Naser Hussain has a great heart... The way he respected Ganguly's Shirt weaving incident is awesome ... Thats how great person are... respecting their counterparts
It's great to see that he has amazing respect for Sourav Ganguly. He said well done mate for the shirt incident. Absolute gentleman. What ganguly did, placed indian cricket on the map as a super power. Thank you dada.
Man he almost teared up at the end. You could hear it in his voice. Nasser Hussain is an incredibly humble person. Great job on your career mate! Its always a pleasure to listen to you speak about cricket.
He was a fine captain but he is a brilliant and unbiased commentator and storyteller. He excites the game just through his commentary. After Tony Greig he is the voice that makes cricket more exciting.
Not really-England had beaten South Africa in 1998, only gone out of the World Cup because the Proteas choked against Zimbabwe & some awful umpiring in the final game against India. What Fletcher did was taught them how to play spin on the subcontinent which led to the incredible wins in Pakistan & Sri Lanka in 2000/2001, but they still weren't competitive against Australia in 2001 or 2002/2003 & failed to show any backbone in the second test of the 2001 series against Pakistan, or in the ODI triangular series that summer. Problem was they were two very negative people-their leg theory on Tendulkar which let any chance of victory slip away in late 2001 & in the 2002 series against India when after racking up over 50o in their first innings Hussain was in the papers saying England couldn't win because he didn't have the bowlers he wanted was pathetic, that morning he then took slips out & watched as Dravid & Co started edging to where they would have been if he had been positive & backed the bowlers he did have. It was only when the positive Vaughan came in to counter-balance the negativity of Fletcher in 2004 that things really turned round. No way would England have demolished the Windies in the Caribbean, or won the 2005 Ashes under Hussain & Fletcher.
Never forget what kevin peterson did for england he showed the docile english team how to be aggresive though england never gave him the respect he deserved
Respect to this great man!! I turned my tv off after england sent fab 5 back to the pavilion, and turned on the TV only in the last over to see a completely different drama which obviously went indians way. Today, seeing Nasser share his experience, I feel for him and for his team too. Well, I will say cricket won that day!! After 18 years if Nasser says what it was like to loose that game without taking anything away from team india, it speaks a lot about what cricket is and more importantly what Mr.Nasser hussain is. Love and respect to you sir!!
Well said. Certainly both were made a lot harder to beat. Nasser didn't help himself sometimes though - some very peculiar decisions and funny team selections but England were better than they were under Atherton & Gooch. Ganguly had to deal with whole Azaruddin fallout and still made the team better!
How did Dhoni benefit from Ganguly..?? Ganguly was a great captain no doubt... But after him Dravid was the captain.. Why couldn't dravid capitalise what ganguly did??? It was dhoni who wanted to make india the best fielding side... Which really made a difference... India was a good team but choked in the field.. Dropped catches n let boundaries... Which definitely was the reason india lost the matches they were losing.. But it was a bit tougher for dhoni to drop dravid, ganguly from the odi side initially... Made a team of his own..
@@chiranjeevimohanty1996 you started watching cricket a lot later than we did. See the 2003 world cup team and see how many from that team was in the 2011 world cup winning team. Zaheer Khan, Harbhajan Singh, Virendra Sehwag, Yuvraj Singh, ( it was not Dhoni, it was Underrated Yuvraj who won you both 2007 world T20 and 2011 world cup ). These players were individually hand picked by Sourav Ganguly and made by him by backing them giving them enough opportunity. Now you talk about Dhoni, he would not even be in the if not for Sourav Ganguly. Every body was ready to kick him out after 4 failures. But it was "Dada" who backed Dhoni despite his failures and sent him up the order giving his own place. Dhoni was a street smart cricketer who read the game than any of the previous leaders. But he was never the man that built it from ground zero.
