Comes in at 20/2, scores a hundred, gets out and the score is only 136/3. That about sums up Lara's career.
The entire second half of the innings is utter insanity.
How good does Mikey Holding look in that clip?Can never tire of watching that guy.
How did Adam Dale ever get picked for Australia in that era, I've seen more threatening looking part-timers..
Dale was a genius when there was any movement - just a deer in the headlights against that onslaught though.

There were a plethora of Queensland pacemen who had outstanding first-class records during the 90s and 00s.
As for Dale, was a very good ODI bowler for a while in the late 1990s but he fell out of favour around the 99 World Cup and was gone completely once Brett Lee arrived on the scene.

Generally had to bowl most of his ten up front, so made it hard at times to fit him in as others were more flexible.

Been looking for this innings for ages. So glad it's finally on youtube, albeit a pretty short video. Couple of amazing upper cuts he played off Bond are missing. Still maintain that this 76 and the 39 in the othr test are two of the best innings I've ever seen in really difficult conditions. Combination of some ***y as **** strokeplay and some luck. The ball that got him seamed in so much that Sidhu mistakes it for an inside edge.

Sachin also played a couple of lovely knocks on that tour. Absolute nightmarish batting conditions, though.
Weird thing is, I thought we made Darryl Tuffey look even better than Bond at times.

Somebody has actually uploaded this. Now if only there was the rest of the match.

Been watching a bit of old WSC ODI 80s/90s matches recently as well. It's easy to forget how much of an event the ODI tri-series was in Australia, especially for the opening MCG match of the summer.
Last really big one that captured the public's imagination was the 1995/96 series where Sri Lanka and their attacking way of playing and taking on Australia really made it much more interesting than their Test series (where Sri Lanka were easily outclassed). After that it was a steady decline in interest with the barometer; hardly any of the finals in Melbourne got over 50k iirc after that.

Fantastic! Never actually seen the incident until now. Was a bit different to how I presumed it was; did the umpire give the correct decision going by the laws of the game at the time?
On a broader level, that Test was a major missed opportunity by Pakistan as easily their best opportunity to win a series in Australia (all they had to do was draw in Perth) against such a weakened Oz lineup.

Not sure if this has been on here before.
The end of the match was why fielding restrictions were invented.
