If you could rewrite one event in cricket history...

[G.I.Joe]

Sachin's back or elbow not giving way.

 

[Pratters]

You are bound to have injuries as a player. Tendulkar said in an interview with Bhogle recently on the lines that his tennis elbow was hyped too much. He said that even Kallis had a tennis elbow but not much was made of that. Every thing to do with Tendulkar has to be micro analyzed and that's a trap one should avoid falling into. I follow Tendulkar closer than perhaps any one I know but there is a subtle difference between following closely and following too closely.

49.6 Chappell to McKechnie 6 runs! NZ win

NZ tie. Match is replayed.

This is a very, very important distinction when discussing that event.

NZ win next match, and then go on to dominate all forms of the game for the next few decades

Touche.

 

[aussie]

Hmmm..

- South Africa vs Australia in the 70s vs WI in the 80s.

- Harold Larwood playing more test cricket after Bodyline

- Bradman ending with a career average of 100 of course.

- Australia winning in Antigua 2003 & Chennai 01.

- Both Warne & Hayden lasting until the 2009 Ashes.

- More Ind vs Pak cricket during the 90s

- Shane Bond being injury free

- 15 overs field restriction not being changed. Plus the super-sub rule being implemented in a morsensible way.

I would also like to see the Australia-Pakistan test wicket given out by the umpire with Pakistan 1-0 down but Australia down and out in the test before that partnership. Was the batsman Langer or Gilchrist? My memory is hazy.

Langer off Wasim. Wasim was pretty pissed. Another memorable victory against a great team snatched away.

Would have been nice to see a peak Wasim and Waqar against Tendulkar, not that the 99 series wasn't great, but still...

What trap? You're missing the woods for the trees. Its a simple answer to a simple question.

 

[asty80]

No match fixing ever happened. Cricket is too precious a game.

 

[Bouncer]

India NOT avoiding Playing test series with Pak in 90's and Watching Waqar-Wasim Running into Sachin when both W's were at their prime!

Why do you wish the injuries never occured. Injuries are bound to occur in a player's career if it is long.

 

[G.I.Joe]

Why do you wish to overturn an incorrect umpiring decision? Umpiring errors are bound to occur in matches as long as humans make the decisions.

 

[GGG]

49.6 Chappell to McKechnie 6 runs! NZ win

Nah McKechnie takes a wild swing, the bat slips out of his hand and clouts Chappel in the face and a freak of physics causes the bat to knock his nose clean off his face.

You feel as if Tendulkar could have done great deeds had those injuries not occured. Fact is, in a career of over 20 years, you are bound to have injuries. It seems Tendulkar fans are never satisfied with what Tendulkar does. If a player plays for 20 years and receives a few umpiring decisions which are against him, I won't be grudging it.

 

[Fusion]

Inzi scores 3 more runs to overtake Miandad's Pakistani runs record.

 

[Cruxdude]

India winning WC 2003. Actually during that match there was a rain delay in the Indian innings and the commentators were talking about the match being replayed the next day. What a sad day that was.

It is just his wish. Why bother?

Yeah fair point. I was thinking the same. I am just nit picking. Sorry GI Joe. Carry on.

We will win it in 2011.
