No disagreement by me or other mere mortals about that I'm sure, but I always hear how Tendulkar was one of these rare good- sportsman types above most others, so was surprised after colliding into him with his bat, he didn't seem concerned in the slightest when he went down. That said, when your wicket is in jeopardy, I suppose the real human comes out of most.

Humans are ****s. Shocker.

Humans are ****s. Shocker.

Lol, well most are, but there really are some rare exceptions in sport, and tbf on Tendullkar, I'd say 90% of cricketers would have been more concerned about potentially losing their wicket than worrying about the guy on the ground.

Nah no one ever had any concern for Akthar. He was such a ****.

 

[cnerd123]

Humans are ****s. Shocker.

If anything Sachin ignoring Akthar makes him even more God-like. After all, all these Gods in various mythologies issued plagues and floods onto humans, or instructed people to kill their own sons, or slaughtered the kings of opposing nations.

Sachin was actually merciful here. A real cruel God would have proceeded to break Shoaib's leg with his bat (as Shoaib himself attempted to do to his own teammate...God what a ****)

Hey do you all remember when Shoaib got genital warts? I bet he shared a team cup after he found out too.

Nah no one ever had any concern for Akthar. He was such a ****.

Nah, a really top sportsman/human would have, but I agree most wouldn't.

Don't see what point you are trying to make here? We took you Sachin comment and ran it for as much humour as we could get from it, now I'm just confused as to why you're banging on and on.

Haha, you're the one banging on now, this is getting weird. I just made the fairly obvious point that in spite what I've always heard about what an amazingly rare & gracious sportsman Tendulkar is that I was surprised he didn't appear to be concerned when it was a tense moment where his wicket was at stake.

I then went on to say, most cricketers would be the same, but possibly a rare few would have been good enough sports to check on the guy on the floor almost instinctively, regardless of the prospect they might have been run out.

Not sure why that point seems to upset you so much. I'd left it at my last comment, but you decided to keep going with it which is just bizarre.

It's okay, it wasn't an insult, I wasn't calling Sachin a terrible person, let's all calm down and leave it there eh.

Great extended footage of 'The humdinger' ODI from Australian Rebel Tour in 1987

Roy Pienaar was a top player. Obviously Fotheringham/Whitfield were also Jimmy Cook's opening partners through the rebels series'.

Young skinny blonde Allan Donald getting a bit of tap

Mustaches and mullets. Great decade for cricket.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Does that have footage of Rice and Le Roux? :o

 

[OverratedSanity]

Ok that was awesome. Rice's yorkers at the end were superb. First time I've seen an extended video of his bowling.

Hughes and Pienar were loads of fun to watch as well.

 

[Spark]

The shot at about 2:55 is so absurd that it's one of those rare individual shots I still remember absolutely perfectly years later.

 

[OverratedSanity]

You're talking about that cover drive off Malinga aren't you?

*checks video *

Yep.

The flicked six the previous ball pretty memorable too.

 

[vcs]

How about the winning stroke? So good.

 

[honestbharani]

We got the Star commentary for this one. Lol @ the C9 commentary team cracking up after every ball of that Malinga over.
