Azhar 1998 Vs NZ cricket

[riyaz306]

at 4:44 he played a helicopter shot, so MSD did not invent it btw

[f20haass]

he is an gr8 player and a gr8 captain...he should not hve match-fixd the games....he lost all the respect.......just look at his centuries a delight to watch...shame dat he did thaht........ny ways hez mended himself and is a mp frm u.p...hopefully he redeems himself by doing service to the people..

[navneetsohanpal]

the man has fast wrists.

[salllus]

truly a great knock - Ajju you are a legend

[gretgy]

One of the greatest india has produced.. was a treat to watch him play effortlessly with his flicks n pull shots. though thrown out of cricket..he continues to be having millions of fans all over.

[luvvhacker1]

azhar....a legend............. sachin selfishhh ass hole

[sganeshkumar1989]

@luvvhacker1 shut up.

[luvvhacker1]

azhar....a legend.............

[aizad3755]

Only in Pakistan- Azhar Mehmood played one of the greatest ALL time innings in test cricket history (voted #8 of top 100 by a cricinfo international panel) but he was neither sure of his batting position nor of his place in the Pakistan test side!!

[mohdrafihabib]

in the history of indian cricket sachin is the greatest batsman and azharuddin is the most stylish batsman ever..

[CM13492]

Great batsman but his part in the match fixing scandal cannot be overlooked he and Cronje have tarnished what could have been superb legacies for themselves

[hasimam]

What a batsman!! Grt joy to watch u azzu bhai!!

[bipinpanakal]

i dont know much..but for me....every shot s a celebration an orgasm..if u have calibrations on ur scale...lose ur life reading dem..lemmie celebrate

i loved azahr as a batsman..never as a person...

[bipinpanakal]

i dont know much..but for me....every shot s a celebration an orgasm..if u have calibrations on ur scale...lose ur life reading dem..lemmie celebrate

[kirtankkkk]

he hasnt hit a straight drive in his entire career.He used to flick the ball straight down the ground!

[prasad251984]

no ddoubt he is one of the sstylish batsmman

[prasad251984]

no doubt azhar was a  best battsman n his baatiig style ulltimate

[movohra]

THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST CRICKET INNINGS U CAN IMAGINE. WHEN HE WAS IN HIS PICK HE WAS THE BEST.

[movohra]

ANY CRICKET LOVERS WANTS TO WATCH THIS VIDEO AGAIN AND AGAIN. THE BEST CRICKET SHOT U CAN IMAGE AND U CAN PLAY. HE WAS IN HIS PICK HE WAS THE BEST.

[azamrizvi]

I play cricket at club level and there are times when I use my wrists to play. After playing those shots, I wonder in my mind if I was able to play it like him,,just couldnt get enough of his batting,,what a legend.

[jamezjamiezpro]

Where's the cover drive or the straight drive? Where's the pull shot? The real question is, why does Azhar bat like a West Indian player?

[kirtankkkk]

@jamezjamiezpro - he wasnt strong on ANY side of the wicket.Many a times,he just flicked irelevantly. he is the right hand batting avatar of the west indian Jimmy Adams. Both never scored wen required

[snehashree25]

He is a poet... a artist..... and legand



[ahmeds027]

he started out with tendulkar on the side, came to his hundred with Prasad, no wonder india never dd well that time, their was no strong middle order expect tendulkar n Azhar

[ccvs100]

Its a treat watching him play ,,,a light weighted bat ,,,,,using his wrists to just guide the ball,,,,play any spinner with ease ,,,,,we miss you azhar ,,,,,,,,all the class has vanished in todays batsmen ,,,,,just use u r arm power and swirl the bat 180 degrees and watch the cheer girls dance ,,,,dammm ,,,hope some 1 uploads more videos of his class

[ateeshvyas1]

Azharuddin was the best cricketer we have ever seen in our life,his wristy works were amazing ,great shots Azhar use to play great cut shots ,square cuts ,late cuts .His fastest century against NewZealand ,First INDIAN to do that,

his hammer lofted shots,amazing sixes he hit of Ata-Ur-Rehman in sharjha ,who can forget those moment. Azharuddin is a real Indian player we have seen that ,Azhar will always rule in our hearts always.

[ayaazcyclops]

class act - sachin azhar dravid and laxu..the class players of india..very elegant to watch

[Bernie8330]

At home in India Azharuddin was almost the equal of Tendulkar - particularly in one day cricket. I'll never forget his magnificent century against Australia in Adelaide in early 92 when he almost got India home to an unlikely, and what would have been a great test match victory.

The match fixing wasnt the only scandal at the end of his career (unfortunately) - he also left his wife and kids for an Indian film starlet just before that bribery thing came to light.

[itemno1]

all shots were square cuts on the ground!.. super..

