CRICKEEDA

In 1970, the ICC voted to suspend South Africa from international cricket indefinitely because of its government's policy of apartheid, an overtly racist policy, which led them to play only against the white nations(England, Australia, New Zealand), and field only white players. The ban was lifted in 1991 and after that Proteas never looked back and produce many great players like Jacques Kallis, Graeme Smith, AB DE Villiers and many more. But it is also a sad fact that only 11 players can represent the nation at one time and with plenty of talent it is not possible that every player gets a chance to play international cricket. So some talented players who didn't get a chance to represent their country migrate and explore their opportunities in other countries. Same is the case with SA, many great players in cricket history were born in SA but served other countries.  Let's look at such few greats of game.

  Remember these gentlemen together? I am talking about the Cricket World Cup series 2019 which was conducted at  England&Wales. I believe this was the toughest edition of a World Cup and a series. Unlike the previous World Cups, this time they didn't have teams like Scotland, Netherlands, Namibia, Ireland, Zimbabwe, etc. Competition was high and it was a  round robin format.  Every team had to face each other unlike the group stage one which has own advantages if NZ isn't kept in group where AUS is there. If we recall the tournament then maximum matches were low scoring too and teams defended well. Also there were many shockers. Bangladesh went on beating South Africa and West Indies and to New Zealand gave tough competition.  Prowess of Shakib Al Hasan.  He scored 606 runs most by a Bangladeshi in a tournament and became the first ever cricketer to score  500+ runs and 10+ Wickets. Then comes  Sri Lanka . They didn't go well in the tournamen...

  The decade 2010-20 witnessed some of the best innings in history of cricket. Not only some 100 or 200 but a match saving 70–80 can be also the best. Top 10 ODI Innings Of Decade 2010-2020 Lets take a look at some .(These are purely my opinions) 10. Kevin o brein vs England (113 off 63) Ireland has always been heavy on English players England, 2011 WC batted first and set a target of 328 Ireland was the underdogs and had 62 for 2 Out came Kevin to bat and boy we witnessed something from the man His 50 balls 100 is still the fastest century in WC .

  Cricket is generally referred as a Gentle Man’s game but we have seen players expressing their emotions on and off the field I’ll share the top 5 saddest cricket moments caught on camera according 5.Dale Steyn after losing semi-final of ODI WC 2015 Steyn gun fell on the ground after being hit for a six in the last over. That six had ruined the hopes of South African cricketers from reaching their maiden final. Even a player like  Ab De Villers  despite being known for having a good attitude on the field couldn’t stop crying after losing the match. That match affected Steyn so much that he couldn’t perform the same way after that loss. It was a sad affair for the SA side which was full of legends like AB, Morkel, Amla, Faf, Tahir, Miller, Dummy and many more. The fact that might hurt South African’s will be that their greatest player  ABD  could never lift the WC which he deserved the most 4.Virat Kohli after T20 WC 2016 This man carried the team’s batting on h...
