WEST INDIES vs SOUTH AFRICA, 1996 WORLD CUP 1/4 FINAL

[Shinji379]

The Year of the LANKAN LIONS !!

[farazzubair]

Its a match that has itched in my memory for years.Not the least because I was a spectator in the stadium(Still have no clue if I appear somewhere during the clips,couldnt figure).SA had been unbeaten till then and had controlled everything coming their way but this day they couldnt control the master,Brian Lara.I remember,we in the crowd were all at awe at the majestic display put on by him and couldnt believe watching Jonty turn into a clueless dunk as balls whizzed past him at Lara's will.

[21jasonh]

i have never seen sachintendulkar bat like this in none of his innins

[Malcolmhonda]

I wish West Indies would be like this again at least

[HotShotR92J]

Ahhh the gud old dayz of Lara & Chanderpaul partnerships :) :)

another gr8 sight was seein Allan Donald run in to bowl..dunno wher he is in this match tho..

[kart0100]

South Africa Is Such a Excellent Team & Have Talented Players More than Australian Side... But Very Unlucky Team Tooo...

[kart0100]

South Africa is such an Unlucky Team

[w8in4some1]

well, 1996 World Cup 3rd quarter final and South Africa lost and 2011 World cup 3rd quarter final South lost by chasing. I m a big fan of SA team but realy sad that such a good team always fails to qualify to the main part of the game.

[w8in4some1]

2011 WC West Indies is out. The WI is in a mess. The current team, its no more like 1996 team

[trinikagekavir]

'young chanderpaul' oh what a long time ago...

[amitavinashsingh]

South Africa should've won this match because the Proteas were undefeated during the Group Stage.

[w8in4some1]

@amitavinashsingh Proteas are famous forchoking. This is an amazing team but always at this stage they mess up

[pollockdonald]

2:04 thats the first full toss and the only full toss ive seen pollock bowl

[indiajag1]

see chanderpaul's jersey...it's too big

[kradensteiger]

cronje's wicket was the turning point.......he smashed walsh for 2 consecutive sixes.....keith arthurton took a good catch to dismiss cronje....cronje was actually very good against spinners & struggled against pacers,he used to smash warne & murali regularly,he was south africa's best player against spin.....but looking at the way he thrashed walsh,looks like he was comfortable even against pacers........he was destined for greatness until greed swallowed him...very sad....RIP HANSIE.....

[maarthumka]

west indies played superbly in dis WC...can't believe dis was a side dat lost to kenya in grp stages...den they beat SA, aus to enter semis....n almost defeated aus once again!!!

[lankylankan]

love lara and chanderpaul. hudson sure could pull the ball!

[manidar1977]

Great catching all around. very good.

[sunshilk210]

Lara's Jersy is different from other WI players..His sleeves are Yellow,while others have Marroon...!!! This one is a classic ODI..thanks for upload...!!

[vinayvyas100]

No Ian Bishop. I think u meant Courtney Walsh

[sanasaeed007]

in my view this wc had the best format,no super six or super 8,s.i mean futball wc is sudden death from the 2nd round.what the hell is wrong with cricket wc?but south africans were the ones who objected coz they had won all their group matches.

[susannettaful]

soory i put a very small statment for sauth africa 'luck fuck'

[Vick7888]

still love Lara. Most entertaining ever

[usb33]

does someone know where I can watch the 1998 south africa v west indies final from ICC knockout in bangladesh??

[fafafafa145]

well lara was always brilliant playing at national stadium karachi. Exactly 10 years after this in 2006,lara smashed us for one the quickest 100s off 72 balls in a test match but in the 2nd innings umar gul got him bowled for a duck and we won the match and series 2-0

[mookmeister30]

Young Chanders! Fantastic. SA were showing early signs of being chokers............ mind you this was the quarter - finals.

[blackchariot90]

nice vid....enjoyable...but you forgot to put in WALSH in the team list there bro!

[IanGorton]

This game showed just how flawed the format of the 1996 World Cup was. West Indies (A team that snuck into the QFs with only 2 wins in the group stage) against South Africa (A team undefeated in teh group stage) and South Africa were knocked out of the comp.

[Legalisation]

its a knockout competition,not a league!

[mageshonair1954]

another lara´s magic.....The true genius...He never changed his batting style at any age or against any opposition....always dominates the bowlers...wow...thnx for posting this beautiful innings.....

[67810234]

Kandiah Thirugnansampandapillai Francis was the umpire

[science454]

well done.

[lukose2007]

South Africa were complacent.

[aravindjairam]

wow more than a dozen years ago ...Brian & Shiv really kickd SA butt....

[Hmarkas]

i was there, what a historic match!

[BoldBenHall]

just watching Pat Symcox, and contempating, off spinners really are shit unless youre a chucker like Murali or the dickhead (Bhaji), albeit they arent chuckers anymore, thank you very much ICC for changing the rules for tv money. Fat lot of fucking good its going to do you now that the terrorist chickens have come home to roost in India.

