RAHUL DRAVID : " The Wall"

When cricket fans and followers will talk about batting technique there always be one name : Rahul Dravid. There is no one more picture perfect in cricketing batting technique than the Indian wall. Even though there are cracks on this wall in recent past but no one can deny the quality and ability of this man. Even after ages of cricket whenever any one will talk about a perfect flawless batting action the first image that will pop up will be of the Wall.

Saurav Ganguly: Dada gives back at Lords

I am the biggest fan of this moment. Some experts criticized it as an emotional outburst of a captains vengeance but for 1 billion Indians this was a symbol of changing attitude of Indian cricketers. This is one of the most unforgettable cricketing moment for me when i saw for the first time in my life an Indian captain showing aggression, giving it back to the rowdy arrogant English cricketers in their own language. This match was not just another victory but beginning of an era where young Indian cricketers under the leadership of most determined and aggressive Indian captain started answering back the Aussies and the Britishers in their own language not just verbally but through their performance. No Indian can forget this moment and i am sure not even Andrew Flintoff ;)

Jonty Rhodes: Super Man of Cricket

The fielding standards in international cricket has increased manifolds. There is a tough competition to decide who is the best fielder in the world but it is undeniable that if in the history of cricket there is one name which is undoubtedly unmatchable then it is Jonty Rhodes. No cricket lover can forget this super man act run out of Jonty Rhodes. Most of the time this guy was seen in air than on field. The only cricketer ever who was given man of the match for a fielding performance when he became a part of 6 dismissals.

Brian Lara: The best Test Match Inning

A man who couldn't do justice to his talent. The greatness of this batsman can be identified just from a simple fact that he is the only batsman of this era who could be compared with The God of Cricket " Sachin Tendulkar". Definitely one of the best batsman in test cricket who created a world record for maximum runs in test cricket. He held the record for almost a decade when Mathew Hayden broke it. The great man couldn't take it and even in days when he wasn't in best of his career he did what no one has ever done. He again broke the record of Hayden and became the first and only batsman to score 400 runs in a Test Match.

Javed Miadad: Jumping Jack

India and Pakistan match is always the most awaited. This match definitely gets the highest TRPs and highest heart failures ;). This is considerably the biggest rivalry in the game of cricket. A game which is beyond just a game, a matter of pride, a matter of vengeance and a matter of almost a world war. Always a power packed event with on field drama that adds to cricket. No matter how many times the players have sledged , how many times they had been involved in fights, this event when Javed Miadad started jumping like a jack ass :) will always be remembered by the cricket followers. No idea what got inside him at that moment but definitely that goes into the cricketing book for most idiotic act on cricketing field.

Murlitharan : 800 test wickets

Some termed him as chucker, some called him cheater but the fact will always remain that he could do something that no one else could do. Before i can say anything about him just one question can any one else in this world who claim that chucking gave extra help to murli, take half the wickets this guy managed? I am a cricketer and i know even if i chuck completely i can't because it takes more than just action to be someone like murli. He has fire in his belly, superb control and a will to fight for a nation which was once considered as a weak, minnow cricketing nation that later won a world cup in style. The feat of taking 800 wickets in Test Match by this legend was definitely once a lifetime cricket moment. This moment definitely gets into the book of top 10 cricket actions and moments ever.

If there can't be any other sachin in cricket definitely there can't be any other Murli as well

Paul Adams: The Funniest Bowling Action

There came many bowlers who sling, many who chuck and many who had some wierd action but for all those who witnessed this South African frog like bowler Paul Adams, they definitely will agree that this was the funniest bowling action that no other bowler can match. As a die-hard cricket fan i have copied quiet perfectly the bowling actions of almost all the bowlers but never could copy this man without a sprain in my neck, back, arm and every part of my body ;).

How often a bowler create an international buzz without any cricketing achievement but for bowling action. If you don't believe me then watch the following image. For me watching Paul Adams bowl definitely stands in the top 10 cricket moments one can never forget.

Sachin Tendulkar: The God of Cricket scoring 200 in One Day International

• If Cricket is a religion then this little master called Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar is the God. I am proud that i lived in the era of this greatest cricketer ever. For all those who have seen him bat they can proudly say to their coming generations that they witnessed the GOD OF CRICKET. If today we start listing the world records this man has made in international cricket then it would be difficult to list them all.

• DO YOU KNOW??? every single run that Sachin makes today is a new world record. He holds almost all the records for batting in international cricket (specially in One day international). He has given so many memorable moment that it is difficult to choose one. This gives me an idea to write a blog featuring all records of Sachin Tendulkar and his most memorable moments. However it was his 200 runs in one day international scored against South Africa that no one will ever be able to forget. This one man in India has become even bigger than cricket today. A child of nation, he has given more smiles to fathers than their own sons. He is one person that every mother in India love as much as they love their own kids.

• Sachin's 200 runs in one day international is first and only double century in limited overs and truly the best feat achieved by anyone in limited edition. For me this stands out as the number 1 moment in International Cricketing history

Yuvraj Singh: 6 sixes in 1 over

• This punjab da puttar has power and style. Everyone knew that this man can hit the ball hard but what he did was something which no one had ever done. Yuvrah Singh aka Yuvi is a brave heart but his gladiator inning came in one of the biggest tournament that India had ever won after 1983 World Cup. The first ever T20 World Cup International , where he scored 6 sixes in one over i.e 6 balls of one of the finest bowler Stuart Broad of England.

• This definitely stands out as one of the finest moment of international cricket T20 format. The funny part of the story is that yuvi himself was hit for 5 sixes by an English cricketer few days back and this was the best reply one could give that too in style and on bigger occasion. India always believe in replying back to English team in style i think ;)

Shoeb Akhtar : Rawal Pindi express

• Once Waqar Younis one of the best pakistani bowler ever said that Shoeb Akhtar should be called as "Shoeb Actor" as he acts more on field than bowling. He is the controversy kid and have always been more popular for reasons other than cricket. I am definitely not the biggest Supporter for Pakistani Players ;)

• Well this one you can say is my biased choice. I am a fast bowler and this man no matter what had been for me the symbol of fire and aggression for a fast bowler. He is definitely not the best of the bowlers in International cricket but definitely he is the most exciting bowler ever. No other bowler in International cricket have been as exciting as him. He is a perfect devil that every fast bowler should be. His close competitor Brett Lee confessed " once i was facing Shoeb Akhtar, he started his run up and i could see a devil coming. he was as dark and fearful as death. I was sure that he will kill me today and he bowled a yorker. everyone appealed for leg before but umpire refused. I was the most unhappy man as i thought i have to face him again". I am not very sure if you readers will agree with me but this tall dark devil definitely comes in my list of top 10 cricket moments you can never forget as i really believe those who hasn't seen him bowl have missed out an unforgettable sight
