first team to break the 400 barrier in an one-day
international on Australian soil. And what did

Why 4, when 6 is more?
Who is X?
Zimbabwe’s first ODI match in history was
against a well-established Australian side, with
no player having had previous experience of
one-day cricket at the highest level. The 1983
World Cup match will not just be remembered
for Zimbabwe's first win in an ODI. It will also be
remembered for the genius of captain 'X', the
man that scripted it, hitting 69 not out and then
taking 4 for 42.
Duncan Fletcher
Identify X and Y
The first ever hat-trick in a World Cup match
was taken by Player X in 1987.
In the same match, another legendary batsman
Y scored the lone century of his ODI career.
X - Chetan Sharma
Y - Sunil Gavaskar
Identify A,B,C,D
2003 – Despite Player A's brilliant six-wicket
haul, New Zeland lost the match to Australia,
thanks to a five-wicket haul from Player 'B'
which blew up the kiwi's tail.
2015 – Despite Player C's awesome six-wicket
haul, Australia lost the match to New Zeland.
Earlier Player 'D' had rattled Australian line-up
with a fiery five-wicket haul.
2003 2015
Identify the Bowler
Bowler 'X' came running in to bowl the final ball but
stopped just before delivering it ,as he found Jaffar
backing up too far at the non-striker's end. 'X', who
eventually ended with figures of 4 for 40 again ran in to
bowl the last ball, off which two were required, with Abdul
Qadir on strike, but stopped before delivering the ball
due to Saleem Jaffar backing up too far at the non-
striker's end. However, he chose not to run Jaffar out and
headed back to his mark.
The Pakistan government had given him an award in the
form of a medal for showing this gesture.

Bad decisions make you pay!
Unbeaten South Africa were huge favorites to
beat struggling West Indies in the 1996 World
Cup. But in the knockouts,South Africa had
decided to leave out Allan Donald for this match
to bring in the extra spinner in Paul Adams, in
hindsight it proved to be an ill-advised move.
West Indian Player 'X' who came at no.3,
unleashed a brilliant knock of 111 to steer West
Indies into the semis.
BC Lara
Unexpected exit of the favourites
New Zealand's captain 'X' had to decide whether to
rest in the 1992 semi-final against Pakistan or risk
aggravating his injury. After New Zeland posted a
formidable 262, 'X' felt comfortable to sit out during
the Pakistan innings and allow his deputy, 'Y', to
take over. Pakistan were 140 for 4 after 35 overs,
needing 123 from the final 15. But then Z's blitzkrieg
37-ball 60 took away the match from New Zeland.
Identify the Players X,Y and Z.
X – Martin Crowe
Y – John Wright
Z – Inzamam-ul-Haq
No one provokes the Master!
It was the 2003 World Cup and 'X', just before the match said
that he worked out a way to get Sachin out cheaply. He made
the mistake of provoking Sachin and spoke about him being
just ‘another batsman.’ He also said that perhaps the short ball
might do the trick against the Indian batting line-up. The talk
saw Sachin single out 'X' for special treatment – including a pull
shot for a spectacular six over mid-wicket and out of the
stadium in Durban. For many, it remains the shot of the
tournament – it was violent, it was graceful, it was pure Sachin.
In the same match, a brilliant bowling performance by Bowler
'Y' for India, who ended up with his career-best 23/6 saw India
wrap up things convincingly.
X – Andrew Caddick
Y – Ashish Nehra
“He kept us alive with a mesmerising show
against South Africa and then totally blew
Pakistan apart in the final. I had the best seat in
the world to watch him bowl and he was terrific”
Who said this ? on whom?
Adam Gilchrist on Shane Warne
(1999 World Cup)
And that's why cricket is called
Gentlemen's Game
Captain 'X', though devasted by his team's unexpected loss to the
opponents, showed a gesture of true sportsmanship.
Once back in his hotel room, he asked opponent team's Player 'Y'
if he could see him in his room. 'Y', not knowing what to expect,
knocked on the door of 'X' with a little trepidation. To Y's surprise,
X presented him with a signed bat as a token of his appreciation.
Y later quoted:
“I'm overwhelmed. For him to do so after his team's chances in
the World Cup had taken a knock shows the spirit in which X
plays his cricket. We now have a number of admirers for him in
our dressing room.”
X – Rahul Dravid
Y – Tamim Iqbal

finest moments of my life. My wife told me that no