[peacemaker185]

Its Shame all that match fixing took shine of his career..but He is very gifted player with writs shots..Awesom

[chinnaiitg]

azhar mama u are the best we love u

[bsingha]

Azhar is the only bastman who can effortlessy flick a deadly yorker of akram or waqar with such ease that their swing n yorker look pretty ordinary...

lara is the wrost player of yorker coz of his high backlift...how many times pakistanis has bowled him out like a tailender with yorker...

[desilva09]

During my school/college days in 1989-1995, I used to literally worship AZHAR. The elegance, swiftness and the wristy shots .. awesome .. still reminiscing in my mind. I used to walk like AZHAR, try to bat like AZHAR and throw like him (one-handed slightly slanted) ... the list goes on. I used to have Sports Magazine center-sheet of Skinny Azhar in 1989 timeframe preciously hanging on my hostel room walls. That stylish wrist play.. agile field presence used to adore me... AZHAR IS THE BEST

[writetokinshuk]

"chacha" was awesome....it was the days where cricket was a game of technique (involves lot of wrist)..now it's more of bottom hand.

[jaise1181]

perfect...genious....he is the best..

[ankurss]

pure class and talent!!

[sumitroin]

On of the most gifted players.. take a bow

[amsufyan38]

The most gifted player after brian lara in the recent times. Tendulkar does not even come close.

And NO he was no match fixer.

[nikhildays]

Take your Brain Lara's gift, and put it up your ass. We will take Tendulkar and ALL his recrod - runs, centuries, matches.

[moizhcl]

Very Classy, like an artist painting a masterpiece. Take a bow Sir Azharuddin

[JohnDunninger]

Just keep watching the scoreboard to know how crucial the innings was

[Istandaloneking]

thank you for uploading this video. it is masterclass batting from our 2nd nawab to represent india.

all young batsmen should study azza bhai's fluidity. I dont think there is anyone that can square cut or flick down the leg side with a simple yet elegant leg glance today.

[mkproductions08]

all i can say abot azhar is HE WAS MOST STYLIST CRICKET BATSMAN EVER

[m0han2003]

Ajju bhai.. your classy batting brought joy to millions.. 2:45 3:29 4:38 5:04

[akhzw]

forget past its time to enjoy cricket as indian team is doing we have hindu,muslim and sikh in the team and they are setting example to every indian and whole world that how to live and win together and i m muslim good luck to india for 2nd and 3rd test

[sammiaussie]

te bhen de yaara ik gal hor khabardar je ag to minority minority bullshit kitti je ma da put hai na lemme knw abt urself and we can sort this out outside youtube...i hate people like you....salleya tere mom dad ne ehi sikhaeya hai teinu???

[sammiaussie]

Taxfreebusiness teri ma di fudi madarchod i cant believe ini fudu gal vi koi kar sakda hai....i m a jatt sikh but i respect all religion te madarchod ur religion is in existence due to sikhs only and u very well knw that ma di lun teri je saleya tu meinu mil je na ik thapad peya na teri dhaun thale uthenga vi nahin

[SSNK101]

@sammiaussie hamziyu is right...Always ready to call put a blame on muslims. It's not ur fault. coz everyone does that these days some accept some don't.

[hamziyu49]

u never openley mentioned the word minority or muslim but if u ask any neutral person all your comments are hinting that.......... u never called jadeja deshdrohi u never called those minister deshdrohi who r taking rishwat and selling india to foreigners, as i said it in previous comment u have right to hate azhar but dont try to create tension by targeting whole community.... and let me tell u 1thing i liked azhar the way he used to bat not bcoz he is from minority .

[hamziyu49]

one track minded you r trying to call all minority .....desh drohi i think in your eye dr abdul kalam is also deshdrohi who made india superpower.. people like u who create tension

[m0han2003]

hamziyu49, yaar kuch log samajhthe nahin. Azza scored 15000 runs in tests + odis, all for India. won lots of tests, ODIs for India. His true fans stood by him, he was a supreme artist, he was human.

[hamziyu49]

you are right  mohan2003

[hamziyu49]

azhar was one of the greates batsman ever game has ever produced, hence never got credit for it. he ploted backbone for indian team by promoting tendulker to top order we all know tendulkar never scored 100 in odi for 83 games since he got promoted he has got record for 100s.

and dont forget dravid,ganguly,laxman and kumble were also came under azhar regime.

azza we appriciate your contribution to the nation. ignor media and some stupid who accused you for match fixing.

[taxfreebusiness]

ha ha joke..kapil and dhoin also won the world cup bcos of azar ?? ..the guy who forced ajay jadeja to take money and to fix the match...he committed sin by fixing the math..and also forced jadeja like people to make sin... but true legends sachin never fell to the trap of azar..bcos sachin is playing for his mother country...azar played for money and d gang..haha..now the guy joined politics...he sold indian cricekt..next may be our country...god can save us...

