Quick Poll

Sachin

Gilchrist

Mark Waugh
Greatbatch

[Riyazz]

voted for sehwag :thumbsup:

[Maniraj]

Sachin - The Great :notworthy:

[MADDY]

thats ok, Plum - i just wanted to know the "reason" for sachin's selection.........

[19thmay]

I request all Sachin fans to ignore this poll. That also gives a result!

[Plum]

illai Maddy - indha forumla apdi enna dhAn Sachin majority irukkunnu pArthuduvOmE.
Already 1 vote for Sehwag. 1 more from Sourav guaranteed.

This might end up as not the biggest margin in the polls so far - and that itself will be underwhelming!

Puli, when Sachin's place in a team in any form of the game is kosteened, I am not for it. I have better forums to discuss cricket matters where people dnt ask kosteens just for the sake of it.

Maddy, let me rephrase my post - For me, Sachin is beyond comparison and would walk im any team without Poll / Survey etc. If somebody asks why Sachin is selected in a team without Poll, I am not for it.
BTW, can u explain "flexing muscles to get things done". Who is trying to flex muscles and what they are trying to achieve?
Even u had mentioned abt boycott / odhungifying. So, it was u who tried to flex muscle and get things done enbadhu IMO :)

thats not concerning u actually and not abt boycott or sobers, honestly.........any opposing opinion is not welcome and mocked at in name of fanatism with backing from administrators - anyways, i think ive made my point very clearly - i leave the rest to interpretation

Maddy ur points taken and understood, though I disagree with 1st one (Reg: Sachin). That's why I said am quitting this place.

2nd point fully agree. Thats why I had quit few other threads.

[MADDY]

sachin gets to a position just because he has most fans in the section and any questions directed at this process is met with a considerable amt. of personal references (direct&indirect) and backing by MODs........this is what i meant.....

Sathya - naan sachin-a avamana padathannum-ngra ennamellam illa - there wasnt a proper discussion even and selecting sachin without discussion felt as if "unkitta ellam ennada ketkaradhu"..........i know that was not the intent of Plum and sridhar but thats how it looks to me......i dont even post regularly in this section - neenga dharalaama ingaye irukkalaam :)

I don't see the discussion getting personal today. I repeat again, Sachin is selected without poll because what he had done in ODIs, not because he has most number of fans in this forum. Even PR was saying he couldn't see why Sachin shouldn't be selected unanimously. Where were the personal references and Mods backing you are talking about?

[littlemaster1982]

You know Plum and Sridhar had no such intentions and still look things the other way :huh: I feel like parroting here, but there is not much to discuss about selecting Sachin. This is like discussing about who is the best MD after 90's ;)

[Puliyan_Biryani]

Maddy,

1. Sachin-kellaam muscles flex pannanum-nukooda avasiyame illai. 'thalaivar paduthukkitte jeyippaaru'. And you know this too.

2. LM's reaction on this is perfectly understandable. Fan following irukkaradhaale Sachin-ku exception-nu illai. It is the other way around. Since Sachin is exceptional he has got such fan following. And having a poll to confirm that would have been a pointless excercise (as per Plum & 19 and I would echo the same). appadiye poll vachurundhaalum, biceps kaattaradhukkaaga poll vachaangannu sollalaam. Sachin fans ennadhaan pannanumnu neengale sollunga.

3. You can react the same if Akram gets questioned. Even though I am a fan of Akram/Warne, I wouldn't feel aggreived or anything if they are not selected unanimously. In fact having a poll for Akram/Warne is the best thing as that will confirm their marana mass (similar to Lara's show of mass for No.3 slot).

[raajarasigan]

[littlemaster1982]

but why you don't want the poll for sachin? anyway, let show the world that he is the best with the poll..have the same process for him also...

As I said, it's pointless. Sachin is miles ahead of any opener in ODIs and seeing him contest in a poll with the likes of Dilshan is more than embarassing.

[MADDY]

Maddy, can u quote examples where there was personal insults because somebody spoke against Sachin / raised a point or kosteen against him?

