In a Career spanning over 30 years, X scored nearly 40,000 Runs with a highest
score of 267*. He scored 58 Centuries and 197 Half-Centuries. That is not all, he
also managed to take 4206 Wickets and 287 Five Wicket Hauls. If this isnt
enough, he tops this with his fielding record of 765 catches.
Y, another player from England, finished his First-Class career with 61,760 runs at
50.70. He scored 199 hundreds & 273 fifties in First-Class cricket. His name got

The concept of X was introduced in 2005, in which each team can have one player
who had to be named before the toss and can be brought at any stage of the
game. X is different from 12th man, he can bowl, bat, field and can do wicket
keeping unlike 12th man. This change was criticized by the captains as the team
who wins toss gets the greater advantage. In 2006 after protest by the players,
this rule was withdrawn by the ICC.

X had lost 3 of his toes in an accident when he was just 14-year-old, when forklift
truck had drove over him. He had said that it was the worst pain he's ever felt in
his life. When X was in the hospital, his father had asked Jeff Crowe if a New
Zealand player could visit him (to make his soon feel better). Stephen Fleming, the
then New Zealand captain, visited him at the hospital the next day.
X was seen pointing two fingers to Mcmillan in the match against West Indies in
WC15 as he became only the second batsman after Craig Mcmillan to hit the top
of the roof at the Westpac Stadium, Wellington.

X was a tactic used by a team Y against the opposition Z in a particular series.
Ys captain insisted that the tactic was legitimate and called it Leg Theory but it was widely
disparaged by its opponents, who dubbed it X.
Although Y decisively won the series, X caused such a furore in Z that diplomats had to
intervene to prevent serious harm to Y-Z relations, and the laws of cricket eventually
changed to curtail the number of leg side fielders.
Some of Zs players wanted to use X in retaliation, but their captain flatly refused & famously
told Ys manager, There are 2 teams out here. One is playing cricket, the other is making no
attempt to do so.

The ComBat was a cricket bat and the subject of a controversy that occurred at
the WACA cricket ground in Perth in December 1979.
Australia were playing England in the first Test, and were in trouble at the end of
the first day, at a score of 232/8 with X not out. When the second day of play
began, X emerged onto the field carrying not the traditional willow bat, but a
cricket bat made from some other material.
X decided to use it in the Test match as a marketing stunt, and at that point, there
were no rules against using such a bat. English captain Mike Brearley complained
to umpires that the metallic bat was damaging the soft, leather cricket ball. X threw
his ComBat away in anger towards the pavilion when asked to change the bat.

During Indias Tour of England in 2007, The test arena at Trent Bridge in Nottingham was
ignited after the tiny nugget of a confectionery item appeared at the short leg fielding position
- infuriating India's tail-end batsman Zaheer Khan . Zak swished the item away and started
shouting and waving his bat at England's Kevin Pietersen, who he clearly blamed for placing
the offending item on the pitch. Zak later took five wickets in 2nd innings & put India on a
victory seat.
I didn't know exactly where they were coming from, and maybe I picked the wrong one, but
they definitely came from a fielder and I just felt it was insulting. When I go out on to the
cricket field I am serious. This is a Test match we are playing. It definitely inspired me to do

Some hat-tricks are particularly extraordinary. Many of us remember first over hattrick by
Chaminda Vaas (ODI), Irfan Pathan (Tests) and by Malinga (4 in 4) .
But this one by X is quite special. X has a unique distinction of taking a hat-trick spread
across three overs and two innings! At the WACA, Perth in 1988-89, he completed a hat-trick
spread across three separate overs, two innings, and two different days. He got rid of Curtly
Ambrose caught behind with the last ball of his over and ended West Indies first innings in
his next over, by removing Patrick Patterson on the very first ball; and then in the second
innings after more than a day, completed his hat-trick by trapping Gordon Greenidge lbw on
the first ball of West Indies second innings.
X was perhaps one of the best at the art of sledging and was popular for his big moustache.
The popularity was such that it was rumored that he has insured it for 200,000 which later
on he claimed to be a false hoax. He was also offered 25,000 pounds to shave off his
moustache; an offer that he clearly declined.

