I agree with one of his points though . 83 WC Final was better than ZIM match.
However I have no problem with ZIM match . It was a knockout match for IND.

Moooo
Does anyone think that ESPN CricInfo is getting their info on CW discussion on their list and they are pretty much trolling the **** out of everyone?
Number 1 entry should be Mohammad Ashraful’s masterclass at Cardiff against the mighty Aussies, 2005

Number 1 should be India vs Australia 7th odi from the 2013 series which had a lot of meme value (like dhawan mocking Watson's hamstring injury).
In fact you could make a case the entire top 3 should be matches from that series (kohli Rohit chasing 360 in a canter, and the Faulkner vs Ishant Sharma game)
Who the **** cares about world cups

The '87 Final was such a big one for me. It can't be overstated how little chance that Australian team was given going into the tournament, and what a boost it gave to Australian cricket at the time coming as it did when we were at our lowest ebb.
The fact that, beyond the historic context and significance, the Final was a nerve-shredding classic of a game of cricket means that I would have considered it a lock for this list.
With only six spots to go though, I fear this will end in huge disappointment.

Great shout. What a match that was.

Obviously no chance of it making the list now, but I've mentioned before one of my absolute favourite JAMODIs was this epic game between Pakistan and Sri Lanka in Sharjah. SL only needed 24 in 10 overs with 8 wickets left but then Wasim and Razzaq started reversing the ball like mad (hmmmmm very interesting) and it ended up being a tie. It has one of the best under pressure runouts ever too when Murali sets off for the winning run and Shoaib Malik hits the stumps with only one to aim at.

Love that game.

Funny you should say that, this match has always lived long in my memory for a similar reason. Surrey cruising to victory need 25 runs with 9 wickets remaining against Lancs, cue a Wasim inspired collapse.....they would only score another 18!! He may not have taken the wickets, but it was his spell that sparked it and he was impossible to score off (think he went for plenty early on in the innings).

So, looking as I do after each entry at what is left to come, and if I accept that there are the Big Three non-negotiable locks, then we have three remaining slots to somehow fit in the following (and these are just WC matches, let alone anything else!):
'83 Final
'87 Final
'92 Semi
'92 Final
'96 Final
'11 Eng v Ire KOB madness
'15 Semi
At least four of those matches will miss out entirely. And that is without also considering a couple of iconic individual performances (Viv's 189, Sachin's 200).

I'd never seen that scorecard - that's incredible.

I'm ok with the 83, 92 and 96 finals missing out. Historic games (as all WC finals are), but they're not locks for a list like this imo. Any of the others not being in the list would be a real shame though.

I assume thats what he meant by the Big Three, 99 SF, 2019 Final and 438
The Sean
Cricketer Of The Year
Yeah, that plus the 2019 Final and the 1999 Semi are the Big Three I was referring to. I think they have to be the top three.
