FINAL! STANDARD BANK SERIES | IND VS SA | Durban, 1997 | *SUPER RARE* 

Same brother even I was in 10th and saw entire match late night. We could have won this lost in later stages but what a fight by Sachin n Dravid... Some luck and this would have been best win after 83 world Cup and 85series

As also the biggest truth of Indian cricket in those times - ONLY ONE MAN STOOD STILL!

​@@abhikul123South Africa won because of superior bowling attack.

Hansie got Sachin or else India would have won so handsomely.. Heart break real heart break that night in 1997

Lol, those days India used to loose consistently. It was not joy, but torture to watch. During those days many people dint have cable connection, still some fans used to go to their friends place having cable connection and watch the match. But most of the time India used to loose matches and disappoint. Now some of the members of this team have become analysts and commentators.

Cricket is still a joy,,,don't talk like a block

@@avinashavi3719 All dear readers, one nice and important fact I'd like to share with you here. Mostly national citizens of a certain country often tease others that you're only a typical fan of your own nation idols. It could be me teasing others or even you teasing someone else. But before doing that, let's inspect the actual scenario. I'm telling this based on my experiences in India. Your experiences may differ from the following. Fact is that most of the common people didn't have TV back in 1970s and even till mid 1990s. So society people mostly used to gather and be openly welcomed by the little 'royal' families who had TV set at their home. Those times, watching even India matches was hell of difficult task as Doordarshan didn't used to telecast every single match. If watching India matches itself was so difficult, obviously watching other nation matches in India seems a far fetched dream, as there was no internet or private network those days to watch any channel across the globe. So this is the VERY REASON WHY MOSTLY INDIANS HAVE WATCHED ONLY INDIA MATCHES AND CAN RECALL MOSTLY INDIAN HEROES. But I must say, I was lucky to experience both India and other nation matches of golden times like from 2000 till 2002. Especially I've watched other nation matches more than India matches, all thanks to espn, the best sports channel I've ever watched. I've watched Tests and ODIs (at least highlights of) WI-Aus, Eng-Aus, Zimbabwe matches, Ind-NZ, Ind-WI and several other quality contests. All the heroes then, like Sherwin Campbell, Alistair Campbell, Andy-Grant Flower, Lara, Nasser Hussain, Trescothick, Butcher, Stewart, Wavell Hinds, Marlon Samuels, Gayle, Jacobs, Ben-Adam Hollioake, Flintoff, Hoggard, Graham Thorpe, Cork, Gough, Mullally, Astle, Fleming, Mark Richardson, Vincent, Styris, Macmillan, Oram, Cairns, Harris, Tuffey...... THE LIST OF LEGENDS IS SIMPLY ENDLESS !!!! They weren't just players or entertainers, but the WHOLE TEAMS OF SA, NZ, AUS, SL, ENG, WI, ZIM AND INDIA WERE EDUCATORS. THEY HAVE ACTUALLY TAUGHT CRICKET AND LIFE BASICS TO ALL THE WORLDLY PEOPLE OF THE ENTIRE GENERATION. SALUTE TO MY GLORIOUS '90s AND 2000s CRICKET !!! I think espn gave me so.much sports knowledge which is never available as a package ON ANY CHANNEL NOWADAYS. I've watched all of cricket, football, F1, cycling, skating, tennis, boxing, golf and somewhat even wwe, polo, horse racing, basketball, baseball, billiards and rugby back in 2000s. Getting to watch such quality sports on a single channel in India is beyond impossible today, despite so much technological and overall progress. Sportscenter program was really amazing and it covered news and updates of all sports, not just cricket or thereabouts. Really love those days of glorious 1990s and early 2000s !!!!!!!!!! 🏏👌👌👍👍👍😊😊😊😊

@@avinashavi3719 Those days I used to eagerly wait for matches.. Now India win matches more often but I hardly care about it.

