NBKSimha Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 akistan’s Javed Miandad clashed with Australia’s Dennis Lillee in one of the most disgraceful incidents on a cricket field. Lillee and Javed collided as the batsman completed a run during the November 1981 Perth Test. Lillee proceeded to kick Javed on the leg to which Javed reacted angrily, threatening to hit the bowler with his bat. Umpire Tony Crafter stepped between the two as Lillee prepared to have another go at Javed. The blame for the incident was laid on Lillee by many experts. Former Australian captains like Bob Simpson and Ian Chappell condemned Lillee’s behaviour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NBKSimha Posted September 10, 2011 Author Share Posted September 10, 2011 In a decidedly one-sided series, Australia employed eight slip fielders in a one-day international against Zimbabwe at the Harare Sports Club on October 23, 1999. Australia were the world champions and dominant team while Zimbabwe were one of the weaker teams. Never one to miss a chance to show who's boss, Australia employed this extravagantly attacking field. They won the only Test by 10 wickets and all three ODIs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NBKSimha Posted September 10, 2011 Author Share Posted September 10, 2011 Manoj Prabhakar pats Sachin Tendulkar at the end of the Manchester Test match against England on August 11, 1990. The two Indians’ rearguard action saved India the Test with Tendulkar making an unbeaten 119 – his first Test hundred. Tendulkar, 17, thus became the youngest Indian to score a Test hundred, and would go on to claim most batting records in international cricket.

NBKSimha Posted September 10, 2011 Author Share Posted September 10, 2011 Sri Lanka captain Arjuna Ranatunga has a heated conversation with umpire Ross Emerson, who had no-balled Muttiah Muralitharan for throwing in an ODI against England, January 23, 1999, in Adelaide. Ranatunga led his team off the ground and threatened to abandon the tour since Muralitharan’s bowling action had earlier been deemed legitimate by the ICC. Play resumed after 14 minutes. England made 302. Tensions between the teams simmered till the end when Roshan Mahanama was shouldered by captain Alec Stewart. In poetic justice, last-man Muralitharan came out to bat in the final over to hit the winning runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NBKSimha Posted September 10, 2011 Author Share Posted September 10, 2011 February 9, 1980, saw scenes that have rarely been seen on a cricket field. West Indies, on short tour to New Zealand, felt the umpires were biased. In the first Test in Dunedin, Michael Holding knocked over the stumps at the striker’s end after a caught-behind was turned down by umpire John Hastie. “This was not cricket and I didn't have to be part of it. I was on my way to the pavilion, quite prepared not to bowl again, when Clive Lloyd and (Deryck) Murray persuaded me back,” Holding said. Later in the tour, Colin Croft shoulder-barged umpire Fred Goodall while running in to bowl. It marked the lowest point in the cricket relations between the two teams and the only incident where an umpire was assaulted by a player in an international game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rain stopped play when South Africa needed 22 runs off 13 balls. Two overs were lost and according to the much-despised rain rule, the target was reworked to 22 off 1 ball).
