Episode 2: The Sharjah Chronicles - a last ball 6 and an 87 allout

A match that was lost was turned around by a master-class culminating in a last ball 6. And then another match that was for all practical purposes lost turned around by a magical spell in the field - both bowling and fielding.

In this episode we touch upon two games -

The final of the first Austral-Asia cup that ended with Miandad hoisting a Chetan Sharma full toss to snatch a very famous last ball win. A game that set the tone for years to come for games between India and Pakistan especially in Sharjah.

And the first game of the 1985 Rothman's cup when the newly crowned WCC champions were rolled for a measly 125 and then fought back to bowl Pakistan out for 87 through a collecting bowling and fielding effort.

Episode 1: The Multan Declaration

Never before or since has a declaration by an Indian captain led to so much discussion, debate, hand wringing and in many cases anguish.

Of course this is about the declaration by Rahul Dravid on March 29 2004 at Multan.

A Sehwag 300 (the first by an Indian) had powered India to a magnificent 675 and set the stage for pushing Pakistan hard in the first test of the series. In addition to the Sehwag masterclass (and was it one) there was some wonderful batting by Sachin, Yuvraj, Inzi, Yousuf and a brilliant 6-fer by Anil Kumble on that road of a pitch as well some excellent bowling by Irfan Pathan. The same test match that also saw the entire of Saqlain Mushtaq's wonderful career.

But even more than 21 years since that game, references to the game would almost surely only focus on a declaration made with about an hour to go on second day of the game.

Was the Indian skipper on the day right in making that call ? A question that continues to unite and divide cricket fans all over the country.

We from the AOFNL team had a wonderful time reliving that moment and once again were left with really no answer to that question.

Take a listen and let us know what you think.