[AnInfant]

All you're doing by posting your retarded shit is embarassing yourself. But WHY? Do you enjoy embarassment?

[vtxtd2]

u r white guy who can't hack losing by the sounds of it. get over it. the west is in decline...

[chuburac]

lol cute vid

[chadsexinton]

HAHA. WHATS UP WITH THE BOWLING AT :40

[adnankamal7]

i think lara was the best ever batsman because he had to play with out any support by his team mates no dis respect for others.

[AnInfant]

WOW...WHAT WAS CHANDERPAUL DOING HERE THEN? Did you even WATCH this?

[adnankamal7]

no mate i think you couldnt understand i am talking about consistant support like tendulker gets from rahul,laxman,ganguly,sehwag and others.

[vtxtd2]

apart from chanderpaul off course. it's now chanderpaul who is getting stranded. he has had a huge number of not outs in tests...

[adityab88]

lara shots = super sweet!

[Jammydodgers41]

another good discription of paul adams action is someone tryin to change a hub cap of a car while its moving

[MiTcH2da4]

wats the really weird looking spinners name??? i memba seeing him play... he lyk bends right over when he bowls... any1 kno his name??

[TheFishMan92]

Paul Adams, with his 'frog-in-a-blender' style

[saad4242]

paul adams was his name!

[faadajoe]

Paul Adams

[manicbranic]

Paul Adams

[zeeics]

WEST INDIES IS THE BEST.

[sjperera]

enough good... Indians fought racism... sure I'll accept that... but you haven't conquered it yet. Btw - True Northern Jaff Tamils don't like Murali that much btw... I thought you should know. Either way I have no problems with them. I love them... hehehe I really do :)

[sjperera]

Sooo true... now who's the terrorists?

[sjperera]

Sri Lanka didn't use any gimmicks, they relied on a tactic and the talent of their players and the way they play cricket. What does this have to do with India btw? Kirsten and Donald are my favourite players btw. You are just being racists, the reason we have the civil war is because of how we reacted towards the Tamils but I don't condone or support the LTTE, they are a terrorist organization for attacking civillian targets.

[sjperera]

South Africa should have played the Semis and beyond...

[always4u4ever4ever]

You know why I hate Lankan Team? bcoz I hate The Ugly Tamils. And Your Team has Tamils in it. Or Else I like Sri Lanka as a Country. A Beautiful Country with even more Beautiful people. But you rely on Terrorist Tamilians like muttiah and as Tamilians in Lanka are bringing a Bad Reputation to India , I hate Tamils and The Lankan team that relies on Tamils.

[sjperera]

Murali is not a Tamil tiger and there's nothing wrong with Tamils. Stop being racists... it discredits your already discredited arguments and conspiracy theories. Tamils and beautiful talented people and I'm Sinhalese. Lanka did deserve to win, there was nothing going on with Spring bats or anything else... there are cleaner hitters than Sanath that could be charged of such stupid insane allegations. Sri Lanka must rely on diversity to overcome it's problems.

[always4u4ever4ever]

I am Not a Racist, but Tamilians are Racist.

 Be in India are anywhere in The world Tamils are Racists. Tamils are The Problem in The Whole World.

T for Tamils , T for Terrorists. I am ashamed that Tamils are a part of India.

[knkpnk]

Wow, you're truly the racist. Do you ever stop and think how dumb your comments are? You don't like the Sri Lankan team because it has tamils??

I'm not tamil but let's get one thing straight before you go blabbering on to someone about why you dislike tamils and get slapped (but dont flatter yourself..you are just an internet warrior);

Not all tamils = terrorists. Don't you have a large portion of tamils in your country btw? And damn, whatever does any of this have to do with cricket?

[always4u4ever4ever]

Yes we have and they never wanted to be with India, they wanted a separate country, during independence struggle they sided with the british.

They have No Respect for Indian Flag. Tamils are definitely Terrorists, they killed our former Prime Minister, because of Tamils we lost a Diplomatic friend in Sri Lanka. Tamils in Jaffna Peninsula are causing terror everyday. Probably you dont see the papers or hear News. Tamilians are a curse.

[sjperera]

Btw - Sri Lanka didn't need the Aussie or Windies points to qualify for the Quarters...

[always4u4ever4ever]

Yeah, you didnt require but you would have had to face SA and would have Lost terribly and hence used those gimmicks. Lanka didnt deserve to win.

[bubblerzstylez]

kevin petersen is NOTHING like a young lara you idiot! where you learn your cricket fool

[always4u4ever4ever]

Lara was Class!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[riqelme]

kevin peitersen is a lot like the young lara

[Sutch94]

Jimmy adams trained me

[always4u4ever4ever]

wow!!!!!!!! Really!!!!

