pakistan in 1958, Sobers scored his maiden Test century, progressing to 365 not out and establishing a new record for the highest individual score in an innings, which was not broken until Brian Lara scored 375 in 1994.</div> <div style="border: 0px; color: #707070; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> Garry Sobers not only made a significant mark on cricket history with his mammoth 365 but also went into cricketing folklore as the man who first achieved the unthinkable – six sixes in an over.</div> <div style="border: 0px; color: #707070; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> The 1968 season was nearing its conclusion when Nottinghamshire, captained by Sobers, travelled to St Helen’s in Swansea to play against Glamorgan. The home side were second in the league to Yorkshire, with Nottinghamshire back in fifth. But a victory for the visitors would lift them into fourth and win Sobers a bet and a case of champagne.</div> <div style="border: 0px; color: #707070; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> Nottinghamshire won the toss and batted, making reasonable progress in the first innings. At 308 for 5, Sobers decided that quick runs were needed for a declaration that would allow his bowlers a crack at the Glamorgan top order before the close.</div> <div style="border: 0px; color: #707070; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> Runs came quickly, and then Sobers took to Glamorgan bowlers. The victim was Malcolm Nash, a 23-year-old left-arm seamer who was experimenting with spin bowling.</div> <div style="border: 0px; color: #707070; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> Here’s that history defining over in words of none other than Malcolm Nash: “I was bowling orthodox slow left- arm spin, which I didn’t do all that often. I was just trying to get him out, simple as that. There was no point in bowling wide to him, because then I wouldn’t have got him out. It was the first time I had played against Sobers in a first-class match, and I wanted his wicket.</div> <div style="border: 0px; color: #707070; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> “I had him ‘caught’ off the fifth ball, but the only really bad ball I bowled was the last one. I tried to bowl a medium-paced seamer up in the blockhole. But I didn’t change my run-up and that was a real mistake. It was a half-tracker and he whacked it out of the ground. It was the first ball I bowled all day that deserved to be hit for six.”</div> <div style="border: 0px; color: #707070; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <br /></div> </div> <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/KZUVL3SqqZo?feature=player_embedded" width="640"></iframe></div>

India were whitewashed 4-0 in Test series and were under pressure in a tri-nation series involving Sri Lanka and the hosts- Australia. Truth be told, Dhoni and Sehwag were never great friends but their differences of opinion was never this severe as was evident on that tour. Dhoni, after the crushing defeat against Australia in one the ODI match, had stated that the three senior players – Virender Sehwag, Sachin Tendulkar and Gautam Gambhir – were not being picked together in the tournament because they are slow fielders and could cost the side at least 20 runs.</div> <div style="border: 0px; color: #707070; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> Sehwag, who was playing a stand-in skipper in the next match, retorted and said Dhoni gave a different reason to them for playing youngsters. “What he told us was to give chance to youngsters and come here and play the next World Cup. That was what he told us,” Sehwag said. When reporters further pressed Indian maverick opner on his opinion on slow fielding, he replied:”Did you see my catch.” Sehwag was then referring to a catch he took in that match against Sri Lanka.</div> <strong style="border: 0px; color: #707070; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></strong><br /> <div style="border: 0px; color: #707070; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">2) S Sreesanth vs Harbhajan Singh</strong></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEip3BvvWtw0Wk5-K8AVfCXkTWJFLN5mfJ6LWiclnZwz7ifzan8fpa2YrQPvOdLwiAb-d0Nt9ddJF4D9ahCsRQcu8dbMxEHCzNDV4S5-Rpk4jrKe4kW3GXKx1uERbX5qqfGk2p_xfum-EPt-/s1600/Sree-vs-Bhaji.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEip3BvvWtw0Wk5-K8AVfCXkTWJFLN5mfJ6LWiclnZwz7ifzan8fpa2YrQPvOdLwiAb-d0Nt9ddJF4D9ahCsRQcu8dbMxEHCzNDV4S5-Rpk4jrKe4kW3GXKx1uERbX5qqfGk2p_xfum-EPt-/s1600/Sree-vs-Bhaji.jpg" /></a></div> <div style="border: 0px; color: #707070; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> Arguably the ugliest fight of our generation took place between S Sreesanth and Harbhajan Singh in the first edition of IPL. Harbhajan Singh found himself embroiled in controversy after allegedly slapping the then Kings XI fast bowler S Sreesanth during their Indian Premier League show down.