Watching the highlights of that spell of Malcolm's it was just sheer, sustained pace. First ball set the tone, and the rest of the day followed. Seriously fast bowling.

Sunil Joshi - 5 wickets for 6 runs vs Proteas - That game was the first time I had seen an Indian side dominate a test playing nation in all three departments of the game.
Rahul Dravid - 50 off 22 balls in an ODI
Nathan Astle fastest double ton - i mean who would have imagined Astle to hold that record for 16 years (and counting) before he actually scored that
Browne & Bradshaw partnership in the 2004 champions trophy final
Charles Coventry - 194* in an ODI
Andrew Hall's century against India in a test match while opening the batting at Kanpur
Azhar Mahmood vs South Africa in tests
Ian Bell - most runs by an English batsman in ODI cricket and looks like he will hold that record for couple of years to come

Yeah 3 ridic tons against a full bowling strength SA when Pakistan were 5 for nothing, 3 times out of 3. Never even scored a fifty against a team other than South Africa it's the best example yet in this topic

Century and half century on debut at Rawalpindi and then scored two more centuries when Pakistan toured South Africa few months after the home series.

James Kirtley at Trent Bridge in 2003.

Bowled (sort of) us to victory against a good SA side, and I don't recall him doing much else in any of his tests.

how about Stewie Macgill when he first made his mark in the 1999 Sydney Test against England. Never looked near that good again
