Aravinda De silva was a stylish batsman. He's pretty underrated by today's standards. My dad told me about his batting skills when I was a kid. He used to take down our bowlers despite the venue. He could perform in both home and away series against us. Sad to see what happened to Sri Lanka team. Anyway big fan of De Silva from New Zealand
One of the underrated batsman of all time is ………….. Aravinda De Silva. His innings against India in 1996 WC semis was spectacular. Specially loosing early wickets of Jayasuriya & Kalu he played flawless innings under tremendous pressure👍👍👏👏
He is not under rated bro he is a legendary player Aravinda de Silva was one batsman who was very difficult to get beaten.. bowlers said that aravinda de Silva can hit all six bowls for four.. he used to read the lengths so early
@@UmairSajid Respectfully disagree. Best would always be Warnie. To this date, there is no single bowler who has bowled the doosra legitmately. Saqlain invented it and I would say it was the cleanest doosra that he bowled. Saqqi was unplayable in ODIs. I think he was part of the big spinners league that werent afraid to bowl in last 10 overs. Kumble and Saqqi bowled many time in last 5 overs. Sad that Saqlain didnt play enough test cricket. If these spinners were playing in the last decade, all the Virats and Smiths averages would have taken a hit by at least 6-10 runs
The era when batting & bowling were equal tasks, the time when scoring 250-275 was a biggest thing & scoring 280+ seemed to be a giant chase, a golden age of cricket🏏 for 90's kids like us.
The ball would swing, seam, spin and reverse in 50 overs. Even slow dibly dobly bowlers like Harris, Larsen and Ealham were difficult to get away. Quality spinners in most teams. Batters nightmare to bat after 15 overs.
Well said!The last of quality cricket!games were gripping sometimes till the last over!the 70s 80s and 90s were proper for the development of bowlers, (which made batsmen better in their technique)-can't see it now with the balls and rules being replaced to suit the batsmen.I feel now 'cricket' is going through its leanest phase (not in terms of 'revenue' but in terms of quality)!
Today we dont get excited to see players from all across thr globe together. But back then it was really special and happy moment. Seeing AKRAM celebrating the wicket with high fives from Azhar Srinath DaSilva etc
Hi Kiran, very true.... My birth is 1984 and we are 3 brothers from lahore pakistan... We exactly did the same in our childhood as you described school and cricket.... Your comment remind me all those days❤❤
My childhood best overseas player Arvinda, what a classy batting by him, great match, Asia xi miss 2 more batsaman/allrounder lyk Razzaq or Robbin, Missing sanath & Sachin
Seeing Wasim Akram, Jawagal Shrinath, Venkatesh Prasad, Saqlain Mushtaq, Nikhil Chopra, Anil Kumble, bowling in same team to opponents was nothing less than a treat to eyes. What a match it was.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Arvinda de Silva. WOW! What a stylish player he was! Had every shot in the book. Such control over the pull shot where, those days, almost all of the subcontinent batsmen struggled. Respect. 🙏
All the modern day Batters averaging 50+ in ODIs would struggle to play spin in middle overs of this quality. One white ball, which swung prodigously when new, spun after 25 overs and reversed after 40. Add to that the size of grounds, heavier bats and quality bowlers. No wonder why Averaging 40 was a benchmark of greatness in ODIs during 90s.
Saqlain mustaq was dangerous than warne and murali at the time he played ! He was a serious wicket taker his stats say it all . It’s just that he did not play too much match ! Mustaq , Shane bond , agarkar , dale steyn Donald now rabada , they have picked up fastest 50 or 100 wickets .
Golden days of cricket. ALL INDIAN PAK, SL LEGENDS WE WERE CRAZY TO SEE ALL THESE LEGENDS. CRICKET WAS ON ITS PEAT AT THAT TIME. NO PP. NO BALL CHANGE NO FREE HIT. NO CRICKET IS PATHETIC
Rohit Sharma is puller of mediocre bowlers on today's batting pitches but Aravinda Desilva was the real puller who took on bowlers like Wasim, waqar, Donald, McGrath, Ambrose, Walsh n even Bret Lee
Kumble bowled a great deal in death overs in 90s. Shane warne did the same for Australia. 90s were different, one white ball meant spinners were in the game all the time after 15 overs
Those days when matches were played less so, these matches were the fillers. Today cricket is played throughout the year and with IPL and BBL there is no room for exhibition matches.
Chasing 80 runs in last 10 overs was tough task those days because premier bowlers would be bowling the final 10 overs. The old ball would swing or reverse swing In T20, nowadays batsmen are chasing 120 runs in last 10 overs. ICC made Cricket batsmen friendly. Size of the Cricket ground has reduced throughout the world in last 10 years to see more 4s and 6s. Free hit in ODI is utter nonsense. ICC killed ODI thrill for sake of money. Cricket is business now.
Look at those shots ,back foot pull ,leg side flick ,straight drive , cover drive , square cut ! I have never seen any player playing fast bowlers in Blackfoot so beautifully than Arvinda desilva and inzimam ul Haq ! Desilva and inzimam were better than any batsman in pressure situation ! They have won many games for their country in pressure situations ! Most importantly they were heroes of semi finals and finals of World Cup , they played for their country ! Sad that Lara could not win a world up for his country ! And we consider sachin as god of cricket , he only played for his records ! It was because of Yubraj singh india won the World Cup but they carried sachin tendulkar and marched around the ground ! The only player india should consider hero in recent time is Yubraj singh ! He made this habit of winning abroad , even before Dhoni came !
Wasim Akram rightly named the captain .. He was the player of 90s decade ,, and easily the best player and captain from Asia in 90s .. Sachin might be better if we look overall career but Wasim Akram definitely superior till 2000 !
Wasim was a natural leader, whereas Sachin was not. Sachin was not a strong captain. There is no comparison between Wasim and Sachin in terms of captaincy.
Chasing 220, at one point Asia XI needs 85 runs in 120 balls, with 6 wickets in hand. Then Suddenly ROW came back to the game and won the match by 15 runs. This types of classics can't be seen in this T-20 era.
aravinda at his peak was better batsman than sachin at his peak … infact sachin was not even 80% of aravinda’s class but no disrespect sachin is a great and was consistant and played more matches than aravinda .. aravinda was quick scorer .. in his prime he used walk down the pitch to waqar and wasim in full flow and still manages smash them to boundary is NO ordinary batsman . ONE & only ARAVINDA