@@sumit007dass Simply my point is weren't the same players available in the 2007 WC , weren't the same players playing test cricket , weren't the same players going for Australian tour ?? How many major tournaments India won before that ?? Infact in 2007 all those 2003 players were in their peak ... Why did they fail terribly in 2007 ?? I am not taking anything away from Ganguly .. he built the team but still there needs to be a captain who could carry them.with all their talent, skills , strength... Dhoni was that captain who took it to next level ... Dhoni also built a team from scratch .. after all the seniors left ... The current Indian team ... Or the 2019 wc India team ... That was purely Dhoni made team .. that team was very very strong as well ... Infact India was the favourite... But unfortunately we couldn't win .. so with good players n good team .. good captain is also necessary to take u to next level ... While the team fields captain plays a major role .. which Dhoni did . Period.
Excellent interview and that was a great game of cricket. 3 important factors which decided India's win: 1. Sourav Ganguly brillant start 2. Yuvraj-Kaif partnership 3. Crowd support 4. Replacing the old ball negating reverse swing
Love and Respect from Kolkata, India. Thanks for reviving my childhood memories as after Sachin got out from Ashley Giles I switched off my television and left to my Grandmother house thinking game is gone. But when I heard people still watching TV I told to myself what is happening they are not all out and asked how many wickets they told 7 and Kaif can do it. Then I sat in front my TV and watched that six in Long off from Darren. When they took that single off miss-field I literally jumped off and though from now India can win the World Cup but that thought expanded from 2003 till 2011. But yes congrats to England Team as well for WC2019
One Great thing he said, "If you think we're under pressure as England Cricketers, Noooooo(shake of the head)". Says a lot about the fanaticism that is Cricket, in India.
We have heard about the 2003 Natwest final win from Indian team a lot , but what Nasser Hussain was thinking , his views , it was different feeling. I think the last part of the video , moved me a bit as well. Great Respect for Nasser . He is a real Gentle Man. I love what he did while he was playing and now he is one my favourite commentators. I always love to hear him whenever he is on air. He was a great servant of the Game and now a great pilgrim of it.
I can never forget that day, i was around 14 years old and when it was 5 down I cried and fell sleep and woke up in a small town with no highlights or news available on my fingertips, i went outside on the street and heard my uncle saying that India won last night and i couldn’t believe myself. From that day on i never stopped watching the match in between and loose hope. Thank you naseer for bringing out those memories alive.
Wonderful match. Sat night.. 146/5 .. Turned off the TV and slept.. Suddenly neighbours screaming woke up and saw it was 240 odd for 5.. That Entire tour of England was just amazing.. Wonderful bowlers vs wonderful batsman and two aggressive captains.. Wat else can u ask for?
He used to speak very less and had class while batting. Way more talented than Pandya or Pant. I am shocked how his name came up in the fixing scandal. And Tbh Kaif is only remembered for that innings much like Kanitkar or Ajay Jadeja.
@@Okayonce Seriously? Ajay Jadeja played many good knocks. And he was a senior member of the team for quite a while. Can't put him in the same category as Kanitkar.
It's jus amazing to hear viewpoint from the other side... I have been always a crazy Indian cricket fan.. And nasser has built the England team which beat Oz in 2005 Ashes! Amazing captain
I remember playing a club match on this same Saturday whilst following this match on radio and losing a run chase in a similar manner. It wasn’t a great weekend for me as an england fan and cricketer.
Well, it was one of the moments we held on to as Indian fans as we did not have much else to cheer about then. Got absolutely smashed by the Aussies in the final a year after that.
We switched on to another channel...and suddenly we hear clapping from our neighbours...then we tuned in again and Yuvraj and Kaif were chasing runs down😁
Nasser always had a soft place for India in his heart... Always mentions Indian cricketers in literally every time he commentates in a match... Very humble guy, really respect him a lot
Whilst the format is born out of necessity I like it, and I think it should be carried on after lockdown is eased. Production costs must be minimal, and whilst it's not studio quality on both audio and video fronts, it's perfectly acceptable for players and indeed ex players talking about famous games they have played in
Well said Sir. RESPECT!!! Never had so much respect before this video. But these 15 minutes taught me ''one can deal with any type of failures and analyse it.'' Learnt a lot from your calmness and maturity. Neither you uttered a bad or negative word for the opposition nor you blamed your side. Truly Respect from an Indian!!!
