India vs South Africa: the standout performances

Video: Chanderpaul's amazing finish to beat Sri Lanka

After the Windies innings had crumbled yesterday, they needed 10 from the last two balls.  Step forward Shiv Chanderpaul - the rescue specialist.  Innings round up here.

On the rare occasions he wasn't moaning, Andy Caddick could be a pretty good bowler

As can be seen here: taking four in an over as the Windies crumpled to 54 all out in 2000.

Titanic Triples: Sir Len Hutton, 364 vs Aus, Oval 1938

Not to be outdone by The Don, The Len takes it upon himself to beat the Aussie's record in the fifth Ashes Test in 1938.

Dale Steyn - the new kid on the block

Dale Steyn has today taken 5-23 to play a huge part in demolishing India for 76 in the second Test. The young fella already has an average of 21.72 and has beaten Allan Donald's record as the fastest SA player to 100 Test wickets.  England fans should be taking a look at this fella, as his away swing will cause truckloads of problems over here in the summer.  Here he is taking 6-72 recently against (albeit shite) West Indies.

Titanic Triples: Brian Lara's 375 vs England

Brian Lara breaks the world record (the first time) against a humbled England.  Part 1 here, part 2 after the jump.

Titanic Triples: Graham Gooch, 333 vs India, 1990

Continuing our looks back at triple-centuries, the moustachio'd maestro tonks a mighty score against India at Lord's.

Titanic Triples: Don Bradman, 334 vs England, 1930

In celebration of Sehwag's magnificent effort, let's take a look at other great triple-centuries.  Starting with The Don breaking the world record back in 1930 at Headingley.

Video: Virender Sehwag tonks 319 off 304 balls

As is usual in matches where such a high score is made, the draw is looming.  However, that doesn't take away from what an incredible knock this was; the fastest triple century in history.  Sehwag is special, but he is not hard to work out - he wants to hit every ball for four.  It's a high risk approach, and he runs the risk of being dropped if it doesn't come off consistently (like for most of last year).  But when is does work, like here, is there any better sight in the whole of cricket?

Video: Tim Southee's 77 off 40 balls

The young fella scores the fastest fifty in NZ history, and the sixth fastest of all time.  A beauty.

Andrew Symonds boshes a nude man

I don't how I missed this the day it happened, but our Australian correspondent has quite rightly drawn my attention to it.  Andrew Symonds absolutely munching a streaker in the recent CB series with one of the best RL style up-and-hits I have seen since Kevin Ward retired.  Rumour has it the Roosters are on the phone to his agent, and to be fair he is the perfect physique for the game. 

Sir Richard Hadlee shows that not only Jacob Oram can frighten the life out of England batsmen

Remember when Steve Harmison could do this?

Looks like it's turning into Harmison day around here.  Here he is taking 7-12 in the spiritual home of fast bowling, Sabina Park in the West Indies.  If only he could have captured whatever he had that winter in a bottle to sup from for the rest of his career, we would not all be so disappointed.

England vs New Zealand, day five, video highlights

Face the horror/enjoy the trouncing* all over again

*Delete as appropriate

Video: Remember what happened last time England had a weak attack against New Zealand?

This happened, that's what.  Nathan Astle tonked 222, the fastest double hundred in Test history.

Video tribute to Adam Gilchrist

See ya Gilly.  It's been emotional...

Fabulous five-fers: Simon Jones, 2005

Ah, the days when England were good.  Simon "Knee-Knack" Jones takes 5-44 at Trent Bridge in 2005.

Stephen Fleming dishes it out to Shane Warne

Supercool Stephen has today announced that he will retire at the end of the England series.  Here he is at his best with Craig McMillan in 2001-02, clobbering Warney all over the shop.

Fabulous five-fers: Brett Lee vs India 2008

Super Sixes: Sehwag vs Andrew Symonds

Monkey streaker at Australia vs India

Very tasteful bit of streaking at Adelaide, I'm sure you'll agree.  On another point, are the stewards here not the slowest and most useless set of enforcement personnel you have ever seen?  Apart from Mike Proctor, obviously.

Super Sixes: Shahid Afridi scores a twelve!

Afridi hits a ball into the roof of the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, a shot that scores 12 in Power Cricket.  I must confess that Power Cricket rather passed me by, in fact I don't even remember this event taking place in the Welsh capital.  Still a fabulous shot though.

Super Sixes: MS Dhoni clobbers Pakistan

India take an unassailable lead in last year's ODI series vs Pakistan, via a massive victory six from their captain.  Outstanding.

Classic hat-tricks: Harbhajan Singh, 2001

Harbhajan taking India's first ever Test hat-trick.  Those who are not aware why Aussies are not too keen on the turbinator, look and learn.

Oh the humour...

Classic hat-tricks: Irfan Pathan

Many hat-tricks are often a tail-end clean up job, so a three that accounts for quality batsmen is particularly special.  This one, from India's man-of-the-moment Pathan, is such a hat-trick, accounting for Salman Butt, Younus Khan and Mohammad Yousuf.

Classic hat-tricks: Shane Warne, 1994

Boxing Day test 1994.  Shane Warne takes a hat-trick of bamboozling quality as Australia beat England by a mere 295 runs.  Although, to be fair, one of his victims was Devon Malcolm.