[hamziyu49]

ha ha big joke if he fixed the matches why it's not proven these are only accuses on him , and jadeja is an intelligent man not a baby who can be forced

[taxfreebusiness]

y asking me ..u know better..even some people are not happy to punish the parliment attacker ..so same people may be supported azar...bcs those peole never love our country india..

[hamziyu49]

i think u need 2 go and see thycritise coz u dont know what u r talking about u have rights to hate azhar and his fans but coparing azhar with palament attack is rubbish and quite low

[taxfreebusiness]

i know exactly what i m writing ...for us azar is desh drohi ..desh drohi is desh drohi...he may be parliment attacker or terrorist or match fixer ....every ones aim is similar...distroy our mother country india...we ll not support such peoples ..even if he a superstar or a god...

[iamrahulus123]

AZZU WAS AND IS THE BEST EVER!!

[charlieisgone]

do you really think azhar is gonna read your comment?

[sakeerbabu]

dhjjytc iuuyrtc v

[faizaskari]

Watching a batsman like azhar gives great amount of encouragement to any criicke lover like Me. I grew up watching Azhar, Its a delight watching him playing shots across the ground. Like me there are million of cricket fans who still consider azhar among the best cricketers ever.

[kirtankkkk]

@faizaskari - yeah sure...tats the way muslims like u learn to bet.I was a azhar fan.Die hard fan - now i wudnt spit on him..He has become a politician tht wud beg for votes in name of fuckin allah! and dont exaggerate his number of fans..Dont get too excited.Go do some namaaz in some fuckin madressa.

[egolessboy]

@kirtankkkk by the way, boy, those four 'k's in your name....you trying to improve on the ku klux klan by any chance? your foul breath brings no particular honour to hindus. take it easy, boy, just chill.

[kirtankkkk]

@egolessboy - did i step on to ur ego muzzie? take a pill.!

[egolessboy]

@kirtankkkk no, u're just trampling on your motherland all the time. wd have been fine...and only your problem...except that she's everybody's mother. so go gently, brother.

[mohdrafihabib]

@faizaskari u r absolutely right.. he indeed is & always would be one of the greatest batsmen in world cricket..

[ulfat123]

its great watching him.. makes me feel like .. go out in the field try play shots like'em..what say??

[YOURBHAIJAAN]

Please post Azhar's fastest 100 in one day cricket. And somebody has taken off his innings off 121 against England at Lords. After watching that innings of Azhar a famous person person had said that he could die peacefully now. Plz post more of Azhar as his batting is delight to watch

[roaringlion008]

these are all squarecuts

i want to see his wrist work

add more azzu videos plsss

[fleetwoodX]

cricket as fine wine as urdu poetry oh azza ur deft touch... if only u were not a bloddy crook

[porkerdude]

Does a hundred against NZ really count?

[67810234]

heheheheh that was a good one .....

[kc075086]

dude ignorant cunts like you say such things..just look at the number of wickets we had lost when he got that hundred..chuts like u never appreciate good things..do u???...chutya

[YOURBHAIJAAN]

Azhar was great batsmen in all forms of game, While Gavaskar was good only in Test and was very slow. Azhar was one of the greatest Indian player of all time. There is not an iota of doubt about that. He had scored 100's in crunch situation. As a player only Kapil could have been a greater player than him and Sachin might just hold an edge. But Sachin was a complete failure in crunch situations. India has never produced a player as graceful as Azhar. He was the Nawab of Indian Cricker.

[kaaliaz]

best batsman i have ever seen in my life

[aerostar2003]

Ajju Bhai Salam

It was my great pleasure to get to know you

we miss u azhar!!!!!!wat a inning..i remember watching this live!..i was in school and i and my dad were up watching this inning!..man i miss those days!..use to get up at 3.25 am..to watch matches in nz!!

[hinduwarrior]

If I may say, disgraced though he was, he was one elegant batsman indeed...very carribean in his shot-making, if less powerful, he made up for that with his style

[VICTIMofSYDNEY]

Azhar is like right handed Lara,classic elegance superb timer what a risty player.

Azhar mother fucker why u did that???????

[oliveting0110]

No mate, azhar is fukin loser, as r u.

[iamrahulus123]

Azzu bhai was the best!

[ericcartmansh]

anyone know when does india tour nz next, damn this is the only place where we havent won a convincing test match yet. One last chance for sachin and gang to beat them

[PurdueGrad29]

I know he's disgraced, but he was and still is my all-time favorite cricket player.

[jumpnjza2]

meh...big deal, so many players were involved in match-fixing, at one point even wasim and warne were involved...they had the evidence against azhar thats all...