</div> <div style="border: 0px; color: #707070; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> The incident came to light as Sreesanth was caught by TV cameras crying on the field before the presentation ceremony. Sreesanth later downplayed the incident saying he had no complaints against Harbhajan who was “like an elder brother” to him. Harbhajan’s team had lost their third consecutive match when he apparently reacted violently to Sreesanth’s approaching him and allegedly saying “hard luck”. The IPL disciplinary commitee banned Harbhajan from the remainder of the tournament and prohibited him from collecting his salary after finding him guilty. The BCCI launched a separate investigation into the incident and decided to ban Harbhajan for five ODIs, deeming him to have broken the code of conduct in his national contract.</div> <div style="border: 0px; color: #707070; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> But, five years after the incident a restless Sreesanth claimed that there was more to the story than what several video clips on YouTube show and that the real video, which he claims is with the IPL organizers, will reveal the truth.</div> <div style="border: 0px; color: #707070; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> Sreesanth reportedly came out with a series of Tweets on slap gate claimimg he cannot stand further humiliation. He entirely blamed Harbhajan and said the off-spinner was “completely out of control”.</div> <div style="border: 0px; color: #707070; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></strong></div> <div style="border: 0px; color: #707070; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">3) Kapil Dev vs Sunil Gavaskar</strong></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYNyX-hPIa34p9ZidgMTQfmlX-ppOFT6Al6IY8PjkMYXaPSFpbbMXOgZsQmNpfR3Ecc7tAOFBUFg1ZV_Sq8yz3SHJA2vCqBzbZkZC6dPjwNS2TfEKo2KjWGcpp23JJzpAw7zRKmtiQs18V/s1600/Gavaskar-vs-Kapil1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="205" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYNyX-hPIa34p9ZidgMTQfmlX-ppOFT6Al6IY8PjkMYXaPSFpbbMXOgZsQmNpfR3Ecc7tAOFBUFg1ZV_Sq8yz3SHJA2vCqBzbZkZC6dPjwNS2TfEKo2KjWGcpp23JJzpAw7zRKmtiQs18V/s320/Gavaskar-vs-Kapil1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> <div style="border: 0px; color: #707070; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> This was a clash of two ‘Titans’ of Indian cricket in mid 1980s. On one hand, arguably, the greatest Test opener India ever had (his record against the West Indies is stuff of legends. There are many calypso songs written for him), and on the other hand, this was there was darling of Indian public and an undisputed hero of India’s 1983 World Cup triumph— one of India’s greatest natural cricketer ever — Kapil Dev.</div> <div style="border: 0px; color: #707070; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> It was 1984 Kolkata Test match against visiting English team when for the first time the rift came out in open after Gavaskar dropped Kapil Dev from a Test match which delayed Kapil’s 100 Test match. And this ensured a rivalry never to be forgotten. He was dropped as a punishment for playing reckless shot in the second Test match at Delhi. India had won the first Test match at the Wankhede. On the fifth day of the second Test at Feroz Shah Kotla, the match seemed to be heading for a draw. India had wiped out the 111 run first innings deficit and were cruising at 207 for four with a session and a bit to go. It was then that Sandeep Patil holed and Kapil Dev, contrary to the demand of the team, played reckless shot which triggered Indian collapse. India lost their last six wickets for 28 runs and England knocked off the required few runs easily.</div> <div style="border: 0px; color: #707070; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> Gavaskar was understandably furious with the lack of discipline shown by both Patil and Kapil. After the selectors, headed by Chandu Borde, met with the captain to pick the side for the next match, a unanimous decision was announced that both the guilty players were going to be dropped.</div> <div style="border: 0px; color: #707070; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> The aftermath of the decision was murky as Kapil accused Gavaskar for his omission, the captain defended himself by saying that he had been late for the selection committee meeting and had not said a word. The then Board President, NKP Salve, had to summon both players and persuade them to bury the differences.