Jimmy Adams was a Great Cricketer!! A Batsman, A Wicket keeper, A Bowler and A Good Fielder !!!!!!! He did everything including captaincy for His Team!!!!!

[anticlickwise]

w8in4some1, that shouldnt be a problem, what else cant they play... fast bowlers?.. can they catch something?.,. then they shud win

[MclarenMercedesHash]

was at this game, amazing

[mattb666]

I forgot how mad paul adams' action was lol

[rakeshiva]

the best world cup ever in the history of cricket

[warneinsane]

yea true, he was a great umpire though. One of the best ever. Can't believe he was a paedophile. Great video as well, this was the best worldcup, so many great players in every team.

[Arbiter72]

Lara's greatest World Cup innings I would think - the South Africans were hot favourites for this match. This was a strong World Cup - Sri Lanka, India, Pakistan and Australia all had very good sides. The Aussies should have won it. Note umpire Steve Randell, the paedophile officitaing in this match

[frobishero]

Fortunately the Aussies didn't win it.

[always4u4ever4ever]

unfortunately the lankans won by using spring bats n by threatening Aussie & WI Cricketers

The most shameless team. Nice to see the lankan asses whipped by all teams in Twenty20 WC and also at home by England :)

[sjperera]

Spring bats?!?! excuse me...?! oh gosh... we didn't threaten anyone... and excuse me... graphite bats and aluminium were both Australian...

[always4u4ever4ever]

Nope You used Springs Inide The Bats, after ICC Changed Rules and Criminalized it, Lankans faded, remember '99 WC? hee hee hee snath had to bite the dust :) And Yes, You Threatened Australian Team and Planned an Attack exactly near the Hotel where Aussies were supposed to stay adn issued threat to Craig McDermott.

[knkpnk]

always4u4ever4ever, could you please prove this in someway, perhaps a link to an article? This is the first I'm hearing of it.

And no, Sri Lankans don't do stuff like that, its only like Indians to tear down players homes and scare their families. That sir, I CAN prove.

[always4u4ever4ever]

everything need not be proved.

But, its a Fact that just a few yards away from the hotel where Aussies were to stay a Bomb Blast occured and McDermott was Threatened.

[knkpnk]

Hah, well I see it's impossible to have an argument with you. You can't prove anything (believe me such a big incident like that would atlesat spawn a couple hundred articles) and you've gone and stereotyped an entire people. If that was the case, I suppose everyone would be a terrorist. It's exactly your type of racism the world is fighting right now.

[always4u4ever4ever]

we Indians have Fought Racism. If you dont know read History.

[sjperera]

What the????!!!! Sooo wait... are you saying the Govt planted this "bomb" or the LTTE or the LTTE through the Govt?! Or wait SL Cricket is secretly controlled by the LTTE? no... ?? Please explain. Neither the Govt nor the LTTE had any connections to cricket prior 1996 - Jeez! Sri Lankan cricketers needed JOBS prior to 1996

[always4u4ever4ever]

yes, LTTE Through Lankan Cricket Board and Muttiah is the connection bwn the two.

[knkpnk]

Haha, Murali a connection...please go on! This is hilarious! And what else? Was Russel Arnold around a corner somewhere doing undercover work?

[always4u4ever4ever]

Might be, probably you know better.

[knkpnk]

No? Aren't you the one? Please enlighten the world with this knowledge you have secretly acquired that nobody else knows about.

[always4u4ever4ever]

Had enough.

[aussiesown]

didn't the windies also decide not to play in colombo for similar security reasons? and knkpnk.. what are you suggesting? that the aussies made up an incident coz they didn't want to play in sri lanka for no reason at all? come on mate.. this happened just accept it, and enjoy the fact that the lankans won the cup

[knkpnk]

No aussiesown, that's absolutely not what I was meant. Always4u4ever implied was that there was a terrorist connection between SL cricket and the LTTE, there never was..cricket has always been untouched by terrorism. Sure there were regular bombings but that's had nothing to do with SL cricket, or as a threat to any team/player, there's no agenda with them. What the aussies did were a general ruling; I wouldn't exactly be thrilled to go and play in gaza either.

[qpr22]

Just love Paul Adams' action at 1:37

[minnesotakabaap]

Please post India vs Pakistan semi final, 1996 Wills World Cup Quarter Final played at Bangalore...

[w8in4some1]

south africa always had a problwm with spinners. They cant play spinners

[mehrtens]

Worst decision eva to rest Allan Donald. :-(

[Nikamma]

was he no injured or something??

[Nikamma]

Cant U Split it in like 10 or 15 minute parts?

and what about Pak India Q.final at Banglore, Pak V SA+ Pak v NZ and Pak V ENg games?

[Nikamma]

[MHJanson]

That's a bit too big I think for YouTube.