Sathya - again, i didnt say that - look what ive said:


sachin gets to a position just because he has most fans in the section and any questions directed at this process is met with a considerable amt. of personal references (direct&indirect) and backing by MODs

there is a lot of difference between what i have said and what u thought i said, illaya :D ........

instance:
1. ur own post which says some people ask questions for the sake of it
2. LM's saying that anyone choosing other than tendulkar is not following cricket properly.......
3. Sridhar made a reference that im being sensitive
4. Plum says i always argue for "exclusions"
5. Maniraj's post

these are not insults but references which are totally irrelevant to arguement

MOD's backing:
1. P_R saying the method is right before even discussing - also tell me how many sachin fans are warned or their post is deleted even when they make direct personal remarks.....

[raajarasigan]

In fact having a poll for Akram/Warne is the best thing as that will confirm their marana mass (similar to Lara's show of mass for No.3 slot).this is what we are asking for sachin as well... show the same marana mass with a poll...

[Plum]

Warne ellAm Sachin rangeku chance-E illai. I count that as an insult. Warne benefitted from playing a lot against England and weak players of spin. idhAnE vENANgaradhu - lanela sindhu.

Akram is a proven match fixer and cannot match Sachin's stature

Considering only my posts (Dnt want to talk abt / for others)
Ur points were - Nobody is an exception to poll process. Also, u talked abt odhungifying for reasons of some of ur fav players (IIRC u said this for Mo Yo) may lose out in the process.

My point was, if somebody is refusing to accept 1+1 = 2 (Read: Sachin being selected in a team without a poll), I am not willing to stay in that place. That somebody may refute this equation / fact / opinion or whatever. But, for me, discussion on such lines is meaningless and they are done just for the sake of it.

Also, what is the meaning of "personal references" in ur statement? I can understand if somebody says personal insults. But, indha referenec matter pureela.

[Plum]

I dont have problems with a poll for Sachin. This is a democratoc nation - mahatma gandhiyE vandhAlum poll-la jeyichu dhaan MP aaga mudiyin.

In fact having a poll for Akram/Warne is the best thing as that will confirm their marana mass (similar to Lara's show of mass for No.3 slot).

Lara-kku poll venum aana sachin-kku venaam - i find the logic uneasy..........
Am I imagining or are you actually implying that we are afraid of Sachin losing the poll?

And wrt to the logic, Lara is a great player no doubt but is he consistent in ODIs? He is behind Sachin in that aspect. Lara had good competitor for No.3 slot in Ponting and hence a poll made a lot of sense. IIRC, LM wanted Ponting for No. 3 but look what happened in the end.

[Puliyan_Biryani]

Flum, wrt your analogy, appovum Gandhi-dhaan win pannuvaaru (500,1000 roova nottulla irundhukittu) :wink:.

[P_R]

1. P_R saying the method is right before even discussing - also tell me how many sachin fans are warned or their post is deleted even when they make direct personal remarks.....

As I have explained many times: my role is 'prAdhu kuduthA pArppEn'. Largely because I have a thick skin and expect most others also to.

Nearly nothing as such ever strikes me as offensive and almost always depends on people and context. Some things are blatant transgressions inadmissible in any context (like poor taste cussing). These are perhaps the only situations where I intervene suo moto.

[Plum]

IMO, no other slot has as undisputed a choice as opener with Sachin.
Akram comes the closest.

[littlemaster1982]

instance:
2. LM's saying that anyone choosing other than tendulkar is not following cricket properly.......


I asked you one simple question: "Do you think there are two opening batsmen better than Sachin" and you answered no. Then where is the personal reference against *you*? I was talking about anyone who thinks there are better openers than Sachin.

Why are you refusing to accept Sachin doesn't have any competitors in opening? If I ask this, is that a personal attack/reference (or whatever you call it)?

[P_R]

Akram comes the closest.

Ningale podathappo naanum podalai. But still if anybody wants to vote for sachin here are the reasons.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Achievements_of_Sachin_Tendulkar#ODI

Most runs in an ODI Innings: Sachin Tendulkar holds the record for maximum number of runs scored in one ODI innings. He is the only batsman to score 200 runs (147ball 25x4 3x6) in an ODI against South Africa.[11][12]

Most runs: 17,598 Runs at the rate of 45.12 runs for every time he has gotten out (as of 18 October 2010). He is the leading run scorer in the ODI format of the game and the only player ever to cross the 14,000-15,000-16,000 and 17,000 run marks.

First player to reach 10,000-11,000-12,000-13,000-14,000-15,000, 16,000 and 17,000 ODI runs.