@@kuls43 oh really, Then you are truly a looser. Those days India used to loose games frequently and dint know the art of finishing games. If you tell those days we're golden, then you surely love loosing and don't like success. Learn from Aussies, way back in 2000 aussies used to win series /tournaments consistently and developed the brand of winning.On the other hand, Our great Indian team under great Ganguly, Team India used to loose matches and tournament finals. Still some morons consider him as greatest captain.

Blind view.

Kid you are.. Newbie of 20-20​@@D.ThirumalaikumarKumar

@@haffisna4857 the fact is no one hit like Rohit sharma six in cricket history.

Very true.Indian low order batsmans were so poor particularly Srinath, kumble, prasad even they didn't know how to run between the wickets. They used to throw their wicket.

Yes ... really we missed this opportunity under Sachin's captaincy...against westindies also one test win we missed in westindies

Because we had match fixers likes of Azhar, Jadeja, Mongia 😢

VERY TRUE ​@@vaibhavkadbhane5032

We lacked mental toughness

Narrow minded comment.

Yes

Imperious shot! Bit of a flat batted shot over mid on.

He said " it ain't fucking easy"

Wat a collapse

I have never seen Dravid playing like this! Bravo, love you

Rip

Rip

RIP

Gaurav Bhatt yes sir u rite

Aj bhi Kohli out Match over

@@rajatsingh3338 rohit ke bina kohli bekar hai

Same memories !

Still we are not getting a proper no 4 no 5 batsman since yuvraj and dhoni retirement.

ashif khan

King kallis 👑

Those days India knows how to start but don't know how to finish.

@@ricchardgomess5253 100% true bro

Reason being we were not having good pacers and batsmen and indian cricket bench strength was not good. Also bcci just started earning bcoz of sachin's brilliance. That's y sachin is God of cricket

That was under ganguly😞

@@sarathmpambi no, that match was under Tendulkar captaincy

Better than Viv Richards in early 90s one man army....

Jadeja was good enough only in Indian conditions.

Fucking srinath,kumble and useless prasad

I agree this match azar has played well...but he is a fixer all knws even bcci too...u need to agree man:)

@@karthikeyan153 right absolutely sir I think before this match no bookies didn't meet our fixers ..

Who blamed Azhar is a complete idiot.

That's how it was throwing matches away at overseas tours because we hardly plan ourselves to win abroad due to ego problems of some players during the 90s.

Yess

Bloody lower order

66 off 66

Sab is gandu lower order ki wajah se 😩😩

Lucky u. Some of us had to watch cricket matches from outside TV shops

Same here

Golden days👍

That era was SA domanated.Just look at cronze captaincy record

Nz not far way a few years later vettori, oram, styris, macmilan and franklin

Yes, I still Remember That, Sachin was on Beast mood at that time...

yes even i searched for tht video and endedup here

Ya India scored 197 only

Venkatesh prasad had a very good tour of England in 1996 he took lot of wickets in test matches,and in west indies and south Africa also ,thes were combined ranking for test and odi it is common for batsman and bowlers,in those days no separate rankings for odi and tests.

@@agk1109 👍

9 out of 10 from India and Pak. Nayan at 8th. Must be maha chutiya rankings..

bhargav rao cronje nice player Sachin used to say he used to play carefully vs him

But looked like 40

Because he was whacked for boundaries the most

I like his commentary.

Maybe that was also a part of fixing.

It was an exceptional match. Else he used to be hell slow during those years.. 96-98

Dhobi said he was slow

Arindam Dhar Wtf they are not machine but humans no player till date has played perfectly in all their innings except Don Bradman. By that logic we lost 2003 world cup because Sachin didnt gave the start and looked he gave away his wicket purposely to Mcgrath

Haha see Azhar score 45 of 44 balls you fool when he got out India was in winning position so how could he fixed match must be other player who underperform or else the middle order was poor at that time as simple as that..

There were 2 match fixers in the team azhar and jadeja

Dravid should be booked for playing such a atrocious shot when lower middle order can't really bat

Or courtesy Sachin.