@@Okayonce Kohli, Sharma and ABD are not better than him as a captain because he was the one who reformulated English team and Off course Dhoni has set himself in the top tier captains list by his charismatic decision making ..
18 years later, this is till date one of my favourite days with my dad. Going back to listening or watching this match bring back so many warm memories. My favourite match easily while growing up.
Loved your comment buddy. This was the last game I watched with my father, I was 12 back then. He died just a few months later that year, memories I will never forget. Much love!
That Nat West win is very very special one for Indians. For the first time Indian Cricket team came out of a mental block whetr Sachin's failure used to demoralise the whole team and fans alike. Indian cricket team got a new found confidence with that win. Thanks Nasser for walking down the memory lane.
Huge huge respect for Nasser for saying that what Ganguly did was not wrong. Tbf, it was all in the spirit of the game and it was Ganguly's personality
Absolutely love these shows with Nasser, please keep them coming and don't forget to have Nasser in each one of those. It's always a delight listening to him. Fine captain and equally good Cricket pundit.
One minor correction: It wasn't VVS Laxman who was playing that match, it was Dinesh Mongia instead. Nice to hear stories from the other side, about Hussain's only hundred, the subsequent cramps, India's poor record in finals prior to this... Kaif talked about that 'bus driver' sledge in another talk show. Also turns out Harbhajan wanted to take off his shirt too, but Dravid prevented him from doing so.
For me, Nass changed the way England played esp in white ball cricket. He really showed his side how to attack, and it's that energy and fearless cricket that won them the World Cup in 2019!
One of my favorite captains... Always had his plans for certain batsman, not let the game drift(sachin at blore).....won in pak, SL no other foreign captain has done that, almost won in India too...England were atrocious before him
This podcast highlights the importance of atmosphere, the crowds. Makes it all the more necessary to make all possible efforts to ensure crowd presence, because cricket within closed doors just cannot be a success.
Watching this video after almost an YEAR. And I wanted to comment almost exactly the same what I said earlier. I'm here after the Lord's Test 2021, and I want to highlight the fact that Virat Kohli feeds off crowd's energy.
Grestest ODI is def the 2019 world cup Final ,it was a WC Final to begin with so much Drama in the last overs one fielder caught the ball we thought NZ gonna win then he overstepped the Boundary line one overthrow went for a 4 , then the match tied , we had the super over it got tied as well 🔥🔥
Nope. The greatest ODI is South Africa vs Australia. 434 runs being chased. Eng vs Nz can be the greatest final but can't be the greatest ODI ever as the winner of the final never scored the wining RUN. Anyways, England winning the WC Final on the basis of a weird rule was absolutely deplorable to say the least. It can be called the best final of a 50 over WC but No chance of being the best ODI ever. On the contrary AUS vs SA when Australia was undefeatable and scored 400+ only for SA to chase it down and not only break the record for the highest score in an ODI which was created by Australia in the same game but to win the series against an ALL TIME GREAT SIDE.
Yeah I’m from NZ and today is the first day I saw the game on RUclips since the since the final. And now I’m embracing the way it ended. They way we reacted, the honesty straight away from Guptil when Boult took the catch in the boundary. At the end of the day I’m glad at least someone from my city won the World Cup in Ben Stokes.