Holds the record for scoring 1,000 ODI runs in a calendar year. He has done it seven times - 1994, 1996, 1997, 1998, 2000, 2003 and 2007

Tendulkar has scored over 1000 ODI runs against all major Cricketing nations.

Tendulkar is the only batsman to score over 3000 runs against any opponent (Australia). Tendulkar is also the only batsman to achieve the feat runs against two opponents - Sri Lanka is the other team.

After Sachin crossed the 10,000-run mark in ODIs, only seven other players have managed to cross the milestone: (Sanath Jayasuriya, Sourav Ganguly, Rahul Dravid, Ricky Ponting, Brian Lara, Inzamam ul Haq, and Jacques Kallis).

Sachin was the fastest to reach 10,000 runs taking 259 innings and has the highest batting average among batsmen with over 10,000 ODI runs

Tendulkar has scored 1833 runs in finals; Tendulkar also ranks very high in terms of all-time averages in finals: among those who've scored at least 1000 runs in finals, only three have a higher average. One of them is India's current coach, Gary Kirsten - in 20 innings, he scored 1019 runs at an excellent average of 69.73. Tendulkar's stats are very similar to those of Viv Richards, who averaged 55.73 at a strike rate of 84.78 in 17 finals.

Tendulkar holds the record for the highest individual score in a One Day International when he scored 200 not out breaking the previous record of 194 in the India v. South Africa ODI on 24 February 2010. This also saw him become the first male cricketer in the planet to score a double century in a One Day International. Earlier Belinda Clark has scored 229* in women cricket.

Tendulkar holds the record for the most fours ( boundaries ) in an innings. He hit 25 fours in the innings against South Africa on on 24 February 2010 when he scored double century.

Only player to score 5, 150+ (186*, 152, 163*, 175 and 200*)scores in ODI cricket, followed by Sanath Jayasuriya of Srilanka with 4, 150+ scores in ODI

Centuries and Fifties record:

Most centuries: 46
Only cricketer to ever score a double hundred in the ODI format - against South Africa at Gwalior, India.

Most centuries against an opponent - 9 vs. Australia.
Most centuries vs. Australia, South Africa, Kenya, Sri Lanka, Zimbabwe and Pakistan.

Most centuries in Final Matches 6 & India Win All Matches
Most centuries against One Team - Australia 20 (11 test+9 ODI)
Most Fifties: 93.

Highest number of 50+ scores in ODIs - 139 (46 Centuries and 93 Fifties).

Only player to have over 100 innings of 50+ runs along with Ricky Ponting

Most Fifties in World Cup Matches(13)

ODI awards:

Most Man of the Match Awards: 61 Man of the Match Awards
Most Man of the Series Awards: 15 Man of the Series Awards

Calendar Year record:

Most ODI runs in a calendar year: 1,894 ODI runs in 1998.
Most Centuries in a calendar year: 9 ODI centuries in 1998

Partnership Records:

Sachin Tendulkar with Sourav Ganguly hold the world record for the maximum number of runs scored by the opening partnership. They have put together 6,609 runs in 136 matches that includes 21 century partnerships and 23 fifty run partnerships.[13]

The 20 century partnerships for opening pair is also a world record.
Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid hold the world record for the highest partnership in ODI matches when they scored 331 runs against New Zealand in 1999 at the LBS, Hyderabad[14]

Sachin Tendulkar has been involved in six 200 run partnerships in ODI matches - a record that he shares with Sourav Ganguly and Rahul Dravid.[15]

Most runs (1,796 at an average of 59.87 as on 20 March 2007) in World Cup Cricket History including 4 centuries & 13 fifties with a best score of 152* against Namibia in 2003 world cup
673 runs in 2003 Cricket World Cup, highest by any player in a single Cricket World Cup

Player Of The World Cup Tournament in the 2003 Cricket World Cup.

523 runs in the 1996 Cricket World Cup at an average of 87.16, making him the highest run scorer in the 1996 World Cup and setting the then record for the highest runs by any player in a single Cricket World Cup - subsequently bettered by himself in the 2003 World Cup



I request all Sachin fans to ignore this poll. That also gives a result!

Yeah, naan indha therdhalai purakkanikkiren.

[directhit]

Why laughing :roll: I would say Ponting gives a tough competition to Lara for No.3. Agree/disagree?
LM, sirichadhu not even half bit kku...

