That was him. Boyish looks.That pitch was really deteriorating.
Was that Kallis chasing and picking up the ball at the midwicket boundary?
He was one of my favourite batsmen growing up, spectacular to watch. The partnership with Sachin at Capetown is what got me into test cricket.Overratedsanity won't like but the cricketer was awesome. Helicopter shot at 2:52 eat your heart out Dhoni & Mohammed Shahzad. But 7 minutes of gold.
That partnership was glorious. India were 4 down for **** all and those two came in and were scoring at about 5-6 an over in that post-lunch session. Also remember Adam Bacher's stunning catch to dismiss Sachin in that innings, he was the last man out.He was one of my favourite batsmen growing up, spectacular to watch.

Which is it sucked so much that he turned out like he did.
What a great clip. Unusually for Azhar he played so many pull shots in that innings. I remember missing this entire innings because there was a scheduled power cut in the place where I lived (jeez that was such a routine part of life).Overratedsanity won't like but the cricketer was awesome.