@@ashishmeena8181 Aus vs Rsa was one of the greats but this kept alot of people on the edge of their seats it had alot of drama and first time in ODI cricket the super over got tied the rule suks , But if they didnt like the rule they couldve voiced their opinion and change it beforehand they all agree to the rule when it was made and now pisssed when they got lesser boundaries but yeah its unfair cuz NZ got more wickets but nonetheless the ‘Stupid Rule’ the players made it entertaining but this clearly had more drama and a tied Super Over and SA vs Aus was a batsmans match due to flat pitches the bowlers from the both side suckked WHAT PEOPLE CANT REMEMBER IS SOUTH AFRUCA DIDNT PLAY AGAINST THE GREAT AUSTRALIAN SIDE CUZ WARNE , MCGRATH , SHAUN TAIT, WATSON DIDN PLAY THAT MACTH AND BRETT LEE WAS THE ONLY QUALITY BOWLER but the Eng vs NZ had great bowling NZ took wickets early then a great comeback from Ben Stokes it had both geat Bowling , Batting , drama , Tied match and a tied superover and also was a WC Final everything that you could have in a game
That match was so epic if any team had lost that match other than England would be in tears. The gravity of that match was so much that you mustn't loose it... At 14:40 how Nass got emotional you can feel it in his voice! That day England players had the same feeling as the Kiwis had after the 2019 WC Final over
Yes, I too thought the same when he repeatedly kept saying fav 5, sure enough VVS was there in the squad but he was not there in the finals, it was Mongia.. one of the five wickets in that 146-5, mongia was caught in the covers.
Naseer is my favourite commentator .. has a great voice ... Great art of storytelling too .. keeps one intrigued ... Love to hear this man about cricket as a cricket lover. Always get to know great insights .. Respect 👍
Hussain was a very good player and a great captain but a greater human being. It takes a man to accept his loss the way Hussain speaks of that match and his opposition.
That match provided same belief for India's ODI cricket what 2001 Aus test series did for India's test cricket. It was a watershed moment for India's ODI cricket graph.
True. We had ridiculously poor record in finals before this. After 1998 Sharjah we lost 8 or 9 finals including the ICC Knockout loss and the humiliating 53 all out vs Sri Lanka in 2002.
I don't think there will ever be a greater ODI match than the Australia vs SA match in 1999 WC. It was both thrilling and substantial. Both the Natwest final and the 438 match were fantastic matches but otherwise not very consequential.
2019 CWC Final will forever be the greatest game of ODI cricket ever played. That game had absolutely EVERYTHING you could ask for in a game of cricket
What a gut wrenching review of the game by Naseer, painful side of sports. Huge respect to you and England and India team for a remarkable ODI greatest game of all time.
I still remember that game not because India won it but the manner in which India won it.saurav was under serious pressure before the game just like nasser after losing 9 out of 10 tournament finals.
Though an Indian fan, lost all hope when Sachin got out and decided to go home. Couple of hours later when I was passing a local house I could hear cricket commentary. It turned India was still chasing successfully. It turned out to be a classic game they show on Sky Sports to this very day !
This match is also top 5 for pure entertainment and edge of the seat watching. Considering back then scores over 300 were comparable to 400 today. Also the fact it was done by two youngsters. Eng vs NZ is pu there as well as the high scoring game between AUS and SA.
Absolutely We here in India cherish that game not becus of Sachin Sehwag or Ganguly but because of those two young players who actually pulled it up out of nowhere 🙏
Naser Hussain has a great heart... The way he respected Ganguly's Shirt weaving incident is awesome ... Thats how great person are... respecting their counterparts
Real sportsmen have real emotions
It's great to see that he has amazing respect for Sourav Ganguly. He said well done mate for the shirt incident. Absolute gentleman. What ganguly did, placed indian cricket on the map as a super power. Thank you dada.

Its always a pleasure to listen to you speak about cricket.
The hardest job in life is managing people.
Love Nasser Hussein, his approach to the game and his commentary. My son's middle name is Nasser in honour of Nasser Hussein.
Waah
He was a fine captain but he is a brilliant and unbiased commentator and storyteller. He excites the game just through his commentary. After Tony Greig he is the voice that makes cricket more exciting.