</div> <div style="border: 0px; color: #707070; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> The crowd at Kolkata, chanted “No Kapil, No Test”, and pelted Gavaskar with rotten vegetables and fruits, prompting him to vow that he would not play there again. He kept his word when India played Pakistan at the Eden Gardens in 1986-87. However, both have moved on with time and are now often seen commentating together.</div> <div style="border: 0px; color: #707070; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></strong></div> <div style="border: 0px; color: #707070; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">4) Navjot Singh Sidhu vs Mohammad Azharuddin</strong></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDHB_ZW6yFubHCq9UD1HQ0ImrfVZcXwmNxeu7y6Ghh_jB9mdom3Umq44Vv7zTj9LTrzU4_NcRVyWaZ-emgaZgKDYE2lQZUTSIOj9PofvW9A9S-8nqZqrqDysyUjQcx_9WvsMEjsNRMPRVZ/s1600/Sidhu-vs-Azhar.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDHB_ZW6yFubHCq9UD1HQ0ImrfVZcXwmNxeu7y6Ghh_jB9mdom3Umq44Vv7zTj9LTrzU4_NcRVyWaZ-emgaZgKDYE2lQZUTSIOj9PofvW9A9S-8nqZqrqDysyUjQcx_9WvsMEjsNRMPRVZ/s1600/Sidhu-vs-Azhar.jpg" /></a></div> <div style="border: 0px; color: #707070; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> This spat might even qualify as one the greatest mysteries of Indian cricket. In 1996 on England tour, Navjot Singh Sidhu flew back to India before the start of the Test series after a spat with Mohammad Azharuddin. That there was an ugly fight is well documented but what was said exactly between the two remained unknown for over 15 years.</div> <div style="border: 0px; color: #707070; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> Former Indian opener Navjot Singh Sidhu walked out of because he thought his captain Mohammad Azharuddin was constantly abusing him, according to former BCCI secretary Jaywant Lele.

India’s Ravindra Jadeja and Suresh Raina were involved in a heated on-field argument over a dropped catch during India’s tri-series match against the West Indies.</div> <div style="border: 0px; color: #707070; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> Eventhough India defeated West Indies by 102 runs via Duckworth-Lewis method in a rain-curtailed match but the ugly incident involving the duo hogged the limelight.</div> <div style="border: 0px; color: #707070; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> The incident happened after Jadeja dismissed West Indies batsman Sunil Narine caught by Ishant Sharma.</div> <div style="border: 0px; color: #707070; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> After the dismissal, Jadeja was seen walking upto Raina and saying a few things which the Uttar Pradesh batsman didn’t find kind. Raina also replied and before things could get out of hand, skipper Virat Kohli intervened and told Raina to cool down.</div> <div style="border: 0px; color: #707070; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></strong></div> <div style="border: 0px; color: #707070; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> Jadeja was apparently annoyed as Raina failed to judge a catch offered by Narine in his previous over.

He was arguably the greatest Cricketer the game has ever seen. With an attractive atheletic build at 6 feet tall, his trim, nimble body moved with the grace of a bird, so characteristic of West Indians. He had a charming walk, graceful, relaxed, leaning forward bent at the knees, and when he came in to the crease it was reminiscent of an Emperor. Many of his contemporaries has described him as a racehorse when he came onto bowl. He reminded fans of the great racehorse Arkle- perhaps the greatest steeplechaser of all time. While Bradman’s status as the greatest batsman is increasingly under threat, no one raises an eyebrow at Garry Sobers being called the greatest allrounder.</span></strong></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <strong style="border: 0px; color: #707070; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-weight: normal; text-align: start;"><br /></span></strong></div> </div> <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/4SzfWtTZOtA?feature=player_embedded" width="640"></iframe><br /> <span style="border: 0px; color: #707070; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">4) MS Dhoni</span><br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisWVxmnjK1m5kRpQgsNe_1D4-k5TMSOArZj83D7QHef0iEL5qn1-CYgdusKe0jK4lyHFDz8RPX5q2GffmXT5b4eeDLhZ16vhQdSty73gtBgy2ZMi5dZoE5uJQRC2tWrdxAAWVn8bFH1Z0T/s1600/MSD.