Cricket at its finest! Both teams were brimming with legendary players. The West Indies boasted a formidable batting lineup with Lara, Gayle, Chandrapaul, and Sarwan. Dismissing Lara in the first few overs was a pivotal moment in the match. Watching Chandrapaul bat always gives me chills, and Sarwan’s remarkable knock after being hit in the head was unforgettable. Sri Lanka was equally impressive, featuring icons like Jayasuriya, Marvan, Hashan, Aravinda, Mahela, and Sanga. Their batting prowess was complemented by the exceptional bowling of Murali and Vaas. We were truly fortunate to witness these legendary matches and the brilliance of these cricketing greats.
From that time to 2015, the golden era of Sri Lankan cricket history. We are waiting for a day when the future of Sri Lanka cricket will be written in golden letters again. For us Sri Lankans, cricket is a religion. We Sri Lankans love our country more than ourselves. 🇱🇰🦁👑
Cricket in those days were really memorable and golden....what we are witnessing now is an artificial cricket and day by day the craze for cricket is sinking
after missing the catch of sarwan of the bowling by aravinda, sanath jayasuriya, the captain didnt talk with marvan atapattu for a week or so. This incident came up by marvan recently. That is how seriously they palyed this game. As a sri lankan im so worried about current Lankan team.
What a bunch of talented players in both sides, Nowdays cant even say name of 5 SL players or 5 WI players, Dont know where we lost the exact magic of cricket....😢
What an over by Murali.. to bowl 49th over and give away just two runs!! These type of clutch situations bring the best out of world class players!! Could you please upload the video where vaas take those 8 wickets.. Edit: big fan of Anirudh kalra from Sri Lanka
Glory days for cricket ! A glittering array of stars in every team and no match could be taken for granted as all sides were competent in their own manner. Australia - undisputed champions South Africa - worthy contenders Srilanka, India - formidable England, West Indies - potent Pakistan, NZ - dangerous Bangladesh, Kenya - rising Zimbabawe - well, they were still there !
One of the greatest World Cup matches in history. Sarwan came back and nearly did the impossible. If the communication in theWI camp had been better, we would have won this game. Shiv was typically playing his anchoring innings but had started to bat with the tail. Nobody in the WI camp told him that Sarwan was coming back so he started to attack as the asking rate was going up ad unfortunately perished doing so. In a different word, Vasbert Drakes would have sacrificed his wicket, Sarwan would have come back and we would have had a better chance at winning
Lankans rely heavily on Sangakara,mahela,murali,vaas,so when these players retired,with no backups suddenly the Lankan team feel heat of international cricket
Phele k matches me ek maholle baana rehta tha...Players k aankho me aggression aur serious rehta tha..Aur pitches bowling batting dono k liye tough hoti thi....170 180 250 me matches jeete jaate the...Commentry bhi next level ki hoti thi..Ab to keval bakchodi hoti hai..Naa vaise hard pitches banti hai naa commentry bhi uss tarike ki hoti hai
