Balaji’s SIX off Akhtar gets more credit since its harder to hit a SIX off a chucker…and a fast one at that.

u dont need any effort to hit a SIX off akhtar, a safe edge can fly over the rope…

we have seen many short deliveries from akhtar going for six legbyes even after flying off the shoulders…

Looks like 95% of the “cricketing brilliance in 2005” involved Pakistanis.

cause Pak are unbeaten in 3 consecutive home & away series (both Test and ODIs) and they have shown their ability to comeback (and even win) in a series. Now with Akhter inclusive, Pak bowling is second to none.

BD beating Aus was the single biggest moment of last year, I guess. BD was heading towards victory while Symonds was looking for another bottle.

@Captain Lota

Kamran Akmal catches Trescothick off Shoaib Malik. Trescothick goes for the sweep shot, inside-edges the ball that goes straight down to hit Tresco’s boot and bounce back up. Akmal has enough presence of mind to see that the ball has hit the boot and not the ground. He then sprints forward, comes around Trescothick and dives infront of him and catches a wonderful left-handed catch.

Sincerely,
Captain Lota

That was one heck of a catch to watch, with so little time Akmal had to think within seconds to go for the catch or not and on top of that it was not an easy catch. No wonder why he got a beautiful wife

1. Akmal and Razzak's partenership to save the first test in India.
2. Multan last day, the English never recovered from then on.
3. Afridi's century.
4. Warne's Ashes bowling, simply brilliant.
5. Bangalore last day.

Re: Moments of cricketing brilliance in 2005

I think the stumping of Pieterson(?) by Akmal off Malik’s bowling, it was one brilliant stumping I blv :k:

Re: Moments of cricketing brilliance in 2005

I distinctly remember one of the lines said by Waqar (during one of the ODI’s):

Waqar: Pakistan are really lucky to have players like Malik, Afridi, Razzaq who can bat and bowl, in my days we used to have only Aamir Sohail and Saleem Malik bowling his Dobbly Bobbly’s!

Moment of brilliance!

Re: Moments of cricketing brilliance in 2005

though its an innings rather than a "moment", it must be included...

Dhoni's 183 not out from 145 balls with 15 fours and 10 sixes

(this was India vs. SL 3rd ODI)
