Day by day I'm feeling more blessed that I grew up in THIS ESPN-STAR-TEN-NEO era. Back then even domestic games from Aus/Eng used to be shown LIVE. Archival footage (non India games as well) from even 70s (forget 80s, 90s) were shown. Pre shows were CRICKET CENTRIC & many more...

One (among many) thing I loved very much about Rahul Dravid's batting technique is his ability to defend/block short balls. Used to play with soft hands & always tried to make sure the ball lands close to him rather than pop up. Here's one such example of Shoaib Akhtar's bowling.

Hilarious Cricket Incident! Have you seen anything like this before? @StewieCricket tries to sweep @anilkumble1074 & the ball went in the air, when it was about to hit the stumps keeper Ratra instinctively collected the ball. Stewart got a new life & gave him a pat in the back!😸

Darren Gough plays a switch hit in 1995! 😮 Ian Chappell on air calls it 'unbelieveable!'

India v Pakistan 2007 Bangalore Test: Anil Kumble picked up only 1 wicket in the 1st inn after bowling 44 overs. But he got 5-60 in the 2nd inns but out of that 4 wickets came by bowling medium pace! The pitch had uneven bounce & @anilkumble1074 did something out of the box.

Forgotten Gem Alert: Cuttack 1995. India v New Zealand 2nd Test. Chris Cairns produces a peach of a delivery for which even the most complete batsman in the history of game had no answer. If there is anything called the perfect ball then this is very, very close to that. Enjoy!

Most of you would remember @MohammadKaif 's stunning catch in the Karachi ODI in 2004 but do you remember this one he took also Vs Pakistan next year in Kanpur? This man was simply 👌 back in days when India wasn't one of the best fielding unit in the world.

Rare Gold Alert 18 year old Wasim Akram's Test debut v New Zealand at Auckland 1985. Unseen footage of his first two wickets & also the first ball he faced. @wasimakramlive Hopefully you'll enjoy this one Sir.

Nothing much to see here guys. Just a vintage Sourav Ganguly & Rahul Dravid run out, that's it. 🤣 Dravid's reaction after the Red signal was priceless. Can only wonder what he was thinking! 😅

Aravinda de Silva's brutal pull & hook compilation: Who was the best player of short balls among Asians? Sachin, Dravid, Laxman back then were great but one man stood out. Current gen haven't seen too much of him but here's a collection of pulls & hooks from the Magical MAD MAX🔥

761 International wickets, 5k+ runs @chaminda_vaas was a fantastic cricketer. Could make the ball talk. Have a look at this display of bowling v India at Kandy 2001. SS Das all at sea. Two close LBW shouts turned down & then knocks him over but it turned out to be a no ball.

OLD GOLD from 1996-97 This was Zimbabwe's first ever ODI series win. They beat England 3-0. Till date, I haven't found any footage of this series in the Internet so always wanted to get this & upload for y'all. Finally here you go. I find the kits of both teams very cool too.
