Cricket Web - Features: The Forgotten Tie: 25 Years On

Can't believe 25 years have gone past since that day, still remember Greg Mathews running into bowl to Maninder Singh and the umpire raising his finger in a hurry. It was a perfect result for me as a fan. I didn't want India to lose on that day and did not want Australia to win.

It is a match I will remember for Border's captaincy, infact this is where I became his fan as a leader.

Also, anyone is interested, watch Kapil bat in the first innings. Brutal.

HB, do you remember anything from the ground ?

lol.. I was 3 and a bit.. I remember eating some bananas, watching a few guys get thrown out for crowd trouble and abusing the Aussie fielders and then just standing up and clapping a bunch of times. And a big six by Kapil. That is about it.

Ouch.. For your signature..

BTW, If you plan on watching that documentary. Listen closely to Jones, Waugh and Shastri. The three most entertaining of the lot. Border to an extent and Bright were pretty good too..

Shame that they did not interview Matthews.

Meh, Shastri told a blatant lie when he said that he didn't see the umpire raise his finger. I'll take everything else he has to say with a pinch of salt.

 

[Sanz]

It was recorded 20 years after,cut him some slack. May be was exaggerating the whole situation, as can be seen from his description of events, He got a lot of things wrong there (such as 'AB going for a catch' ) but I would not call it a blatant lie.

Still one of my all time favourite Tests - Deano's innings was the stuff of legend, Kapil rose to the occasion magnificently and Greg Matthews never had a better all-round Test for Australia, yet has always seemingly been overlooked in the aftermath.

Historic stuff.