Harsha Bhogle on the great batsman X :
Making his debut in Test cricket, X scored duck in both innings. They dropped him. More first-class
cricket. More runs. Waiting for that elusive call. And after 21 months, he got a second chance.
His scores: 0 in the first innings, 1 in the second. Dropped again, he went back to the grind. And scored
tonnes of runs in first-class cricket. Runs that seemed inadequate to erase the painful memories of the
Test failures.
Well, seventeen months later, opportunity knocked yet again. His scores: 0 and 0. Phew! Back to the
grind. Would the selectors ever give him another chance? They said he lacked big-match temperament.
His technique wasnt good enough at the highest level. Undaunted, X kept trying. Three years later, he got
another chance.
This time, he made runs. He came good. And in an illustrious career thereafter, X went on to score over
5000 runs for Sri Lanka. That included sixteen centuries and six double hundreds. And he went on to
captain his country. All this despite taking over six years to score his second run in Test cricket. Wow!

X reached the 1000 run milestone in test cricket in only 14 innings which is still the
national record of least number of innings to reach 1000 runs in Tests.
In his short bradmanesque batting career that lasted only 21 innings, X averaged
54.20. X is the first person of his country to score two Test double-centuries in a
row against two different opponents.
Xs poor shot selection, inability to change or develop his style, coupled with the
lack of mental focus required to Test cricket, led to his downfall.

leave the delivery. If a batsman leaves the ball, there's a chance the ball will turn inward and
either bowl him or hit him with an increased chance of leg before wicket. If a batsman plays
the ball, there's a chance the ball will go to the outside instead, leading to an outside edge
that can be easily caught.
In football, it is commonly used to describe an area where a cross or pass in front of the
goalkeeper and behind the last line of defence.

During Sobers record breaking 365 against Pakistan, the inventor of Reverse
Sweep, Hanif Mohammad was introduced into the attack with the hope that
Sobers would lose concentration and give his wicket away as a non-regular bowler
was in operation. However the 2nd ball of the over, Sobers hit a boundary thereby
equalling Len Huttons record of 364. In order to distract Sobers further, Hanif tried
something different for the rest of the over.
Other notable instances: Hashan Tillakaratnes last over against Kenya (World
Cup 1996) , Akshay Karnewar (recently in Syed Mushtaq Ali Twenty20 2016) and
Kamindu Mendis ( ICC Under-19 World Cup 2016)

In a triangular tournament in Australia with Zimbabwe, Australia and West Indies, Zimbabwe
played their final match with Australia and X got a chance in the team. Zimbabwe needed 15 runs
to win the match in the final over, which was to be bowled by Glenn McGrath. X moved across to
the first and third balls he received from McGrath and scooped them over his shoulder to fine leg
for boundaries, reviving hopes of an incredible Zimbabwe victory. But he was just unable to
complete the job, and his team lost by two runs.
His two courageous and unorthodox boundary strokes made him famous as the inventor of Scoop
shot, with the shot becoming known as the X shot or ramp shot.
In 2002 he Xed" Zimbabwe to a famous win in India in an One Day International at Faridabad,
India with 56 not out at the death, although this time he used the shot against Zaheer Khan.

Ramnaresh Sarwan played the ball to square-leg and ran for a single. When he ran past the
bowler X, to the surprise of many, X asked: What does Brian Laras dick taste like?
This was rather odd, coming from X. But, he did ask Sarwan the question; and Sarwan
responded: I dont know. Ask your wife.
Under normal circumstances, X would have accepted that hed asked for it. While a little
voice pleaded for him to ignore it, something just wouldnt allow him to let the slur go
unchallenged. Xs fingers were pointed at Sarwan, and the words that came out of his mouth
were not exactly the kind youd associate with the legend.

This definitely has to be one of the greatest innings in ODI cricket. They won the
toss and elected to bat on a bouncy pitch at Tunbridge Wells and got off to a
disastrous start, losing 5 wickets for 17 runs as the Zimbabwean bowlers led by
Kevin Curran made full use of the helpful conditions.
The irony of the whole effort was that was that the match was not covered live by
BBC, the broadcasters of the tournament as they were on a strike that day and
hence no video footage of the game is available. The ground was ruled as too
small with the two countries being deemed too irrelevant for a camera crew to
be sent to the match.