Just to bring to context this whole discussions, Maddy wanted to know why Sachin was selected without polls since every position is being done with polls and i too dont see any harm in having one for Sachin as well - whether he wud win 50-0 or 100-0 wud be immaterial anyways..
I dont understand the logic behind 'its insulting to keep a poll for him' argument when you guys reject the same for other players... that's why i put in my point about Lara. I find it insulting to have a poll for Lara and infact dont even remember if i voted for him (havent voted for any of the positions IIRC) in the poll.. same would be applicable for bowlers, Akram kellam pollaa nu Maddy kepparu, I would back Ambrose.. others wud have many more options - why cant we have the poll - we perhaps might have Venkatesh Prasad as one of the options, but who cares!!
I do agree on the point of a worthy competitor. Ponting is there for #3 and perhaps no opp of that calibre is available for openers (with two slots being available!). But Dilshan laam poll la irukkan insulting is a biased argument illaya?! coz we had Martin/Yousuf etc for #3.. it wasnt a poll with just Lara and Ponting at #3 citing worthiness.. if we had just two choices for the poll for #3 i agree we cud have perhaps done away with the poll for #1 (with the other opener selected)..

RK :P

Nerd, you can lol all you want at the choice but IMNSHO Lara wud walk into any ODI/Test team post 90's 8-)

[Vivasaayi]

Directhit....The reasons are

1)In , ODI's Lara is nowhere comparable to Sachin and people like jayasurya have done far better than Lara. Ponting has a better record than Lara in ODI's.

2)Sachin in undeniably the greatest ODI player ever - now after 90's.. :huh:

3)Akram may face serious competition from ambrose, mcgrath ..which is not the case with Sachin.

4) Its a privelage that ONLY sachin have and dont expect Lara's and others to to have the same privelage and be holded in the same esteem in ODI's.

[tscii:60d5bd4ecc]Repeat
Rule: all positions need a poll because opinions differ fairly evenly in favour of various candidates
Exception: #1 doesnt need a poll because opinions cannot differ that big here - even sehwag fans vote sachin and in general, even ian chappell, as biased as they can get, cannot deny sachin's'undisputed choice.

This is a classic case of an exception proving the rule - and it is not without reason that such a concept exists among learned and wise folks from whom we ordinary mortals can learn - in that, the exceptional case is unique and represents a polarisation of opinion of thew scale that is normally impossible. Therefore, barring such extraordinary cases, poll is necessary is proven by this very special case.

Exception proving the rule enbadharku idhu dhaan arththam

From your arguments maddy, it seems to me that you do not get this concept. No offence, for this also means that i havent articulated the concept well enough(maybe feeyaar can). This is not a personal référence - just an observation.

To me, exception proving a rule is an important concept because very often i see people taking this exception and thinking they have disproven the rule. [/tscii:60d5bd4ecc]

pointe adhuthan!..Lara is not worthy of a "unopposed candidate" in ODI's. People like Aravindha,Ponting are there and the fact that Lara is not the best One down player in ODI's ...I dont find the reson behind this point at all...

If at all Lara has proved to be the best ODI one down - I am damn sure that he would have been selected without a poll..considering his reputation in Test matches/Cricket...

If there is no warne - murali is unoppsed
If there is no murali - warne would be unopposed spinenr in the side...simple!

but ippo as there are two greats - a poll would obviously be put up if the combination requires just one spinenr and three pacemen.

If the combination requires two spinners in the team - I am damn sure that warne and murali will be selected without a poll.

Who said that? Now this is what you call twisting the arguments.



point - Lara great-ngradhunaala, did u just compare him with ponting - ella chinna pasangaloda dhaane poll vechhaanga - lara fans-kku mattum idhu insulting illaya

There are many players who have done better than Lara in no.3 position. Ponting has almost 3 times of runs of Lara. Whichever way you look at it, Lara's stature in ODIs is significantly lesser. To be fair to Lara, he had accomplished much more in tests and was always expected to replicate the same in ODIs. That's a burden he has to live with.

[littlemaster1982]

LM, i remember that match. Arthurton and all :lol:

Not just Bhajji. Not many spinners would have pulled that off in a similar situation. Warne patthi pesa vendiyadhu niraiya irukku. Andha therdhal-la pesuvom :)


Granted those but his overall ODI record is not that compelling, imo.