[M4st3rm1nd]

does anyone know what music is that plays at the end (in the last minute of video)? Its really nice.

[pakiloser]

azzu bhai is the best batsman period :)

[tigersoup]

azzu bhai u r the best..the kiwis were jacked in this match

[highlander15]

love azza!

[riqelme]

hey...india's matches are all fixed, man....coz if u've been noticing fr the last 8-10 years...india's been losing or winning series' by 2-1 or 3-2 in each series & indian cricketers r a bunch of sukkers...they lost against bangladesh in the world cup...hope they get out in the first round itself

[lakermen]

The kiwis couldn't figure out the offstump was Azhar's go to shot. Pretty amazing player though.

[Enzedder]

India can have it's self-called "superstars"; NZ will just keep winning the matches with team work. It is a team sport, after all.

[raskinman]

pumle the aussies

[naruto345212]

good, but 50 from 87? o.O gilly got 100 from 56 or 57

[sssubhash]

So? That doesn't make this innings any less magnificent. In any case, 100 of 147 in NZ, that too in that era, was very fast by any standards.

[Huckit]

new zealand is 4million people where cricket is a minor sport. india is over 1 billion where cricket is the major sport yet new zealand is still better at it lmao

[Kiiiyah]

New Zealand has a major sport? lol

[Huckit]

yeh rugby. we are no.1 at it by quite a distance too. aswell as other things

[ayks17]

We'll see how New Zealand does in WC. India got the best players in the world and line up that nobody can mess with if they play to their potential.

[Huckit]

we just beat aussie in series u cant dream of that

[ateeqahmad]

good shot dude! Being an Indian, I am always amazed at what great drive the players from New Zealand have. I have watched Martin Crowe and Hadlee do fabulous things!!! Best of Luck for the cup!! And great job giving Aussies a drubbing!!

[gg162803]

hehe, i like it when jokers like you think nz is better than india in cricket..are you stupid? stop living in la la land and come back to reality..NZ is insignificant to cricket, both financially as well as producing quality players..thats the reality

[Huckit]

RSA

Australia

NZ

Pakistan

India

These are the rankings read it and weep because we will kick ur ass at this worldcup aswell

[gg162803]

I dont give a jack about the present rankings. One thing i know is for sure though, on a neutral venue, india is a stronger team than nz any day. on the subcontinent pitches, you guys cant even dream of taking a game away from us while we drew the test series with the aussies in australia which is a pretty big deal for any team, not to mention we fuck their asses whenever they come to india.

[gg162803]

NZ has produced no major cricketing icon after richard hadley..vettori, astle, cairns, fleming are good players no doubt but cant even come close to matching the class of Tendulkar, Dravid or Ganguly..and thats a fact..

[gg162803]

and if these rankings are so accurate, how do you explain the srilankans raping your ass in your own home..they dont even figure in these rankings, yet have a very good chance of winning the cup..

go figure!

[Huckit]

the series was a 2-2 draw moron. and the tour a year before that we beat them 5-0 in nz. they are overtime rankings. we also just beat aussie 3-0 in new zealand. i dont give a fk about ur ignorance of new zealand cricketing greats we are a better team and its a minor sport in a country of 4million.

[Huckit]

like i give a fck tho i dont even watch cricket. i will watch us win this worldcup though and waste your asses like we just did to sri lanka in the warmup game

[berrykey324]

kickedout NZ u better clean ur arse

[autumnof79]

One of the finest innings played by Azhar second only to the brilliant Cape Town tango with Sachin.The man on song was scintillating

[Riswan12345]

ela

[emiljose555]

Mohammed Azharrudin is someone I liked so much when i was a boy. Seeing him batting was waonderful. He helped India inmany crucial moments.Now We all know the value of Azhar, jadeja, kambli beacause of What Current indian middle order. They all are bull shit except yuvraj, he is a player india can look up into. We all miss u Azhar Bhaiiiiii

[voice4juctice]

Azhar is the best, most stylish and unorthodox batsman i have ever seen. Besides that he was the best fielder and has the safest pair of hands. A player who played for the team rather then for its records as we find many Indians players today especially Tendulkar. He was the second in the list of players who got out in mid 90's after Desilva. Don't forget the kind of politics he has to go through at that time he always batted lower middle order.

[Nikamma]

Azhar 2nD only to Zaheer abbas in cricket history for this kindaa stroke play, he Was one of the most exciting, batsman to watch in 90's

[autumnof79]

watched this way early in the morning.They tried Jadeja as an opener here . Disastrous!! Doull was swinging it like crazy. Beautiful touch innings. All class and unhurrried..

[SIMZYofNZ]

i was there! he was awesome. simon doull bowled the best spell of swing bowling ive ever seen that morning

[hilalsuhaib]

class player!

[diracs]

azhar bhai is grtttttttttttttttt
