Shastri is a different case. Started as a bowler batting at #10. Within 2 years was pushed to open against a rampaging Imran in Pakistan and scored 128 in a Test. Followed it a few months later with a 100 in WI v WI, still only 21.
lower Middle order suited him best as he could played a natural aggressive game. So he dropped down from 84-87 and had a good time. Very mature head.
1990 onwards, the musical chairs resumed for opening spot and he came back to open in Eng with big 100s, then in Australia for a double. He outlasted most others in Aus. Definitely with Srikkanth at the other end, he had to hold one end up. Which M/O batsman enjoys coming in at 20-2?
in short, shouldered opening responsibilities when it counted. However could not adapt to ODIs in Aus when the Tests were having him bat in a different vein.

The earliest memory I have of been impressed by a bowler is the 92 WC final.
The one that got Alan Lamb is arguably the best ball I have ever seen by a fast bowler in an ODI. Where did he find the gap, how did he draw Lamb - a force to reckon with back then - forward and how he manage to hold to the line is just breathtaking.
One of the greatest ever from across the border and considering that he was a chronic diabetic, his achievements are awesome. Certain vignettes that immediately flash across
The bowling at the death end in the final of the Australasia cup in April 1986, which literally sent many a stump cart wheeling.
His bowling in the Bangalore test of 1987 in that minefield of the pitch when he claimed those two crucial wickets of Srikanth and Mohinder on the third day.
His big hitting in the 5th ODI of the same series at Gwalior(?)
His 257* and 313 runs partnership with Saqlain at Sheikpura, though against Zimbabawe
Due to some reason or other his not so impressive matches against us in 92, 99 and 2003 WC matches and his mysterious last minute withdrawl in 1996 WC match at Bangalore.
Regards
My favorite bowler. Superb runup too 8-)
My favorite bowler too.
My earliest memories of him are in Sharjah. Specifics ellam marandhu pochu over the years. 92 WC dhaan marakkave mudiyadhu. Lamb and Chris Lewis :notworthy: His action is certainly legit but if you try to mimic it, you will end up chucking :lol: And veetukulla cricket aadumbodhu if you do his action you are most likely to get a yorker!

During his double century innings, an inside edge (IIRC off Grant Flower) hit the ground betwen his feet and stumps and was on its way to hit the stumps. Wasim saw it late and kicked the ball above the stumps :lol: I wish they took a photo of this.
In the Asian test championship ('98) he broke through Rahul Dravid's defence. He got him out lbw the previous ball but the umprire turned it down. The next one was a fantastic ball Dravid couldn't answer.
Veetukulla chucking using rubbe rball/tennis ball/Joy/Arun ice-cream ball.. adhula you can mimic some actions without having a runup/jump.. andha madhiri Wasim Akram madhiri potta kalukke kuri vechu yethalaam!Quote:

I used to shatter his bowling; he thinks that I am a great hitter.
Rubber ball – Chetan Sharma was my favorite bowler when I was very young. Reason: I thought he was the greatest and fastest bowler in the world. In my home I would be running here and there [run-up :lol2:] , shouting “Chetan Sharma is bowling…..”. [Commentary] and with a great speed I released the ball one day, it went straight hit the front doorknob, elevated, broke a peacock doll which was placed above the TV and finally landed on my grandfather who was sleeping in the bed. His “silly”mooku got broken.Anaikku enga appa tin kattitaaru, annayoda Chetan Sharma ellam marandhu pochu!!
