lolzz... I started watching cricket just when Sanath Jayasurya used to torment our bowlers tournament after tournament, especially Venkatesh Prasad 🤣 Winning against SL from 96 until 99 was a big thing 😆 South Africa always tormented us, whether we played in India or South Africa - sometimes used to wonder, if there was any use for us to place SAF, we were going to lose anyway... so just used to enjoy the batting & enjoy SA bowling - couldn't tolerate SA batting - Kirsten, Hudson, Cullianan, Rhodes, Cronje, Kallis, Klusner = literally tormented our sides. Paul Adams was the only entertainment, with his bowling action. Donald was good to watch for the pace, Pollock for his bowling action.
I supported SA in all matches but against India & Pak mostly. My support was to India first, if India didn't play - then next comes Asian team - either Pak or SL, with Pak being first choice, after Sanath's batting 😆
2007wc I knew from first... this team was gonna lose bad, they had literally 4 openers in the top 4. Sehwag, Ganguly, Tendulkar, Uthappa - they got carried away with the series won against SL back home just before the WC & the qualifiers wins.
Oh, I forgot all the drama with Chappel, Jammy, Tendulkar, Ganguly. It was a mess of a team and thank god BCCI gave the captaincy to a non-legend for the Wt20 in SA. Not that Rahul or Sachin would have takan up the captaicy if offered.
