In Lahore in the 1987 tournament, West Indies looked to have the match sealed when Pakistan were left needing 14 runs off the last over, to be bowled by Courtney Walsh. Abdul Qadir landed a few lusty blows and combined it with excellent running to raise visions of a victory. Off the very last ball, with two needed, Saleem Jaffar, the non-striker, could have been run out after he backed up too far, but in a fine gesture of sportsmanship Walsh refused to do so and Pakistan were reprieved. They eventually escaped with a thrilling win, as Qadir squeezed out the remaining runs. The result in the end put West Indies' chances of a semi-final place in jeopardy, though Walsh was deservingly commended for his sportsmanship.
Pakistani cricketers:
Saeed anwar - I like him mainly because he maintained low profile inspite of being the best batsman of his team...while some of his colleagues(his opening partner) were a little over board
Wasim Akram - Enough said.
Hansie Cronje? 96-la recalling Ganguly incident TV-la paathu appadiye pull arichuruchu. Sad ending but I always thought he was a gentleman on the field.
Rhodes, Jayawardene, Astle - Haven't heard/seen anything bad about these guys. Wouldn't that be enough :oops:.
Alistair Campbell did the same in a Sharjah match against India. In fact he asked the bowler not to remove the bails :shock:Quote:

That ODI match - 4th ODI vs India in Baroda, 2000.
The batsman - Mohammad Azharuddin.

Once I recall because Mongia's goof-up, Azhar and Mongia both ended up in the non-striker's end. Dave Richardson collected the throw and waited for Mongia's to sacrifice his wicket. But our man turned away from Azhar and seemed to be observing the audience instead. Richardson then quite reluctantly took the bails off to get Azhar out.
Once Pakistan got an explosive looking Srikkanth out lbw (I thing Srikkanth was captain then). Srikkanth protested saying he had an inside edge. Imran had the decision reversed. Srikkanth promptly edged one to slip next over and got out. :lol:
Considering the principals involved, a whole lot of possibilities!Quote:
