From the Vault: Sangakkara's Hobart masterclass
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 сен 2024
- Chasing a near impossible target of 507, Sri Lanka's Kumar Sangakkara majestically compiled 192 against Australia in 2007 before he was dismissed in unfortunate circumstances
And he only got out due to a bullshit decision. Absolute class was Kumar, as an Australian I miss him so much.
You'd be the only one then. The guy who gets a helicopter to a charity raising event and then guilts white people into apologising for being white
.. yeah right. What a top bloke. I was there. He's a POS.
True
@@TonkaGoldman-xd5iw why you mad bro? 😂
@@jakisjc why are you an idiot?
@@TonkaGoldman-xd5iw no, the questions is why are you ? 😂
The Sangakkara cover drive relieved my depression.
Really claasy cover drives those..typical left hander's class
My also
❤️❤️❤️
mark waughs off his pads made me pregnant.
Stupid decision by umpire put me into depression.....
I don't know why people don't recognize him when it comes to the list of greatest cricketers of all time . In tests people talk about lara, dravid, tendulkar , ponting but they forget to say his name. He was also a cricketer of that era, of bowlers like McGrath, bond, akhtar, brett lee, warne, akram, and so on. Still he has an average of more than 57 in 134 tests. More than 28000 runs in international cricket followed by 700 dismissals. Oh please he was a champion of that era. Probably one of the most classic and Orthodox left handed batsman with a fantastic wicket keeper, what a champion player sanga was💕💕💕. Love from india
True bro ❤️
@@wasathweerasinghe9628 yess bro and he was one of the nicest human beings also. Always having a gentle smiling face even after the biggest loss. I can never forget his smile after loosing the 2011 world cup. Yess we are happy that our nation won but i can feel for him💕
@Pratham sharma Lmao then using that same logic then Kohli shouldnt be mentioned in the conversation
@Pratham sharma even kolhi has failed badly against anderson.
Yeah bro
Yes, the man standing behind Sanga (Adam Gilchrist) is pioneer of wicketkeeping but the real champion I think is Sangkkara. 12400 runs in 134 test matches 14000+ runs in nearly 400 ODI followed by 700+ dismissals and his captaincy... Oh my god!
One thing left, his sportsmanship... How many of you remember his smiling face and beautiful speech after losing WC 2011 against India...
Legend!!! 🙌🏻
Love from India 🇮🇳
He retired from T20 cricket after winning 2014 T20 WC against India and it's the Revenge of him for loosing 2011 WC ODI Final.
Also, Gilchrist never had to face his own Australian attack, which was the best in the world for much of his career.
@@kennedysan1045Gilchrist could smash lee, warne and McGrath like a cakewalk on his day easily and obviously he faced them on training ground
@@rahatmahmud5435 he averaged 47, I doubt that would've been higher if he had to face Australia every two years.
Gilchrist was great but not as consistent as Sangakkara. Sanga's test batting avg is actually higher than Lara, Sachin, Ponting, Kallis, Hayden and many other great batsmen of his era.
So that's how Australians denied Kumar Sangakkara from breaking Don's record of 12 Doubles
He is one of the 2 batsman to be not out on 199*😭
Rudi Koertzen is South African, not Australian.
@@GURPARKASH06 Australians Paying Him 😂✌️
@@GURPARKASH06 they are racist, nationality doesnt matter... When its between black n white, they back white only.
U know idiot, Don Bradman was once not out on 299 else he would have had 3 300s take that
Sanga's drives has a separate fan base!!
Right 👍
I always think him as the greatest ever wicket keeper bestman and one of the greatest batsmen of all time. Huge respect. From 🇮🇳
❤️❤️
He average 40 as a wk batsmn
he was a really good wicket keeper batsman but Dhoni was better then him in keeping but an absolute pleasure to watch him play!!
He wasn't. In white ball cricket Gilchrist was better and in tests he had a low average as a wicketkeeper.
@@arishsheikh3000 bro someone says that Sangakkara has a test batting average of 70 @. As a batsman ?
When he becomes a wicket keeper his average was 57 @ ?
How bro can you explain ,pls 😭 .
he is the only left hander who scored 12000 runs true legend
Sir Alastair Cook is right there with Sanga
bro alastair cook has more then him lol
@@eagledeathwish avarage ??
He is the 3rd best lefty in history..lara nd Gilchrist are top 2

Thank lord for DRS. That was an appalling decision. Unfortunate end to an amazing innings.
BTW that umpire Rudi Koertzen deliberately retired due to DRS, he didn't want them to use it
@@boomstand2872 he is no more now.
If there was DRS that time..He would have equaled Sir Don Bradman's record..
Yes bro
Ever heard of the 🦋 effect?
@@siddhant4320 but if when umpires have to take a doubtful decision, he went to the pavilion before the umpire gives the decision. Therefore with him, DRS is in the favour of him, When we talk about the butterfly effect.
@@chathurangaherath9970 u certainly didn't get my point
He already equaled
If not for Rudi’s woeful decision, sanga would have definitely stacked up a double ton and who knows, maybe more. Sri lanka were chasing a mammoth score, but yet sanga was still solid in the middle. We had more than an outside chance not only to win our first test on Aussie soil, but also to cap it with the greatest chase of all time. 😞
And even with bradman also😪❤️
What are you smoking? Sangakara was still at the crease with the score at 294/8 chasing 500 there was no way Sri Lanka was going to win this test
You don’t know about cricket dude, 143 runs more, anything possible in cricket.
@@dsw1998 dafuq do u know about cricket mate..watch kusal janith perera 157 against south africa in south africa...no one gave sri lanka a chance...
@@dsw1998 364 for 8. Only 143 runs more
They should've really called him back to bat . Victory with dishonouring this great inns is not a great Victory
Worth reminding you that he was playing against Australia. You'd be holding your breath a long time waiting for them to do that. Great players? Undoubtedly. Great sportsman? Not even close.
@@michaeldwatkins_ Agreed
@@michaeldwatkins_ cheating is in their blood
@@prasanjitdevnath1982 Racist.
@@TonkaGoldman-xd5iw how is that racist If i am telling the truth ? The history speak for itself
This will always rank as one of the greatest knocks I've ever seen, unbelievably crisp strokeplay
Poor umpiring cost his another great innings ... absolutely beautiful innings 🏏🏆️❤ The Legend Sangakkara ❤
He was so criminally underrated....probably the best left hander to grace the field.
Yaa because Lara doesn't exist. Nice. Throw up some stats now that he averages 57+.
@@Aman-nk5uq he is underrated.. you cannot deny he is at the very least one of the greatest
@@Aman-nk5uq Like averaging 57 at no.3 and wicketkeeping is the easiest thing in the world..Do you know any player like that??
@@sanjusabu5488 His test average as wicket keeper is 40
Lara was not consistent like Sangakkara..sanga look so dominant and comfortable..lara is more entertaining and flablmboyant but not as consistant
One of the best inning's player by a batsman in a fourth inning in Australia. He would have scored a lot more if the umpire's decision wasnt wrong.
Even though I am an Indian,he was my favourite cricketer since childhood. I remember I supported Sri Lanka in Wc 2011 and 2015 jus t because of him. It was after his retirement i became a fan of India.
He is the 2nd best player i have ever seen after Legendary Sachin.
Just his records say it. Sri Lanka is yet to find a class player like him right now. I love him not just because of his batting but his personality too.
Hope Sri Lanka comes back
Too bad ur living in India and supporters SL but India won the world cup against sl in 2011 and reached the semis in 2015 sadly Sri Lanka was
No comments
Ahahhaha baap ko seekha
@@White742 Ind did plaster them in 2011 WC QF.
sri lanka get up
Really appreciate ur kind, authentic words
What a player! 4th innings of test against Australia in Australia... truly a masterclass ❤️
That's why they somehow denied him Aus dearly holds on to their records no matter how awful it looks. The difference between Mighty WI & pathetic Aussies
That was a shocker of a decision to end an absolutely magnificent innings.
What a shame 😔
Splendid knock
He made everything look so effortless
What an entertainment and treat to watch. He was toying with Aussie bowlers. He is a legend for a reason. He scored 4 hundreds in world cup 2015. He is a real ambassador of this beautiful game
I literally cried when he retired in 2015
One of my all time favourites and one of all time greatest ❤️
This cricketer commanded respect in everything he did, I was fortunate enough to follow his career.
Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardene. Two class players. It was like watching poetry in motion. Lot of respect from India.
Ppl Admire Kohli N Babar for dere Cover Drives bt dis man's Cover drive has another Level....jux amazing♥️♥️
Correction nobody admires babar
@@drdoom9475 lots of ppl do not me personally
Intuder many people do
He is the father of left hand cover drives. Kohli and Babbar are kids in front of him.
Totally misjudged by the umpire. What a majestic knock by Sanga! ❤️❤️
Sangakkara's batting :- Amazing
Those full tosses :- Appalling
That Umpiring decision :- Atrocious
I like the way Cricket Australia RUclips Cheenal celebrating the success of overseas players. In this way they are celebrating the success of Cricket.
A sensational innings from a true legend. Could’ve scored more but Rudi had other ideas
The shot at 4:07 will stay with me till the day I die
Best wicket keeper batsman ever
Lol averages just 40 as wk batter in test cricket
@@abhishekn987157 Average❤️
I remember watching this. Genuinely thought Sri Lanka was going to win until he was incorrectly given out.
Maybe something like mathews malinga Melbourne miracle could happen we never know
Someone tell Stuart MacGill he’s aloud to use the pitch
True more full toss
😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
*allowed
@@anaghsankardas8067 I thought he is mentioning 'loud' until I saw this 😂😂
One thing I admired of sangakkara was his ability to use his feet to the spinners and chip the ball back over the bowlers head
Not only the spinners but the fast bowlers too & he was its top best while smashing any sort of pace attackers.
The man with the attitude of never die
Masterclass, 1 of the greatest of all time..huge fan from Bangladesh..miss ur masterpiece..
His Cover Drives r always treat to watch he was absolutely Masterclass Sanga you beauty😍
0:16 sheer elegance ❤️
legendary left hander king sanga you are proud to our country ❤️🔥🇱🇰
Sanga pure master class gentlemen👏🏻👏🏻❤️
One of the Greatest player of all time masterclass ❤🇱🇰
One of the best Innings of Sanga I have ever seen....
SUCH crisp Strokeplay.....
You will always be a Legend
🙏🙏🙏🙏
Though he was a part of 624 partnership with mahela, this is the inning that made him as the batsmen of the team that always look for🔥🔥🔥 timing and placement against lee and jhonson were immaculate ♥️
Still, no over reaction when he qas wrongly given out, that too when he was nearing double century,true legend
Sangas's highest score in Australia👌
But still he deserved one double ton in Aussies soil since he had that potential
Indian guys need to stop taking this stance less seriously it harming them in long run because they get pretty bad at back foot as they keep on playing thats it gets really hard for them to play short balls & wickets like England Australia south Africa . unlike foreign players who are best at backfoot .hardik pandya is backfoot player ' hes killing it.its not always necessary to develop a stance we should choose the one what is more comfortable (i.e steve Smith). plus if you're a good at back foot you're likely to play well against most of swing deliveries because you got time &can play close to the body unlike front foot where you have to commit forward
Kumara was great at backfoot
Legendary player & a match winner.. One of the best in the business. As many had commented, I also feel he is an under-sung hero.
When I see this clips always make me sad 😔😔 just because of that bad decision
I have realised that in past...on Australian soil....umpires were used to be so biased and were always in favour of Aussies.
2:19 cover driver bhai class he alag hai bande ki meine apni life isse acha left hand bantsman nahi dekha legend 🙌🙏
Absolute Pure Class batting Sir Sangakkara 🔥🔥🔥
One of the finest left handers ,in crckt.
K sangakkara ,classical technique with ability to score big hundreds.
This was the innings which kind of proved how underrated he was. He basically outbatted Gilly in his own backyard and averaged way more. And did it against tougher opposition for a far weaker side. But people still insisted that there was no debate as to who the greatest wicketkeeper batsman ever is at the time.
Best srilankan batsman. Elegant and a treat to watch
My all time Favorite player Kumar Sangakkara.
Respect from India🇮🇳
Thanks for all these great videos amidst this lockdown Cricket Australia!! Much needed respite
His test average is the highest in all the batsmen of the world who have scored 10000 test runs.
Dravid, kallis , Sachin, Lara, Gavaskar, border, ponting, .
Only second to Bradman as a pure batsman.
So gracefully resisted the decision and walked away.
Class play
No one cant replace him
Legends never die
The mas was pure class, his style at the crease, his timing and balance and range of strokes were as good as anyone's. His cover drives had the crowd purring. Probably my favourite non-Australian player. Much respect from a one-eyed Aussie supporter.
Girl:- Am I so pretty?
Boy:- Hah..., you may have never seen sanga's cover drive.
Legend sanga❤
Compare that Sri Lankan team with the current one.
