Fans these days wont understand that even without having express pace, you could be an extremely dangerous fast bowler. Salute to bowlers like McGrath and Vaas.
Lara was a legend but man sarvan-chadrapaul duo was so underrated...they were there to rescue windies so many times... They should be right up there in best players windies produced...
I haven't seen a world class batter struggle for so long for nothing. All at sea was Lara against Vaas that day. Aravinda drives, that last over by Collins for 15. Second last over by Murali for 2 were the turning points Special mention: Ram Sarwan, what character he showed that day.... Memorable, memorable, memorable... All those who followed that WC would relate.
Nearly won the game for us. Honestly when i saw it, i thought he was dead. There was a point when one of the SL players lifted his hand up and it dropped right back down as if it was lifeless. Phenomenal effort to come back though
@@juanestadian8471 Even as an indian supporter and a child, I used to like Sarwan a lot after they toured india in early 2000s. I used to tie a handkerchief like his bandana while playing. Still remember my classmates coming upto me and discussing how brave he was to come back and bat.
Man of the match would have been Chaminda Vaas for his all round performance 28* of 25 balls took 1 or 2 catches and bowling spell of 10 overs 3 maidens 4for 22
West indies were unlucky in 2003 world cup. South africa 🇿🇦 ko first match me harane ke baad bhi super six me nahi aayi. Uski wajah srilanka se match haarna and Bangladesh 🇧🇩 se match me rain 🌧 aagayi thi.
Sangakkara wasn't as well established in SL ODI side as Gilchrist was in Australia. Once De Silva retired at the end of this tournament, he was promoted to top of the order.
WELL NO MATTTER WHAT HAPPENS BUT IF I WOULD CONSIDER OR PICK UP ANYONE FROM WINDIES TEAM AS A CHOICE FOR BEING ALL TIME CONSISTENT THEN THAT WOULD BE "CHANDERPAUL" FOR SURE...BECAUSE HE HAS ALWAYS BEEN AN PERFORMER FOR SURE.
this is why we called sachin tendulkar a better batsman than brain lara ... 1 run in 22 balls in world cup do or die match n at the end it reflects on the board
