It was a full toss, I would have been disappointed with anything less then a 6.

Fawad alam got out on a full toss yesterday, just sayingIt was a full toss, I would have been disappointed with anything less then a 6.
I mean come on.....any important match like a world cup or Champions trophy or even asia cup......pakistan just doesnt seem to turn up against India.....yeah bcoz india pak does not play so much other than Big tournaments so the stats does not show the real picture.....
But any decent competition where the two teams meet ..... and we all know.....who starts praying.....
India and Pakistan haven't played a lot each other either in the last decade or so... Otherwise India would have clearly dominated Pakistan. Pakistan could balance out on some occasions (Asia Cup, last tour to India) because there was certain dip in energy for India and lift of energy for Pakistan. Otherwise if they had played a lot more (especially in the last 3-4 years or so especially after the exit of Akther, Akram, etc and when India's field improved a lot), I am sure India would have won more matches to prove the dominance. I feel India and Pakistan should play at least in Canada (Sahara Cup memories )

India still haven't fully recovered from that "dip". Post 2011 they became a much weaker side
And now Pakistan have a weakest team, time to start some bilateral matches now
The most iconic six in Pakistan history without a doubt.
I think it's a little melodramatic and sensationalist to say that this six was the reason for our dominance over India (outside World Cups) in the 90's, because the one and only reason for our dominance was simply because we had more quality and fire power, compared to a team heavily reliant on Tendulkar, Kumble and Srinath.
In World Cups, we simply couldn't handle the pressure.
Even had Miandad missed out on that six, we would still have had the upper hand on them.
On another note, Moin Khan had the opportunity to replicate it in the first ODI of the Samsung Cup 2004 in Karachi.
We were chasing 350 and were 344/7 with one delivery to go, and Moin failed to connect with a Nehra full toss and was caught at extra cover I think.
Arguably the flattest batting strip I've ever seen and we really let that game slip through our fingers in the last 4 overs, thanks to some ordinary batting by Moin and Malik.
Was absolutely gutted, definitely one of my worst cricketing memory. The fact that we lost the series 3-2 didn't help either.
Haha. I remember. Moin absolutely bottled under pressure. Would have been recorded as one of the greatest victories in Indo Pak matches had he pulled it off. 9 of 6 balls was very gettable on a flat track against Nehra
Yeah, but it was 24 in 18 deliveries before that with 6 wickets to go and Malik and Moin at the crease. Really should have finished the game off.
Fantastic match though.
If u think India ain't quality , then u r seriously high on something.2 VERY weak teams...Nah..There's one coming up late this year I think. Quality of cricket will be lower unless both the teams improve. Pak has a young side. Give them time. India on the other hand need to watch their back

No, not just because, that ,but because on 4 of the most difficult tours sa, nz, aus and first couple of tests in England or batters did really well, and for some it was their first tour and it's not that they are old guys , with guys like kohli, Rahane, vijay, pujara in team,with guys like jadhav, sky , hooda ,samson, iyer, in wings and these are some guys ,if our bowlers can improve in test, with bowlers like milind, chaudhary, Sandeep performe well in domestic, even they can be part of group, so it's not just about the current setup, it's the overall setup, most importantly these guys do have ability to play well in pressure.Really?? Because if you're judging their performances on just the 7 games in the WC you have another thing going. (which btw India beat just 1 quality side in)

Rajesh Chauhan 1997 Karachi against a far better bowler Saqlain and playing in his backyard ... epic 6 in the last over. But *THAT* Six by Tendulkar is without doubt the most epic of all in Indo-Pak contests.
BTW JM played in 2 Worldcup matches and couldnt do anything of note. He also played in 2 Matched against India in the B&H Worldcup in 1985 .... lost both of them.
Not 7 but 10 ... 50over WC plus T20 ... these include ... 1 final , 1 QF and one 1 SF .... cant get any more important than that.
Also do you really believe that current Pak side that is losing to BD will win anythng against India if they played regularly ?

From the man himself today.
I believe this was a moment that handed over the psychological edge to Pakistan over their arch rivals for generations. Also this was the moment that made Indo-Pak contests as exciting if not more than the Ashes.
I have even have read numerous reports / interviews about that specific match and moment. Also viewed the videos on YouTube of this match. It was indeed an unprecedented chase and was a near impossible chase in that Era given the situation.
Today incidentally is also the anniversary of that memorable match.
What has not come out clearly from the videos or from the interviews was how big was that sixer and how far in the stands did it land? For old timers or viewers who might have memories watching this match closely, please comment on this.
Those days grounds used to be bigger so I'd guess it has to be at least 105m.

You know people talk about the six which was brilliant but I think his whole innings was even better. 116 runs at a strike rate of 102 with only 6 boundaries. One of the best ODI knocks ever
