De Ghumake (Hit it hard):
This song is the official ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 anthem! http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=OAsfaDoBZpo |
A really funny wicket!
Shahid Afridi, former captain of the Pakistani cricket team was dismissed by Shakib Al Hasan, former captain of the Bangladeshi cricket team. The dismissal is comical because it hit the body of the other Pakistani batsman, Misbah-ul-Haq, which helped the bowler take the catch! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-X0HPHR6aF0 |
Coin hitting challenge:
The challenge was between Graeme Swann from England and Muttiah Muralitharan from Sri Lanka. Both of them are celebrated bowlers. The challenge was to knock off a coin standing on the rim of a glass that was standing on one stump. The task requires extreme precision. Muralitharan won the challenge. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epyZcMDny4E |
Sachin Tendulkar innings:
Sachin Tendulkar from India is argued to be the best batsman in the world. He is fondly called 'Little Master', owing to his height and his absolute mastery over the sport. The following video shows him batting one over (6 balls) in a match versus England. The shots he hits are clean and controlled. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIS9texALy8 |