Current one is like old Zimbabwe
Sri Lanka is like Old Bangladesh team now 😜
@@tharinducrg exactly dude :)
But remember that current team beat proteas in their backyard 2-0
SEXY NETWORK they still have some talent but very inconsistent compared to their old teams.
Thanks Cricket Australia for this incredible memories!
Some of those shots. My word. Might be best aggressive batting I have seen.
Lara, Dravid, Sangakara, Tendulkar and VVS Laxman...the best batsmen of that amazing Cricketing era!
If only we had DRS, many innings like these would have been even more fruitful. Sanga was unlucky but he is a classy person both on and off the cricket field. Legend of the game. Have really high respect for the guy🙌👏
He is a brand of world cricket ❤️
Greatest keeper batsman ever .
He showed the game spirit after given out wrongly by the upmire👍
Most elegant cover drives . As smooth as butter .
Right 👍
This game should have been talked about like edgbaston 2005. And Lara’s 153, Sanga did not look like getting out that day. Probably the most tragic innings of all time
Sanga is criminally underrated, what an inning! But that was a ludicrous decision, deserved a double ton surely.
Great player really he is. Love from Pakistan
Talk about seeing a cricket ball like a football...Well few of his shots looked liked kumar was seeing it magnified!!!
Probably why he was given out as well lol. That had to be a football for it to hit the bat and be given out like that 😁
Aussies doing what they do best, led by skipper Ponting: claiming a dismissal dishonestly.
Loved watching sanga bat... Would find his spot purely as a batsman in any all time XI
simply a legend of the game ♥️
Best wicket keeper batsman ever in cricket history love from India 🇮🇳
Sangakkara is pur class. One of the greatest of all time
No player comes close to the benchmark for cover drives set by Kumar Sangakkara!! Lovely.
Right 👍
Sanga the Legend❤️🇱🇰
My Favourite Wicketkeeper Batsman
And One of The Greatest Batsman of All Time🐐
He Has Most Double Hundreds after Don Bradman 😮
6:24 Ponting made the decision, umpire agreed with it.
A rare batsman in the world of cricket who could swing his bat like a sword at any end of the field 🔥🔥
There is no way to explain the sweet sound that used to be in Sangakkara's cover drive 😍😍
Ever since I understood cricket, Sangakkara and Gilchrist have been my favorite players in my life ❤️❤️
Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩❤️
and some fool think Dhoni is best wicketkeeper batsman😂🤣😂!!!
lol
obviously he is in odi...look at avg..its over 50 for dhoni
Gilchrist the best wicket keeper batsman in test
Dhoni the best in odi
Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha, well said, he was best in both formats, look his records, he is in Sachin, ponting, lara, kallis category, how can we compare him with dhoni and Gilchrist, he is best wicket keeper batsman ever
@KD Entertainment stats are the only thing that matters in cricket...nothing else..
Always masterclass🖤 what a legend 🇱🇰🔥
When someone says Sourav Ganguly is the God of offside... Show then this innings!!!
He is still god of offside but his onside shots were terrible......sangakkara was a complete batsman.....off and on both.....but still his off drive was as catchy as ganguly..... personally i love lara more than ganguly and sangakkara.....though i m bengali
@@sabarnyabarman6419 only for indians lmao
@@Bruh-ys3sxShut up idi*t😂😂😂!
He was such a classy player and one of the greats.
0:16 Legendary cover drive.
He is my favorite left handed batsmen...........if present technology were at that time ,they would have scored many more centuries that they have scored already...but absolutely a masterclass from the legend .
The greatest left hander , EVER!
Maybe after lara.
Good comedy 😁
@@rajeshrao5099 tell me someone better than sanga and lara
@@isurumw6119 Gary Sobers but he came before the live TV era mostly.
I was just a school boy and I cried when he was given out at 192. mistakes can happen yes, yet what a poor umpire decision!
Such a great player
6 hundreds in last 12 innings..absolute domination from sanga! One of the best cover drivers of that era! ❤
No wonder he said “ you’re joking “ or something similar when he was given out. That was a ludicrous decision. DRS was on its way because of things like that.
What a humble and polite personality he has!
One of the worst decision ever in cricket history
He was clearly Not out not even close.
Brilliant batting excellent century
BEST LEFT HANDER THE GAME HAS EVER SEEN
Lara?
So many Umpire help to the Australian.... I can't believe that out .Sanga is a gentleman of the cricket..
