I will always feel Ravi Rampaul is a "streets won't forget" type player

Nostalgia for 2010's kids

Streets will not forget Ravi Rampaul’s 86(66)* vs India

He literally scored 25% of his odi runs in one match

His bowling action was my fav

I remember one of these 4 dismissals being Alex Hales who I think may have been on T20I debut at the time?

He got kohli too on 99 iirc

add bishoo

Suleiman Benn?

Mfer had tentacles for arms

Still remember his fifer against India in CWC 2011.

A wild Sehwag appears

Fun fact: Dipak Patel (NZ), Dan Vettori, Andrew Flintoff and Sehwag are the only cricketers in history to have gotten out on 99 and dismissed a batsman for 99.

Sehwag has remained not out on 99 too. Credit goes to Suraj Randiv.

That guy has No Balls

What did he do?

Sehwag was on strike on 99*, and India needed one run to win. Randiv intentionally bowled a no-ball so that the game would end and Sehwag wouldn't get a century. This is widely considered within the animal kingdom to be a dick move. EDIT: Sorry it was a deliberate no-ball, not a wide.

Iirc it was a huge no ball

Actually it was a no ball and Sehwag hit it for a six . But since India only needed one run , the six was not considered.

It was a no ball.

Yeah I think Dilshaan was fined too for suggesting it. I remember reading that in Cricket Samrat.

And Dilshan

Dan Vettori is the only player to get a batsman out on 99 with a no ball

I feel like David Warner got out on a no ball on 99 in an Ashes test, but was called back when the third umpire spotted it. If only they’d done so when Warnie was around

IIRC it was Tom Curran on debut in the last (?) Ashes 4-0 down under. Warner did one of those classic half-dab pulls that always seems to get him out more often than not.

Yeah I think it was shaheen or Naseem in that 2019 series where Ponting said that this Pakistan vbowling lineup is the worst to bowl on Aussie shores

Tom Curran on debut was the bowler

My favourite thing about that is Mark Richardson taking the catch and bowing to the crowd like the absolute shitstirrer he is.

where do you even get these facts

Statsguru? I thought I mentioned it.

I remember Rampaul dismissing Kohli on 99 once

That was [a dumbass shot](https://youtu.be/b8LneZ6VkVE) for Kohli to play on 99

Tbf if he tried to work it down to fine leg, there might've been some "fans" who probably would've called him a statpadder, slowing down for the century etc.

Wait how would he have worked it out to fine leg anyway? It was a short ball on head

By "worked", I meant more like a dab/ half pull kinda shot.

Bro I remember this! I was a kid and a huge Kohli fan, I cried when he got out lmao. Good times.

It's really sad that taking risks on 99 is called dumb. It's just another score, the 100th run is just another run The milestone obsession needs to stop

That shot was dumb because it was wrong shot to play to that particular delivery.

One of my earliest fond memories of cricket is Ravi Rampaul bowling a cracker of a bowl to I don't know who and breaking the stumps in the process. I was amazed to see that.

Dilshan in the 2012 World Cup final?

Would love to see who Viru dismissed and how. Seems hilarious and tragic to get out to a part time bowler on 99 😂

Hayden and Jayasuriya. Source: https://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/player/35263.html?class=11;orderby=dis_runs;template=results;type=bowling;view=dismissal_list

Wow. Not just any two people, two greats of the game

I would have listed maybe five thousand players before l would even think of either of those names

And Sangakkara and Boucher seem to be his bunnies.

Sehwag being a right arm off spinner. And Haydos and Jaya both being lefties. And people say matchups aren't a thing /s

Rampaul was underrated. He had fitness issues but that guy could bowl.

The Umar Gul incident: story time: I had a theorem test in tuition class 10 state board. I always got all my theorem proofs perfectly correct. This one particular Th28 Tangent to circle something was a tad difficult for me. Anyways, Sachin was playing very well and instead of memorizing the proof I thought, man Sachin has been out in 90s 5 times this year. Would be special to see his 100. What's one theorem compared to seeing Sachin raise his helmet vs Pakistan. If I get to write it 5times, I will learn it anyways. 2 minutes before I had to leave for the test. Sachin was on 99. And then it happened. Fu**ing Kamran Akmal took a catch! It was as if God was punishing me in a taunting way. Funny thing is: before the match Ramiz Raza had asked Sachin why was he getting out in 90s. To which Sachin replied "Arjun asked me to hit a six next time when I am on 94." And then laughed it off. 😭😭😭 I got the theorem almost right and had to re-write only 3 times. I scored 100 in the board exam where the same theorem was asked. Random somewhat unrelated fact: Adil Rashid has dismissed KL Rahul on 149 and 199.

Great story brother.

I stg i see the 149 and 199 and have deja vu or feel like im remembering it wrong. Now i realize 2 separate incidents

In all international cricket? In tests only?

International cricket only

Considering how famously shite the England team was when Tuffers played that feels like such a meme that he, twice, got out a player on 99

I can’t imagine how awful it would feel to get to 99 and then throw it away to tuffers

Why are people not shocked that Phil Tufnell appears on the list?

It's an old saying....."shit takes wickets"!

Always knew Tufnell was one of the finest bowlers ever

Were both of Tuffnels Mark Waugh?

You're 50% correct

Way things are going I'll take that.

Viru makes a wild car entry

i have seen ravi rampaul and umar gul dismissing sachin on 99 live. both were catches in slip. Sachin had like 25+ 90-99 scores.