Cheers to Nass for saying that what Ganguly did wasn't disrespectful. Great game and a beautiful innings from Nass as well.
I love what Nasser and Duncan Fletcher did for English cricket. They gave us a spine,we were pathetic before Nasser took charge. 🏴👍🙂
Not really-England had beaten South Africa in 1998, only gone out of the World Cup because the Proteas choked against Zimbabwe & some awful umpiring in the final game against India. What Fletcher did was taught them how to play spin on the subcontinent which led to the incredible wins in Pakistan & Sri Lanka in 2000/2001, but they still weren't competitive against Australia in 2001 or 2002/2003 & failed to show any backbone in the second test of the 2001 series against Pakistan, or in the ODI triangular series that summer.
Problem was they were two very negative people-their leg theory on Tendulkar which let any chance of victory slip away in late 2001 & in the 2002 series against India when after racking up over 50o in their first innings Hussain was in the papers saying England couldn't win because he didn't have the bowlers he wanted was pathetic, that morning he then took slips out & watched as Dravid & Co started edging to where they would have been if he had been positive & backed the bowlers he did have. It was only when the positive Vaughan came in to counter-balance the negativity of Fletcher in 2004 that things really turned round. No way would England have demolished the Windies in the Caribbean, or won the 2005 Ashes under Hussain & Fletcher.
Agree with you, Naseer was aggressive captain, team he had was not that great. He was a fighter.
Never forget what kevin peterson did for england he showed the docile english team how to be aggresive though england never gave him the respect he deserved
Still, it was a Tie..
Nasser, who is ethnically India, did indeed he gave a spineless English team some real power. What a Legend of the game
My 70 year old grandmother started following cricket after that natwest series win ,unforgettable

Hussain and Ganguly have a lot in common. They turned ordinary teams into really good ones. Dhoni and Michael Vaughan were beneficiaries of that.
Well said. Certainly both were made a lot harder to beat.
Nasser didn't help himself sometimes though - some very peculiar decisions and funny team selections but England were better than they were under Atherton & Gooch.
Ganguly had to deal with whole Azaruddin fallout and still made the team better!
How did Dhoni benefit from Ganguly..?? Ganguly was a great captain no doubt... But after him Dravid was the captain.. Why couldn't dravid capitalise what ganguly did??? It was dhoni who wanted to make india the best fielding side... Which really made a difference... India was a good team but choked in the field.. Dropped catches n let boundaries...

3. Crowd support
4. Replacing the old ball negating reverse swing

One minor correction: It wasn't VVS Laxman who was playing that match, it was Dinesh Mongia instead.
Nice to hear stories from the other side, about Hussain's only hundred, the subsequent cramps, India's poor record in finals prior to this...
Kaif talked about that 'bus driver' sledge in another talk show. Also turns out Harbhajan wanted to take off his shirt too, but Dravid prevented him from doing so.
Vvs was present in the dressing room
I was there watching it live till the end! Best memories ever and I can't believe its nearly 20 years ago. Thats nearly a quarter century 😳
That win was just not another series win for India..... It was something else ❤❤❤
For me, Nass changed the way England played esp in white ball cricket. He really showed his side how to attack, and it's that energy and fearless cricket that won them the World Cup in 2019!
This was my first cricket game and it was at Lords, will never forget that game
I still remember Rahul Dravid and Michael Vaughan had scored 600+ runs! And they shared the MOS 😍
Nasser... Amazingly articulate, cricket-erudite & a great sport. This discussion was a sheer pleasure to listen to.
More than Nasser Hussain playing cricket his way of narration to an incident or commentary is commendable because it feels soothing to the ears.
One of my favorite captains... Always had his plans for certain batsman, not let the game drift(sachin at blore).....won in pak, SL no other foreign captain has done that, almost won in India too...England were atrocious before him

Grestest ODI is def the 2019 world cup Final ,it was a WC Final to begin with so much Drama in the last overs one fielder caught the ball we thought NZ gonna win then he overstepped the Boundary line one overthrow went for a 4 , then the match tied , we had the super over it got tied as well 🔥🔥
I have never seen as much drama as that 2019 WC final day. Just wish it didnt end on a technicality. This match is top 5 greatest ODIs at least.