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisWVxmnjK1m5kRpQgsNe_1D4-k5TMSOArZj83D7QHef0iEL5qn1-CYgdusKe0jK4lyHFDz8RPX5q2GffmXT5b4eeDLhZ16vhQdSty73gtBgy2ZMi5dZoE5uJQRC2tWrdxAAWVn8bFH1Z0T/s1600/MSD.jpg" /></a></div> <div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> No cricketing discussion on fitness is complete without our very own MSD – arguably the fittest Indian ever to have played cricket. You may not associate him with those diving efforts on the field like for many of the listed cricketers here, but, the fact that this man is playing non-stop cricket and that too without much of an injury problem goes to show that MSD is fit as a fiddle. Keeping wickets is not an easy job where one has to constantly be on their toes especially in humid Indian climate where MSD plays most of his cricket. To add to that, leading the team in itself is a big drainer. No wonder, he is the ultimate ruler in today’s game, when it comes to fitness.</div> <br /> <div style="border: 0px; color: #707070; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">3) AB de Villiers</strong></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9fOOInyOuY3KmthAQDVpfYpfACW9iQBQ79ewjP53U5yTEdFK7IAQzNSvovEwa5hEySvKxbJ0qGnS9hwMB_k13h_RhTrO2-I9ESUwYKmSihQDjfZPXsFYY4rcRCy4LnrHz9XlmWh7sygUn/s1600/AB.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9fOOInyOuY3KmthAQDVpfYpfACW9iQBQ79ewjP53U5yTEdFK7IAQzNSvovEwa5hEySvKxbJ0qGnS9hwMB_k13h_RhTrO2-I9ESUwYKmSihQDjfZPXsFYY4rcRCy4LnrHz9XlmWh7sygUn/s1600/AB.jpg" /></a></div> <div style="border: 0px; color: #707070; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Abraham Benjamin de Villiers aka AB de Villiers is a three in 1 package: a great batsman, brilliant wicket-keeper, and a world class fielder. That he can sprint 100 meter in 11 seconds is a mere example of the fitness standards that he sets for himself and others to follow. The grace with which he dives around in the field makes fielding a fun to watch. He makes the toughest of fielding situations look like a child’s play. His diving run-out of Simon Katich in 2006 made people compare him to the God of Fielding – Jonty Rhodes himself.</span></strong></div> <div style="border: 0px; color: #707070; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></strong></div> </div> <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/EtSrMKFucRM?feature=player_embedded" width="640"></iframe><br /> <strong style="border: 0px; color: #707070; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">2) Andrew Symonds</strong><br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHeJ5j9S1lLeSBrWj4MDIejPxkfqKiWVIOelNdluevOnwE6sd7hoboWZ7ZEpb4UkB0RYJ5MM-lwnbak894TpozTG7WWCWLs8HiioEFjNVC_x6-fS1FjDfRvmtCRSPNPnOV4f5iHszYRX7m/s1600/Andrew_Symonds_gallery__405x400.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="316" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHeJ5j9S1lLeSBrWj4MDIejPxkfqKiWVIOelNdluevOnwE6sd7hoboWZ7ZEpb4UkB0RYJ5MM-lwnbak894TpozTG7WWCWLs8HiioEFjNVC_x6-fS1FjDfRvmtCRSPNPnOV4f5iHszYRX7m/s320/Andrew_Symonds_gallery__405x400.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> <div style="border: 0px; color: #707070; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> A supremely talented cricketer, one who could change the course of a match single-handed with either bat, ball or in the field.</div> <div style="border: 0px; color: #707070; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> Andrew Symonds brought passion into whatever he did, whether firing down offbreaks or military medium pace, hurling his ungainly bulk round the field or vigorously ruffling the bowler’s hair at the celebration of a wicket.</div> <div style="border: 0px; color: #707070; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> However, his off-field attitude continued to be a problem and the last nail in the coffin came when he went fishing in Darwin when he should have been at a team meeting in the lead-up to an ODI series against Bangladesh. Symonds was sent home from the series and not picked for the tour of India in late 2008, but cricket lovers across the world hope will never forget this controversial and the fittest Aussie cricketer of our generation.</div> <strong style="border: 0px; color: #707070; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></strong><br /> <div style="border: 0px; color: #707070; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">1) Jonty Rhodes</strong></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5JM8qP6lPzuuDOhgmQgduQZVOTrPW7zkxPEox8mnMUwggxgT4RqKeB4Rc969VngaJ0Mh8MGsq11lFh-iTLi0dZXir-7VM_ZlD4O_0asnedZPmqiahu8ZaJiYv90lDqPX2Wv9dElYEOxGg/s1600/jonty-rhodes-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="247" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5JM8qP6lPzuuDOhgmQgduQZVOTrPW7zkxPEox8mnMUwggxgT4RqKeB4Rc969VngaJ0Mh8MGsq11lFh-iTLi0dZXir-7VM_ZlD4O_0asnedZPmqiahu8ZaJiYv90lDqPX2Wv9dElYEOxGg/s320/jonty-rhodes-3.