Having the top score doesn't necessarily make it the best performance in the match. Yes, Ricky Ponting scored a double century in their first innings, but it took him almost 450 balls. Therefore, some performances are deemed better despite not having the highest scores.
@@Detective313"Undoubtedly, Man of the Match was Ricky Ponting , who amassed 706 runs in the series, emerging as the highest run-scorer. Rahul Dravid, with 619 runs, held the distinction for India. Interestingly, though Ponting outshone with the most runs, it was Rahul who was adjudged the Man of the Series. If the same criterion applied as in the Boxing Day Test for selecting the best player, Ponting, being the top run-scorer, should have been the recipient. The rationale behind Rahul receiving the honor remains a curious aspect."
Yes bro...England feel that they invented this new bazball kind...but fact is that veeru owned bazball as soon as he debuted to test cricket...very underrated test cricketer, but my favourite player
@@SuperFastbowler I remember in 2010-11 series against SA, where Steyn and co destroyed indian batting line up.. However there was a lot of criticism for sehwag particularly that he isn't the good test player, he just throws kitchen sink at everything... But overall his impact and stats looks pretty good to me
@@avatharamveeraraghavan3001 Thats what i wrote... Gavaskar, navjot singh, Rohit, Gambhir, Murali Vijay (he was good against pace and spin in SENA) But only you can name a few in world cricket, who are better than him at the top... If i had to pick opening i'd def go with sehwag and Gavaskar
Ganguly 144, Dravid 233, Laxman 148, Sehwag 195, Sachin 241. All of India's batsmen scored daddy hundreds. It was a once-in-a-lifetime series for real. ❤
Exactly 💯 Once in a lifetime series ❤️ Those Aussie were nightmare, and domination on their own backyard was unreal.❤❤ We almost won that series, only Steve Waugh was the barrier. Vvs laxman was my man of the series ❤️
@@lokeshgsadhmaya5499these aussies weren't nightmare imo Just that indian team was weak They didn't had McGrath and warne Only good test bowler was Gillespie 2001 aus was way stronger imo
What time and players used to be...... Sehwag...Sachin....Ganguly...Dravid...Laxman....Mighty Yuvraj.....wow ........time when used to watch every ball of the match with love...Passion and tension💖💖💖💖💖👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝
If KL had half his mindset he would have been so successful.Viru was a genius with both bat and ball. World is yet to see another batsman with such courage and skill at the same time.
Since Sehwag's departure, the quest for an opening batsman of his caliber remains unfulfilled. Numerous contenders have emerged, yet none have managed to replicate his exceptional talent and charisma. Regrettably, India's opening batsmen have struggled to deliver their finest performances on foreign soil.
Would have been Rohit Sharma if he would have backed like Sehwag who despite having a string of poor performances was continuously backed by Ganguly , Rohit Sharma is unlucky to play in the captaincy of Dhoni and Kohli , he would have been a different player if he would have got someone like Ganguly
And after that India collapsed and all out on 366 🫣.. Ponting scored double ton and Australia won test match by 9 wickets 🤐 That's beauty of test cricket match changes in every session ❤️
I watched it all through live. I thought after the match was over, Indian team owed Sehwag an apology for losing the match (and letting go of the chance to win the series) after the start he provided. I still think the same after 20 years. Ian Chappel regards it as one of the best innings played in Australian soil. And he is right.
@@intelligentdude7108 true. India did well in the series because of that, I always thought. But, it is about this match in particular, which would have won India the series, had the other players backed Sehwag's super knock on day 1
Now that Robelinda's channel is gone on RU-vid, Cricket Australia is now reuploading all the gold, which was earlier on ROB's channel. This was one of those videos which was viewed highly on ROB's channel. Hope we can get back that epic channel soon. 😢😢
@@SAFFRONINFERNO Nope. The channel back now is made by a fan who had downloaded all his videos. The original Robelinda isn't uploading anymore on RU-vid.
@@SATYAMKUMAR-fo8qn Not in test cricket boss. Both were absolute guns in ODI cricket. Lee was very inconsistent in tests. He'd have days where he would be 5/20 and days where he'd be 0/100. And Bracken averaged 43 in 5 tests. He was not good at test cricket. None of them were as good as McGrath or peak Gillespe. And none of them are as good as Starc, Hazlewood and Cummins in test cricket.
Sehwag 195 Innings On a Boxing Day Test Match,On Australian Soil against the Mighty Australia Team With the Commentary Of Bill Lowry,Mark Taylor And Michael Slater What a Treat It Was 😊😊😊
Thankfully, there were no Indian commentators in it. They would have surely made a mess of it. Loved the commentary as Sehwag played one of his greatest knocks.
I started to watch test cricket to see his batting...if any player of his era who change the match scenario in one session, its sehwag...the best opener in test cricket i have ever seen...his strike rate of 84 and average of nearly 50 is highest for any opener in test cricket
Super cameo 36 or whatever he got, before being stumped. Went up a gear after being stumped. I guess if someone gives you a chance - even if it's the 3rd umpire - you've got to take advantage!
