If you could time-travel to any cricket game in history?

[Burgey]

Well, goes without saying that Murphy wins the thread, but fwiw I'd like to go back to the 1961 Tied Test, and to day one of Headingly in 1930.

4th Test: England v Australia at Manchester, Jul 24-26, 1902 | Cricket Scorecard | Cricinfo.com

India Vs Australia tied test at Chennai where Dean Jones hit that double.

I was there..



Or so they tell me..

 

[Shri]

I was there..



Or so they tell me..

Let me guess. Were you a kid then? Same thing happened to me under different circumstances. I was there when Anwar hit 194 agaisnt India at Chennai, but dozed off for the majority of the game.

 

[Days of Grace]

Can't believe noone else is thinking like me:

Go back to Headingley 1981, day 3, and place a sizable bet on England.

 

[Corli]

South Africa vs Australia at Durban, 1970

Watching Richards Pollock bat together would be awesome.

 

[Himannv]

The year is 2826, and India have finally reaped the rewards of their controversial cloning program.

LOL!! Good one.

Not sure about a particular match, but I would have liked to been around when the bodyline series was played.

Ditto on this. Would love to have seen the Bodyline series live.

1st Test: England v India at Lord's, Jul 26-31, 1990 | Cricket Scorecard | Cricinfo.com - Azhar's 121 from 111, To quote Mike Brearley "This one was for the lords, perhaps the very best Innings on English soil"(Mind you Gooch made 333 that game)

1st Test: India v England at Kolkata, Jan 29-Feb 2, 1993 | Cricket Scorecard | Cricinfo.com - Azhar's 182 of 197, when India was 93-3 and he was about to be dropped from the team, Match-winning Innings. "This was a masterpiece of uninhibited strokeplay matched with watchful defence" according to the Wisden Almanack.

2nd Test: India v South Africa at Kolkata, Nov 27-Dec 1, 1996 | Cricket Scorecard | Cricinfo.com - Azhar's 109 of 77 balls(Including a 73 ball century) against an on-fire Klusner(who take 8 that game) and Donald at his tactical peak.

Visually the best batting I have ever seen by a mile, I'd kill to see those live again.

 

[BhupinderSingh]

That match of PAKISTAN-INDIA Test series of 1983 in which Imran Khan scored a century & took 10 wickets.And he's the only one to do it in history of cricket.

 

[The Sean]

That match of PAKISTAN-INDIA Test series of 1983 in which Imran Khan scored a century & took 10 wickets.And he's the only one to do it in history of cricket.

Ian Botham says hi.

 

[Black_Warrior]

Any match in this series

Apart from Pakistan winning 3-0, Imran took 40 wickets on flat, lifeless Pakistani pitches at a measly average of 13.
Imran believed he was better than Kapil Dev..and this was the series that would prove it..He took 40 wickets, Kapil took a respectable 24. This is also a spectacular series for Imran vs Gavaskar contests.

Lillee and Marsh were way ahead of you.

For me, has to be November 8th-12th, 1985.

 

[L Trumper]

Not an official match per se, but i'd love to watch this one
England v Rest of the World XI at The Oval, Aug 13-18, 1970 | Cricket Scorecard | Cricinfo.com
well the whole series actually Rest of the World XI tour of England 1970 | Cricket news, live scores, fixtures, features and statistics on Cricinfo.com

Also the above mentioned OT test in 1902 along with any of the jessop's blinders.

 

[Days of Grace]

Yeah, for me, anything back in the "golden age" involving any of Trumper, Barnes, Lohmann or Jessop would be great.

I'd be fascinated to see how Barnes bowled.

I myself would turn a few heads turning up in cargo pants and a polo shirt tbh.

 

[LongHopCassidy]

Would like to go to the New Years' Day one-dayer in 1995-96 between Australia and the Windies. I distinctly remember seeing it on TV as a five-year-old and revering Bevan ever since, even though I didn't even know who he was at the time. Didn't appreciate either that he'd just bailed Australia out of the deepest, most cavernous **** imaginable - carried the side from 6/38 to 7/74 to 9/173 with a four off the last ball to win by one wicket. YouTube doesn't do it justice. And Reiffel got MotM, the ****.

I'd like to see it again.

 

[Hogey]

1999 Barbados Test where Lara hit 153*

I agree.

 

[andmark]