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> <div style="border: 0px; color: #707070; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> Before the 1990s, cricketers concentrated only on two aspects of cricket – Batting and bowling. But, a freak from South Africa changed the way game was played. He could change the course of a match single-handedly with his fielding.</div> <div style="border: 0px; color: #707070; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> The indifferent attitude of the players towards fielding was at its peak especially in the subcontinent. However, it was all changed on March 8, 1992, during a World Cup match between South Africa and Pakistan at Brisbane, when a green shadow with the ball and crashed into the stumps to run out Inzamam-ul-Haq. The legend of Jonty Rhodes was born on this day.</div> <div style="border: 0px; color: #707070; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> “Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s Jonty!” screamed out a newspaper next morning. It was a breakthrough moment for the diminutive Rhodes, who was playing in his first tournament. As it turned out, it wasn’t a one-off show; Rhodes produced many such Superman antics on the field that soon earned him a reputation for purely his fielding. He dived, he leaped, he lunged, he defied gravity while patrolling the point region throughout his career. He wasn’t the tallest of blokes on the ground, but his athleticism and his agility ensured that he more than makes up for his hieght.</div> <div style="border: 0px; color: #707070; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></strong></div> <div style="border: 0px; color: #707070; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> A report prepared by Cricinfo in late 2005 showed that since the 1999 Cricket World Cup, he had effected the ninth highest number of run outs in ODI cricket of any fieldsman, with the third highest success rate. Rhodes also represented South Africa at hockey.</div> <div style="border: 0px; color: #707070; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <br /></div> </div> <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/X5n7GVTOM6o?feature=player_embedded" width="640"></iframe></div>

With this series win, India’s tally of consecutive series win has moved to six. India has leveled its record of winning maximum series on trot equaling their previous best being six series win a row from August 2008 to September 2009.</div> <div style="border: 0px; color: #707070; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> MS Dhoni won the toss and decided to field first on a misty morning. Indians with the help of atmospheric conditions restricted West Indies to 5/263 and then nailed down the target with 23 balls to spare to lift yet another ODI trophy at home.</div> <div style="border: 0px; color: #707070; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> For India it was Shikhar Dhawan who stole the limelight with an aggressive innings of 119 off just 95 balls. He in the process scored his fifth ODI hundred and joined Upul Tharanga to score five hundreds in least number of innings – 28.</div> <div style="border: 0px; color: #707070; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> Meanwhile, Yuvraj Singh got some form going with a scrappy 74-ball 55 to put up a crucial 129 run partnership for third wicket to set the hosts on path of victory. The 27-year-old left-hander from Delhi was joined by the out-of–sorts Yuvraj Singh and together they steadied the Indian innings for close to which 20 overs scoring at exactly a run-a-ball, after Ravi Rampaul picked up the early wickets of India’s star batsman in Rohit Sharma, who caught at first-slip for 4 runs and Virat Kohli guided the ball to wicketkeeper for 19 runs.</div> <div style="border: 0px; color: #707070; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> Dhawan scored freely throughout his innings but brought up his century in streaky fashion as he got a thick outside edge which raced away to the third-man boundary. Luck finally ran-out for Dhawan when Windies skipper Dwayne Bravo eventually got better of him with a slower ball that the batsman tried to chip over the bowler, but he was early on the shot and Bravo took an easy catch.</div> <div style="border: 0px; color: #707070; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> Late contributions from Suresh Raina, who scored 34 runs, and MS Dhoni, who socred 23* runs, got the home side over the line. Raina, though, was dismissed by Bravo when India needed nine to win.</div> <div style="border: 0px; color: #707070; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> For West Indies, Narine was especially economical as he only conceded 32 runs from 10 overs and took the sole wicket of Yuvraj, while Rampaul took 2-55 from his 10 alloted overs.