I was reading an article about Wasim Akram on cricinfo.
"Think of your favourite Wasim Akram moment. The two balls to Allan Lamb and Chris Lewis, the hat-tricks in Sharjah, the penultimate-ball six at the Nehru Cup final, the two Test hat-tricks in consecutive Tests, the 1992 Lord's Test win, four wickets in five balls against the West Indies or the ball to Rahul Dravid at Chennai?"

He was indeed great :))

Tony Becca remembers the day Alvin Kallicharran destroyed Dennis Lillee during the 1975 World Cup.

Kallicharran, cutting off the front-foot and off the back-foot, hooking off the front-foot and off the back-foot, man-handled the feared Lillee as no one has ever done and was responsible for most of the 61 runs that came off the unfortunate bowler’s 10 overs.

Off the last nine deliveries before he greedily went for Lillee again, Kallicharran spanked the express pacer, one of the greatest fast bowlers that ever lived, for 4,4,4,4,4,1,6,0 and 4 in one of the finest batting displays in the history of the Cup.

It was short but it was sweet, really sweet.