Nope. The greatest ODI is South Africa vs Australia. 434 runs being chased. Eng vs Nz can be the greatest final but can't be the greatest ODI ever as the winner of the final never scored the wining RUN. Anyways, England winning the WC Final on the basis of a weird rule was absolutely deplorable to say the least. It can be called the best final of a 50 over WC but No chance of being the best ODI ever. On the contrary AUS vs SA when Australia was undefeatable and scored 400+ only for SA to chase it down and not only break the record for the highest score in an ODI which was created by Australia in the same game but to win the series against an ALL TIME GREAT SIDE.
Fixed match that was
Yeah I’m from NZ and today is the first day I saw the game on RUclips since the since the final. And now I’m embracing the way it ended. They way we reacted, the honesty straight away from Guptil when Boult took the catch in the boundary. At the end of the day I’m glad at least someone from my city won the World Cup in Ben Stokes.
@@ashishmeena8181 Aus vs Rsa was one of the greats but this kept alot of people on the edge of their seats it had alot of drama and first time in ODI cricket the super over got tied the rule suks , But if they didnt like the rule they couldve voiced their opinion and change it beforehand they all agree to the rule when it was made and now pisssed when they got lesser boundaries but yeah its unfair cuz NZ got more wickets but nonetheless the ‘Stupid Rule’ the players made it entertaining but this clearly had more drama and a tied Super Over and SA vs Aus was a batsmans match due to flat pitches the bowlers from the both side suckked WHAT PEOPLE CANT REMEMBER IS SOUTH AFRUCA DIDNT PLAY AGAINST THE GREAT AUSTRALIAN SIDE CUZ WARNE , MCGRATH , SHAUN TAIT, WATSON DIDN PLAY THAT MACTH AND BRETT LEE WAS THE ONLY QUALITY BOWLER but the Eng vs NZ had great bowling NZ took wickets early then a great comeback from Ben Stokes it had both geat Bowling , Batting , drama , Tied match and a tied superover and also was a WC Final everything that you could have in a game
Great detailing Nass..
Always loved the combo Dada and Nass both in match and now in commentary
Great captain and one the best brain of world cricket.. respect 🙏🙏
That match was so epic if any team had lost that match other than England would be in tears. The gravity of that match was so much that you mustn't loose it... At 14:40 how Nass got emotional you can feel it in his voice!
That day England players had the same feeling as the Kiwis had after the 2019 WC Final over
VVS Laxman didn't play that game, it was Dinesh Mongia
But he was present in the dressing room
The common British Amnesia
Yes, I too thought the same when he repeatedly kept saying fav 5, sure enough VVS was there in the squad but he was not there in the finals, it was Mongia.. one of the five wickets in that 146-5, mongia was caught in the covers.
But he got other 4 right, cab forgive him as it is almost 18 years ago and these guys covered 1000 of matches since
Oh Nassee I could hear you speak forever !! My absolute favorite commentator ❤️
Probably best cricket analyst and commentator of his generation. Loved every aspect of what he speaks
Naseer is my favourite commentator .. has a great voice ... Great art of storytelling too .. keeps one intrigued ... Love to hear this man about cricket as a cricket lover. Always get to know great insights .. Respect 👍
Love Nasser’s honesty here 🏏
I was there! Watched it live. What a day it was!
Nasser Hussain was a pretty good player for England. Always played for benefit of his team rather than his individual score. Very underrated. ❤️
such honest views from Naseer Hussein. Respect!!
Hussain was a very good player and a great captain but a greater human being. It takes a man to accept his loss the way Hussain speaks of that match and his opposition.