Worldcup knockout performance mattum vechu pArthA, Ponting will be greater than Sachin
:violently_disagree: to that.

Even I don't remember how many wickets Warne had taken in ODIs. I just think him as a worthy contender for a lone spinner spot.

[MADDY]

instance:
2. LM's saying that anyone choosing other than tendulkar is not following cricket properly.......


I asked you one simple question: "Do you think there are two opening batsmen better than Sachin" and you answered no. Then where is the personal reference against *you*? I was talking about anyone who thinks there are better openers than Sachin.

Why are you refusing to accept Sachin doesn't have any competitors in opening? If I ask this, is that a personal attack/reference (or whatever you call it)?

i felt, asking for a poll itself was from someone who doesent understand cricket......i always would like to keep the arguements abt subject and not personal preferences or capability of people arguing it........

sachin doesent have any competitors in opening - ok........LM, i feel sachin should also come under process/rules and u guys feel he is beyond that.........i really dunno how to resolve this...... :)

Nope!..Lara/Others is not THAT great(ODI ODI) apdingradhuthaan vishayam..If bradman is selected right away for number 3 in Tests - It doesnot mean there are no other greats in Test Cricket.It just means that Bradman is considered the greatest batsman in the Test History.

Adheethaan ingayum!

[littlemaster1982]

Maddy,

There is a difference between understanding cricket and following cricket regularly. And it was never intended to refer you or anyone in this forum.

I don't understand the need of a poll for selecting Sachin when it is established that he is the greatest ODI opener of all time. You bring someone similar for any position and ask for unanimous selection, now that's fair.

If you haven't noticed, I am arguing that Bevan should be an automatic choice for batting at 6.

I have voted for Sehwag at #1. Sachin is best at #2 and not at #1 is my opinion. Further Sehwag has scored 5 100s and 16 50s at a strike rate of 101.5 but with a lesser average of 31.88. As I have looked at the strike rate and more 100s and 50s scored by Sehwag because of more no. of matches played by him, I have voted. Since Sridhar has tagged the voters for Sehwag as 'Sachin haters' and further the talk of cricket following made me to post this even though it was mentioned at me.

Just look at #1 position alone.

just quoting from feddy's post... no time to search ganguly;s stat etc... this stat itself enough to get a spot in this poll i feel.


Ningale podathappo naanum podalai. But still if anybody wants to vote for sachin here are the reasons.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Achievements_of_Sachin_Tendulkar#ODI

After Sachin crossed the 10,000-run mark in ODIs, only seven other players have managed to cross the milestone: (Sanath Jayasuriya, Sourav Ganguly, Rahul Dravid, Ricky Ponting, Brian Lara, Inzamam ul Haq, and Jacques Kallis).

Partnership Records:

Sachin Tendulkar with Sourav Ganguly hold the world record for the maximum number of runs scored by the opening partnership. They have put together 6,609 runs in 136 matches that includes 21 century partnerships and 23 fifty run partnerships.[13]

The 20 century partnerships for opening pair is also a world record.
Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid hold the world record for the highest partnership in ODI matches when they scored 331 runs against New Zealand in 1999 at the LBS, Hyderabad[14]

Sachin Tendulkar has been involved in six 200 run partnerships in ODI matches - a record that he shares with Sourav Ganguly and Rahul Dravid.[15]

For #5 and #6, I am open to considering only all rounders for #6 or include Bevan among allrounders for #6.

LM - how do you want it? Do you want to nominate Bevan for #5 accepting that #6 will be an all rounder slot

Or will you nominate Bevan for #6 even if we mark that as a medium pace allrounder slot?

Maddy, you were waiting to say this, weren't you?

This is provocation. That even the worst family enemy of Sachin will agree that Sachin HAS to be selected as opener in any all time XI is a given. If someone denys this, his cricketing knowledge has to be questioned. Sorry about that.
What reasons from Steve? That he cannot be #1 - who said this poll is for the striker facing the first ball? Even in real matches, Selectors and captain only select opening combinations - they cant dicate who faces first. Several instances have happened where the designated #1 goes to non striker end in a last minute agreement with the partner. So, using that as a basis to create anti-sachin case is :lol:. idhukku nInga adhai oru reasonA quote vERA paNdrInga!

I understood your need to conduct a poll so I helped with that. Using that to say your point is proven that Sachin is not an unanimous choice is cynical.

