South Africa vs England 2nd ODI Bloemfontein. Last ball finish. 1 run needed off last ball. Kevin Pietersen smashes his first ODI century against his country of birth South Africa.
I remember this series ,actually it was battle between Justin Kemp and Pietersen 😃 and in every one Kemp and Pietersen used to fire for there sides and finally Proteas won series...but that was a peak of cricket when we had Gillichrist,Kallis ,Tendulkar ,Lara, Bevan and plenty kind of cricketers
We had the greatest childhood mate. Not like the jokers we have today with smaller grounds and lenient fielding restrictions. In those days 300 was a huge target. Now its a joke, even 400 is easily achievable chasing
@@marksman9249 It's not though. There's only been one time in history when 400 was chased and that was when odi batting was harder than it is nowadays. Also, even though I don't like the fact that cricket became very batsman dominated, cricket probably would've lost a huge amount of popularity if scores in ODI stayed as low as they used to be.
3:36 the commentator says "77 runs from the final 10 overs" as a praise. Those days!! How times have changed, nowadays the same thing would be said as "they could only manage 77 in the final 10 overs".
1999 Worldcup Bowlers 1.McGrath 2.Warne 3.Wasim 4.Waqar 5.Shoaib 6.Saqlain 7.Donald 8.Pollock 9.Ambrose 10.Walsh 11.Murali 12.Kumble How many great bowlers in one tournament unlike today
Gotta say you won't see keeping like that last ball anymore. Keeping up to a 135km yorker. Keepers just can't do that these days. Must have been Kabir Ali's best moment in an England shirt lol.
the boundaries where way bigger and one ball was used due to which ball used to get softer and was harder to hit plus the reverse swing and there was no rule to have five filders within the circle u could have 9 filders out of the circle leaving the kipper and bowler. looks like ur a 20-20 time born watcher ur just kid ur comment proves it.
That's always been my issue with him. He had clear and obvious weaknesses. He always looked uncomfortable while batting to me. He did perform though, which was really confusing, but good. He did what he could and it worked for him.
High standards!! This is where the maverick KP took off!! And I loved watching Kemp as well.. Heck of a striker.. Wish he was a lil more disciplined.. Would have had a better career
KP ne hi England ko pehla world cup jitaya tha I mean 2010 T20 Vahi England ki tournament ki sabse pahle Jeet thi KP is the key player of England Now Ben Stokes
I hate greame smith in one thing the opener batsman was gubbs and he always tries to send him in lower order at that time de villier was not the great batsman like today he was only supporting batsman on that time
England should include Pietersen in their squad ...if it doesnt happen ...Then South Africa are in desperate need of a player of this calibre since Kallis Departure from the International Scene .
Nithin Somarajan what about during icc tournaments..no world cup...no champions trophy..hehe..chokers are the ones who crumble under pressure in big matches
If England replace Jones with Jos Butler, replace Micheal Vaughan for EOIN MORGAN and replace Kabir Ali with Mark Wood they would be almost unstoppable in ODI.