No one can analyse an opposition’s victory with so much grace ... nasser is a great guy
What a conversation..... Felt I was watching that match again
That match provided same belief for India's ODI cricket what 2001 Aus test series did for India's test cricket. It was a watershed moment for India's ODI cricket graph.
True. We had ridiculously poor record in finals before this. After 1998 Sharjah we lost 8 or 9 finals including the ICC Knockout loss and the humiliating 53 all out vs Sri Lanka in 2002.
@@Banzybanz true also we use to snatch defeat from jaws of victory. This was opposite.
Ganguly taking the revenge of Fllintof
Actually the test series that followed was even more enjoyable and exciting. Was drawn 1 all
That was a glorious summer indeed.
A true gentleman and leader Nas.. owning the responsibility for the loss... great guy... 👏👏👏
Hi! Nasir Hussain I have a suggestion kindly bring other greats of the game from different countries in the interview thanks
Great ODI Definitely. More so, since I am Indian. But the greatest? Nah. The 438 match will forever be the Greatest Cricket Match Ever Played IMHO.
I don't think there will ever be a greater ODI match than the Australia vs SA match in 1999 WC. It was both thrilling and substantial. Both the Natwest final and the 438 match were fantastic matches but otherwise not very consequential.
@@naveenvijayan2197 Maaf kar bhai opinion hai mera
2019 CWC Final will forever be the greatest game of ODI cricket ever played. That game had absolutely EVERYTHING you could ask for in a game of cricket
Great.... it's easy to analyze and remember your greatest victory but it takes lot of heart to describe your failure respect to Naseer Hussain ❤
What a gut wrenching review of the game by Naseer, painful side of sports. Huge respect to you and England and India team for a remarkable ODI greatest game of all time.
what an absolute gentleman Nas!
Love your honesty nass thank u definitely ganguly s t-shirt incident changed cricket
Nasser is one of the greatest narrators in the game.
Nasser is such a fine gentleman.. so graceful even in defeat 👍
Best England captain of our times.
And hands down best commentator. His knowledge and views towards the game is pretty 👌. Respect from India
A true sportsman Nasser. He is a role model for the current era.
12.30 that's why he is one of the greatest captain to grace this beautiful game!
I still remember that game not because India won it but the manner in which India won it.saurav was under serious pressure before the game just like nasser after losing 9 out of 10 tournament finals.
Though an Indian fan, lost all hope when Sachin got out and decided to go home. Couple of hours later when I was passing a local house I could hear cricket commentary. It turned India was still chasing successfully. It turned out to be a classic game they show on Sky Sports to this very day !
Imagine if it were Eng vs Ind in CWC Final at Lord's. I watch it live at my age 10, I still remember Ganguly removes his shirt & Swinging
Underrated Odi match of last decade . Has to be one of best 10 Odi matches of all time .
aus vs sa in the 1999 world cup semi final was the best match ever
Also top 5 ODI ever
This match is also top 5 for pure entertainment and edge of the seat watching. Considering back then scores over 300 were comparable to 400 today. Also the fact it was done by two youngsters. Eng vs NZ is pu there as well as the high scoring game between AUS and SA.
Wc final can't be topped
@@karansejwar3287 yes it can easily
*Dutch van der linde we don't trust you hypocrite you betrayed Arthur Morgan*
Nasser so gracious here. Very admirable
Nasser Hussain is the most unbiased commentator cricket has ever seen.
Excellent insights from Hussain there.
Nasser! Huge respect. 🙇♀️
You are a champion.
I think chapati-makers like Shastri shd learn from you how to respect the opposition.
Remember "donkeygate"?😄😄
Such a great heart. Huge respect to you.
That was very candid of Nasir. What a match we had
Indeed this was the greatest ODI of this century at least.
Though he hypes english players too much, but great respect to nasser hussain on this interview
Absolutely We here in India cherish that game not becus of Sachin Sehwag or Ganguly but because of those two young players who actually pulled it up out of nowhere 🙏
