Waqar at his peak, during '90-'94, may have been the most lethal exponent of the yorker the game has ever seen. He coupled sheer pace, say 150 kmph, with sharp in-swing making his yorkers doubly dangerous. Shoaib Aktar & Brett Lee may have had even more pace, would have regularly clocked 155+ kmp...

Jimmy Cliff - Many Rivers To Cross. BTW, this Sinhalese version by Chithral Somapala is also quite impressive & had been pretty much a hit in SL in late 90's.

Quite superb. BTW, what a song it has been ...

A classic example for how serene a song can be ...

What a precociously gifted batsman he had been .... I remember this over quite clearly for two reasons. One is the hammering Warne got by this rooki gifted batsman who promised so much by then. The other is it's during this over that I came to know that Lara is 320+ not out against England in the...

J'ya was needlessly run out for 99 in 83 balls. The end result: SL lost the game & were eliminated from the VB series finals 2002-2003 despite S'kara making a 50 which was only a slow affair in a game which demanded some faster scoring. What a familiar story.

Love the dreamy effect in most Enya's songs. Just superb, in a league of her own ....

What a wasted batting tallent. Had he been developed as a more conventionally attacking proper batsman for which he was clearly capable of as his superb first class record reflects, he could have ended up with much more glories. Sadly K'witharana himself never understood what loads of batting tal...

The 1st time he was given the chance to bat in the top order was when he was asked to bat at no.3 against Pakistan in Sharjah when SL were chasing 300+. J'ya got a 60+-ball 50+, still SL lost it comprehensively.In the next game against the same opposition, he scored an even faster 60+ runs, still...

Quite eternally classic.

Nice. A good experiment. At the end of the day, it's these experiments would give you the sense to come up with your own masterpieces in future. Keep it up.

@vishuwalker Sorry, I cannot recall T'kar playing such an explosive innings during the initial phase of his career, in either tests or ODIs. I know he added a whole new dimension to his batting after '94/'95 after being promoted to open the innings in ODIs, but what I had mentioned was before '94...

This is stunning. What a voice Richard Marx has. A contemporary classic.

This has been a stunning creation. It's almost 2 decades old now, still a hit.

What a voice, what a tallent & more than anything else, what a remarkable soul he had been. I still wonder whether what he could have achieved had he not been affected by the monstrous Vitiligo which can take toll out of the performance of anyone affected by it because of the sheer mental stress...

May be one of the lesser known songs by Dayan Witharana, still this song, may be rather its music, has a certain style which I quite loved since the first time I happened to hear this almost a decade ago now. The video may not be the greatest match to this song though.