[littlemaster1982]

Bevan is best fit for #6. I would like to nominate Bevan for #6 even if it is marked for allrounders. Is allrounder really a must in this team? Just asking.

LM and Sridhar,

One of the openers should be Sachin is my opinion. But when it comes to #1 position, then my priority on strike rate and no. of 100s and 50s made me to vote for him. Nothing else. But for that 'Sachin Haters' and 'kaRuppu Adu' is unnecessary. I am following cricket thoroughly from the toss itself. That's why I've voted for Sehwag. :P

Steve,

As I said #1 doesn't necessarily mean Sachin will always take the strike. Sachin is fixed and the contest is for the other opener. In this case, I would take it as you selected Sehwag as Sachin's batting partner. Fine? ;)

[P_R]

We have Sachin, de Silva, Jayasuriya and (possibly) Steve Waugh as part time bowlers. So we can afford to go for a pure batsman too.

Sachin faced the first ball of the innings (i.e he took the strike) in these matches: vs Pak (http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/65268.html), vs SL (http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/65278.html) & vs Aus (http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/65286.html). So he is #1 batsman here.

Normally Sachin doesn't take the strike when he opens (Ex: vs Namibia (http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/65257.html)). In this case, he is the #2 batsman.

Hope this is clear.

Micheal bevan is the best no.6 with bradmaneque average of 53.58- is he a automatic choice - NO??

sachin is miles ahead of other openers and the difference between sachin and other openers>>>>>akram/bevan and their competitors but i sincerely* feel same rules should be set for all......

anyways, what started as questioning the process has ballooned into such a big arguement.....however, i agree to feddy's point that it does tantamount to unneccessary questioning of a good work done by Plum/Sridhar........so i would like to stop here, provided there are no more questions brought in........

Sehwag is much more successful as a opener in tests than ODIs. In fact, people were scratching their heads why Sehwag wasn't getting high scores regularly when the format is most suited for his style. Only after his comeback, he is playing much better in ODIs.

no- i dont accept sayasurya and all - it had to be sachin-gilchrist or sachin-sehwag for me, anyday......since gilchrist was missed from this poll, i voted for sehwag....

Just curious, for whom did you vote in the other thread (batting partner for Sachin)?

i was disappointed that gilly lost out but i didnt vote i think

i honestly dont remember voting, u can request the voters list from P_R and maybe check.........

So your choice was Gilly in that thread, right? And you voted for Sehwag in this thread, which means you want Gilly-Sehwag combination. Engaiyo idikkudhey :?

That time Sachin was decided as an opener and he would have voted for Gilly. Ippo neenga marubadiyum 2nd opener ku poll aarambinga, yaarukku vote podraarunnu paaklaam.

No.7 la i don't think he will be that effective. Yuvraj/ Bevan or even Dhoni are better.

I am itching to get into Murali vs Warne with Feeyar :devil:

As I said I am not even going to get drawn into a comparison of the effectiveness.

Ok shall we close this dhreat now and get back to business with nember 5?

[ajithfederer]

Jayasurya has already been selected as one of the openers through polling process(don ask me if it is 1 or 2). So this poll is for the remaining spot.

[P_R]

(don ask me if it is 1 or 2). :lol:
under 14 ellAm viLayAdumbOdhu, opening bowler (overage) dhadi maadu maadhiri irundhA, the cleverer of openers will choose to be the nonstriker. But the reprief will be shortlived as the strike will be rotated almost immediately.

But, it was widely attributed Greatbatch started the trend. I mean, everyone took notice of that tactic only after 92 WC. Jayasuriya and Kalu took it to a different level in 96 WC. Idhukku naduvuladhan Sachin 94-la opening irangi dhuvamsam panna aarambicharu. Idhaan history :P
92 World Cup-la Indhiyaa-na udane nyabagam varradhu - Srikkanth's shot against Patel-dhaan :lol:. paavam Anandha Vikatan-la ellaam manushanai kichaas joke-ku nallaa use pannittaainga.

Another comedy was South Africa needing 22 runs of 1 ball. IIRC, Kumudham's 6 vidhyaasam had a joke like this "P1: avanga edhukku umpire-kooda sandai podaraanga. P2: mazhai vandhadhaale 1 ball-la 251 run adikka sonnaaraam" :rotfl:
