His short-arm pull and the square cut :notworthy:
Also, his on-drives (slightly towards midwicket rather than straight down) were deadly

Agarkar - in one of the rare matches when he played for India - won the match for us.

:exactly: adhuvaraikkum gaali nu dhaan nenachitrundhen

Agarkar - :lol: Rarest of the rare occassions

I still remember the 97-98 Test series when India was desperately trying to get him out by placing a deep square leg, a deep mid wicket and bowling short deliveries at him... he used to perfectly pull, hook them into the gaps.... Frustration na apdi our frustration namakku... When India toured to SRL(the series where SRL made a record score of 952) in the second test at SSC he scored centuries in both the innings(ennama pull pannuvaaru) and made things worse for us!!!! Vaazhga De Silva !!!

With Aravinda's century, SL almost made up and fell short by just 7 runs, with Aravinda getting run out.

That match was in Colombo.

Prabhu, I stand corrected.

Bala, thanks.

Sorry for posting one on Kapil so late -

One of his fiery innings was for the semi-final in WCC down under against Newzees (remember his hitting the seagull and requesting water?).

The Newze total was not huge but the harakiri of our "batsmen" except Dilip made it appear tough and as if India were losing grip in the match. In came Kapil and handled Hadlee in a way only he can and then it appeared like such an easy game:-)

We didn't have opportunity to watch 1983 world cup live (enjoyed running commentary) but the WCC was live with that new TV in the hostel common room! That was one of the most enjoyed Kapil scores!

PR,

I think he is nicknamed mad max for his love for sports cars.
i remember ranatunga saying this in an interview long back, i am not sure though, he cud've been nick named for his agressive batting style too.
i remember couple of one day matches apart from the 1996 WC semis and finals where he was the man of the match in both semis and finals.

one odi against india, aravainda just rushes to the crease, first ball of chetan sharma ( by his walk, we wud be thinking the ball is going to disappear to the stands), he spoons the first ball to midoff and rushes back to the pavilion.

Another match, he went down the track and tried to hit ambrose out of the park, his bat breaks into two. :lol:

No. It was for his batting

Q:They used to call you 'Mad Max.'

A: It was after the 1986 tour of India that they started calling me Mad Max. I guess it was probably the way I approached the game in the initial stages of my career. I tried to get on top of the bowler right from the start and I believed a lot in myself. I was able to do that at a very young age.

From this interview

Anyone knows what he did in that tour ?

The final is ultimate. No other ODI has been so comprehensively dominated by a single player.

The semi was his match. I don't think I can put it better than this[/url]

Quote:

The match couldn't have begun in more dramatic fashion. Both of India's tormentors were gone in the first four balls, playing mirror-image shots - slashes to third man off Javagal Srinath. But what happened in the next one hour was breathtaking and magical.

Aravinda de Silva batted as if he was in a trance, untouched by the gravity of his team's situation, immune to the roars of a 100,000-strong partisan crowd, and undaunted by the occasion. He was in the zone.

His 50 came off 32 balls and contained 11 fours. Yet there was no trace of violence in it. Not for a moment did it feel manic. Instead, he was a picture of serenity and played the purest of cricket strokes, hitting cleanly and crisply between cover and extra-cover with such precision that fielders were rendered redundant. It inspired Christopher Martin-Jenkins to invoke Nevile Cardus who once said wrote of Reggie Spooner: "He uses the bat as a lady might use her fan."

:lol: I think this was in the Hero Cup