All were never underrated. They were all world class

Right 👍
Thanks for the priceless memory to the channel for uploading,no T 20 matches can even get closer to these rare gems.
Why such contests are not organized now a days?? Those were the happy days for Cricket lovers.. Peace and harmony
Nice to see aravinda was batting...pure class...
Awesome days of cricket community....
Big stadium... Great bowler and very talented batsman....
Awesome era.... ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Aravinda de silva was one of the best quality player...his ability to make full and hook shot was amazing
Was there a better death overs spinner than Saqlain? Wow!
And Aravinda looked in supreme form
Chris crains one of the greatest allrounder of all tym...
Heath streak one of the best all rounders excellent game of cricket
Chris Cains ended his career match fixing in shame. He was a great player.

What was Nikhil Chopra doing among the legends lol
Those were the Golden Days with Great Players !!! Cricket has become a JOKE these days !!!

I love to see azharuddin, Srinath and kumble playing under Legendary Wasim Akraam's captaincy apne Wasim Bhai. 🤩🤩🤩
Saqlain's delivery dismissing Nathan Astle was a real beauty.....
Thanks for sharing golden memories of great cricketers
This type of matches is like great grandma of IPL

I came to see Md. azharuddin's batting
This was the time where every team has 3 genuine pacers, 2 skilled spinners and 1-2 allrounders and 3 great batsmen....amazing time..
India had spinners only
javagal srinath was as good as any pacer out there
That run out by Heath Streak vs insane 🔥🔥🔥

Crowd comes into the ground and celebrating…

These type of matches would bring in Unity among the players of different nations.

I like the 90' trademark scoreboard too.
