How often, if ever, is a man of the match awarded to someone on the losing team? Any examples?

While on the quick-question topic, does anyone know of an ODI where the openers were never dismissed, but the side they opened for still lost?

Inzy was man of the match in the first ODI against India, where Pakistan lost - and I think Sachin or Dravid was MoM in the second, where Pakistan won.

hmm, very interesting. If true, does that mean that sachin is not a match winner? and therefore not a great player? Surely to b great u must b a match winner!! :happy:

Come to think of it, in the last series against the mighty paks...sachin never played a match winning inngs. His century in the ODI was in a losing cause and his century in the first ODI wasnt really match winning, rather it was sehwag who won the match with his 309!!


peace :)

Sachins Best innings in a lost game was against Pak in Chenni test in 1999......I think either afridi (141 in secnod test match)or Saqlain (five wickets in each innings)should have been MOM in that game....

I'm sure he is. A cheat and a choker. Should've been dropped years ago, or perhaps banned for cheating?

You have to wonder dont you, Indian bowlers come good after Tendulkar and Dravid are caught red handed cheating by altering the condition of the ball.

Yeah...and the Aussies have obviously found a devious, cunning way to tamper with the ball while eluding detection all this time. I mean ,coz the aussie bowlers have been good for quite some years now, havent they?
