Steve Waugh century in 1999 super 6s match against South Africa taking the fight to Pollock, Donald, Klusener, Elworthy, Cronje, Kallis.

Insane quality and high pressure.

Steve Waugh century in 1996 super 6s match against South Africa taking the fight to Pollock, Donald, Klusener, Elworthy, Cronje, Kallis.

Insane quality and high pressure.

it was in 1999

 

[smash84]

it was in 1999

yes, just fixed mine. That was 1999 World Cup.

 

[wpdavid]

Clive Lloyd in the first WC final worth a shout

Dead right. A century against a very good Australian attack after WI had lost early wickets. And his scoring rate in that innings was about 20 years ahead of its time.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Chris Harris - scored 130 vs Warne and McGrath in the 96 quarterfinal, but unfortunately lost

Dead right. A century against a very good Australian attack after WI had lost early wickets. And his scoring rate in that innings was about 20 years ahead of its time.

Yeah this was a great innings probably better than Viv’s 189* as the bowling lineup was very strong with Lillee, Thompson and Gilmour but generally Viv’s 189* is rated higher as he scored 72% of Teams Runs which was insane. Wisdom rated 189* by Viv as the Greatest ODI Innings.

Chris Harris - scored 130 vs Warne and McGrath in the 96 quarterfinal, but unfortunately lost

McGrath was not lethal at that point of time and Warne was doing ok in Sub continent.

Ultimately all cricketers sucked. It's time to accept that.

Any one for Aravinda's 66(47) against India in 96 SF?

It was still enough to win the match but would have been better if he kicked onto a century. When he got out the job was far from done

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Was Gemphir's knock in 2011 WC greater than Dhenier's?

 

[CricketFan90s]

Was Gemphir's knock in 2011 WC greater than Dhenier's?

It was almost equally good but Dhoni was very attacking took the lead and finished the game. If not for attacking game of Dhoni India might have still crumbled despite the heroic knock of Gambhir due to pressure.