</div> <div style="border: 0px; color: #707070; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> Earlier in the day West Indies were able to set up a modest target of 264 runs. At one stage, though, the Windies looked on course to make 300-plus with Marlon Samuels set and the scorecard reading 2/168 with nearly 15 overs left.</div> <div style="border: 0px; color: #707070; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> However, 2/168 became 3/168 when Samuels failed to keep out a Ravichandran Ashwin delivery that snuck between bat-and-pad to clip the bails. He faced 93 balls for his 71 runs, while hitting seven fours and a six in the process. He also shared in a 117-run second-wicket partnership with Kieran Powell who scored a decent 70.</div> <div style="border: 0px; color: #707070; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> Ravindra Jadeja struck two overs later as he got Lendl Simmons to edge behind a ball that beat him for bounce and Dhoni took an easy catch. Simmons scored 13 runs.</div> <div style="border: 0px; color: #707070; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> Dwayne Bravo again disappointed his team as he plaed a careless shot off the bowling of Shami Ahmed, putting the breaks on the Windies’ run-rate.</div> <div style="border: 0px; color: #707070; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> However, Darren Bravo (51 not out) and Darren Sammy (37 not out) put on 67 runs for the sixth wicket from just 49 balls to give the tourists a competitive total to defend. Ashwin was the pick of the Indian bowlers as he finished with figures of 2-45.</div> </div>

At 443, he was within striking distance of Don Bradman’s then world record score of 452, made 19 years earlier when the Kathiawar captain, Thakore Sahib of Rajkot, decided to concede the match with the Maharashtra score 826 for 4. The match thus came to an abrupt end and Nimbalkar was deprived of a famous world record. Another quiet preplexing theory doing the rounds is that Nimbalkar himself had to go get married and so would not have been able to bat on Day 3 anyway.</span></strong><br /> <strong style="border: 0px; color: #707070; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">2) A rare occurrence – History of the tied Test</strong></strong><br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJF5tFo-uok5bBfdBptDUoH_6gQPTqWBm_n5XSFBVVDGRC0EOSaZbfv2HF2JnvPsNHohN3KiXYPnQZyY0nb7ywi_h6QDQTueMWsnxcfbwcwo-RdeS2aBui7WIPS3eWZysV8LN6jizTRqy9/s1600/Madras-Test.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJF5tFo-uok5bBfdBptDUoH_6gQPTqWBm_n5XSFBVVDGRC0EOSaZbfv2HF2JnvPsNHohN3KiXYPnQZyY0nb7ywi_h6QDQTueMWsnxcfbwcwo-RdeS2aBui7WIPS3eWZysV8LN6jizTRqy9/s1600/Madras-Test.jpg" /></a></div> <strong style="border: 0px; color: #707070; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">In the 145 year history of Test cricket there are only two occasions when a Test matches have ever been tied – the first between West Indies and Australia at Brisbane in 1960-61 and the second between Australia and India in Madras in 1986-87. In addition to the two tied Tests, there have been two Test matches which ended when time expired with the scores level in the fourth innings, but with the batting side still having wickets in hand. These matches are considered to be draws, rather than ties. These matches were: In 1996, a Test between England and Zimbabwe was the first instance of a Test to finish drawn with scores level, with England finishing on 204–5 with 5 wickets remaining.

The second time it happened was at Headingley in 1981 when an inspired Ian Botham and a devastating Bob Willis helped England win by 18 runs. The last occasion was in 2000-01 at Calcutta when a VVS Laxman master-class helped by Rahul Dravid and Harbhajan Singh helped India win by an amazing 171 runs after following on.</div> <div style="border: 0px; color: #707070; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></strong></div> <div style="border: 0px; color: #707070; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">19) The first black man to play for SA</strong></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIS0Amt4dPRcP0Lq5Z_Fd9rXOqXgrnVe54i_vASlSGFhirx521gGFVuZHVgQbtjy-dqHoOysb8tv3odiOI4jagMjEDhIAMVm-LDNVXDAlQNqrANGecRRhMXMW9uiSCucAg6aatDOvMVk0u/s1600/Ntini.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIS0Amt4dPRcP0Lq5Z_Fd9rXOqXgrnVe54i_vASlSGFhirx521gGFVuZHVgQbtjy-dqHoOysb8tv3odiOI4jagMjEDhIAMVm-LDNVXDAlQNqrANGecRRhMXMW9uiSCucAg6aatDOvMVk0u/s1600/Ntini.jpg" /></a></div> <div style="border: 0px; color: #707070; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> Makhaya Ntini is the first black man to play test cricket for South Africa.
