This Day In Cricket History

Three years ago on 3 January 2013, Virender Sehwag played his last ODI in Indian colours. Viru, the Nawab of Najafgarh, played 251 ODI matches scoring 8,273 runs at an average of 35.05 at a strike rate of 104.33.

Quote by Sehwag:- It doesn't matter if you have one billion rupees in your bank account or one rupee. This is one life you get, and you'd rather spend it enjoying whatever you have, rather than thinking, 'Oh, I should have scored seven more runs, or I should get more money.'

Some Quotes On Sehwag By Some Cricket Legends:-


“Sehwag, the greatest slaughterer of bowling since IVA Richards.”
->Former England player DEREK PRINGLE

"Have to say sehwag is the best player in the world to watch FEARLESS.!"
->MICHAEL VAUGHAN

"One of the greatest cricketers India ever had. He is one of the biggest destroyers of spin bowling. Be it Test, one-day or T20, he bats with equal flair. If you see the records, Indian Test cricket have improved tremendously in last 10 years and Viru is a key factor !!"
->Former Chief Selector KIRAN MORE

“By far, Viru is the most dangerous batsman in world cricket.I have always said that on his day, no bowler can stop him.
->Harbhajan singh

"Once he knows it's his day, he ensures he gets a big one. The secret to Sehwag's success is that he keeps things very simple. He just sees the ball and hits it.”
-> ZAHEER KHAN

"I have to learn from Sehwag how to play in the nervous 90's"
->Sachin tendulkar

"No matter how good and experienced you are, he can kill your attitude"
->Brett Lee

"Sehwag is the most unpredictable batsman i have ever seen in my career"

"I would always have sehwag in my team.i want to watch him bat but not bowl to him hahaha"
->Shane warne

We all missed the one and only fastest and aggressive batsman of all time in Indian Cricket. Salute you Sir :c:clap and miss you a lot :'(

6th January 2008 ..
The 'Monkeygate' Test
..
The New Year's Test in 2008 ended
with the result, 'Australia beat India by
122 runs'. However the result was
merely academical as the cricketing
world bore witness to one of the
ugliest controversies - The
'Monkeygate' scandal. An allegation
that Harbhajan Singh had racially
abused Andrew Symonds
overshadowed Australia's 16th
straight Test win. Harbhajan was
suspended for three Tests but was the
punishment was later reduced to 50%
match-fee fine after reports emerged
that India had threatened to Boycott
the tour. The match also witnessed
several dubious umpiring decisions
with the most critical involving 'Player
of the match', Andrew Symonds, who
had edged an Ishant Sharma delivery
to the keeper, but was declared not-
out by umpire Steve Bucknor. He went
on to make an unbeaten 162 to help
set up the Test match for Australia. The 'Monkeygate' Test - This day That Year - Cricbuzz

SACHIN.R.TENDULKAR hit 148* against Australia at Sydney on 6th January 1992. It was his 2nd test century and 1st against Australia. At the age of 18 he has created a new record of very youngest cricketer to score hundred in overseas :clap:clap:clap. Still many youngest cricketers are trying to mark their landmark in history but can't yet :'(.

7th January 2011..
Cook inspires historic Ashes win
..
On this day in 2011, England
completed an innings win over
Australia in Sydney, thereby
completing a 3-1 win series win, their
first in Australia after 24 years. The
architect of the win was Alastair Cook
who notched up a fabulous 189 in the
first innings as England, responding to
Australia's 280 all-out, notched up a
mammoth 644. There were centuries
also for Ian Bell and Matt Prior as
Australia bowled 178 overs. In their
second essay, Australia scored one
more than what they achieved in their
first, as Jimmy Anderson added 3 more
wickets to the four he had taken in the
first innings, to condemn the hosts to
an innings and 83 run defeat. Alastair
Cook, who aggregated 766 runs in the
five-match series, was duly named the
player of the match and the series.
