In the Asian test championship ('98) he broke through Rahul Dravid's defence. He got him out lbw the previous ball but the umprire turned it down. The next one was a fantastic ball Dravid couldn't answer. |
I guess you are mentioning the 1999 Chennai test Second innings in which Sachin scored 136.... Athulla thaan ithu nadakum....The umpire who denied Dravid's LBW was Steve Dunn..... Athe paradesi thaan Ganguly ku 1 pitch catch a out kuduthuduvaan....
The ball that dismissed Dravid in the second innings to me was the ball of the century.... The LBW appeal was an inswinger to Dravid which would pitch in line straighten and hit him in line which was absolutely plumb.... The next delivery would also pitch in line and Dravid would try to play it within the line with a straight bat but the ball will beat him swinging the other way clipping the outside part of the off stump.... Chance e illa..... Akram was also my favorite bowler....
Asian Test Championship la Dravid was dismissed by Shoiab Akthar and the very next ball he bowled Sachin with a Yorker...... Second innings layum Dravid was dismissed by Akthar if I remember right....and Sachin was runout in a controversial manner.... Steve bucknor thaan ithula villian.... |
He is a notorious "out" umpire (pitched outside leg ku ellam out kuduppaan) aana inga maathi not out kuduthuttaan.
