Javagal Srinath 6/21 Devastating Spell Scripts Dramatic Win for India!! Ind vs SA 1st Test 1996

[@arvindramanathan6278]

Srinath’s career graph would have looked very different if he played in today’s times. A genuine quick, he was hampered by the lack of appropriate pitches, poor conditions and lack of fast bowling culture that existed in India in 90s through early 2000s. India relied on spin and spin only to win matches. Fast bowlers really had no role to play and sometimes he was in the team just for the sake of having a fast bowler. 70-80% of the bowling was in the hands of spinners. His job was to mainly take the shine off the ball and prepare it for Anil Kumble and the other spinners and create the route near the crease with his bowling. Azhar and Tendulkar mismanaged him by allowing him to bowl his heart out on India’s dust bowl pitches where the ball never rose over the knee pad and the pitch had nothing to offer the fast bowlers. Also, the man had no real fast bowling mentorship. Kapil, never the tear away fast bowler himself, was waning and at the end of his career by the time Srinath arrived and was more focused on prolonging his career. The less said about Prabhakar the better. So Srinath was India’s lone fast bowling warrior on service and had pitiable bowling partners in Venkatesh Prasad, Abey Kuruvilla, Ajit Agarkar, Debasis Mohanty. Not really anything to write home about. Not many people mention this, but India’s pace bowling unit today owes its origins to Srinath for mentoring the likes of Zaheer Khan, Ashish Nehra and others. As well as Captains like Saurav Ganguly who understood Srinath’s pace bowling skills and used him as a potent weapon, not just as someone who’ll slam the ball to take its shine off…. Srinath with his pace would have been a vastly different bowler had in played in today’s times.

[@nikhilanandhegde4781]

Though Kapil Dev’s performance was waning , the team selection kept him on to surpass Hadlees record . Srinath could only play abroad ( 3 seamer’s). This kind of selfish politics limited his ability

I was 14 when I saw the SA destruction by Srinath. 9th Standard ...Oct/Nov 1996....McDowell Test Series ....25 years ago !! The same test series which introduced VVS.... Same season Srinath & Kumble won us that amazing Titan Cup ODI against Australia in Bangalore....Same season Sachin led us for the first time as captain against Australia in Delhi in the inaugural Border-Gavaskar trophy...Nayan Mongia scored 152 as an opener against McGrath & Reiffel....we had a new quickie who made brief news : David Johnson from Karnataka play against Aussies at the Kotla....Seems just like yesterday. The amazing ‘90s....simpler times...an era gone....Wow time flies.

That day we imitated these legends bowling action also. Good memories and goose bumps while watching these videos. And we remember the brand of Indian batsman bat also. Reebok for Azharuddin,MRF for Sachin,Four square for Mongia. Golden days and thank you friend bfor sharing your thoughts..

[@sam107548]

Legend! did not get the credit he deserves. Aliaster Campbell former Zimbabwe captain said he was faster then Donald. He still holds the record of fastest ball bowled by Indian.

[@kanakTheGold]

Yes, it is said he used to bowl 150 kmph+ regularly. Fastest is suspected to be 156-157 back in those days, even before Lee & Akhtar era. Sreenath was so far ahead of any other fast bowler for 20-30 years.

[@ragavvijayadev8900]

@@kanakTheGold In the 1999 WC, Srinath had clocked 156.7 Kmph in a match against Zimbabwe(which we lost). However it was quickly overshadowed due to India's chances of qualifying for the super sixes stage and moreover the speed guns in England were not calibrated as per ICC standards as per a few reports, so this delivery remained unofficially India's fastest delivery bowled. Javagal Srinath was spotted and picked in the 1989 tour to England and since then, he has been the next big thing in the post Kapil Dev era of fast bowling. A veteran of 4 WCs 92' 96' 99' and 2003, he was still fit to play the next WC and could have bowed out in 2007, but with emergence of Irfan Pathan,Aashish Nehra,Laxmi Shukla it was always a good decision to retire the old war horse. New spearhead Ajit Agarkar and Zaheer Khan were doing splendidly well and Srinath himself said in his final interview that the future of Indian fast bowling is in safe hands. Unfortunately after a spectacular 2003 WC bowling effort, the final v/s Aussies totally decimated Srinath's last hurray and left me teary eyed. The old war horse had left ODI after giving his all. A unselfish bowler who bowled his heart out in every match. The following tour to Oz starting with the tests meant that Srinath would only be considered as a test bowler, but after the announcement of the series, Srinath bid adieu to test cricket saying its all over and his body(shoulder) was not the same after the rotator cuff surgery and the long spells in test matches were too demanding and was the right time for him to hang his boots. J Srinath will remain forever as the only cricketer who never let his exhaustion come in the way of delivering the goods for the team. A 100% effort cricketer.

Look at the reaction of this man a true legend and gentleman 👏👏👏 no show off.

[@ashishmurali9047]

He single handedly spearheaded Indias fast bowling with Prasad doing whatever best he could. Prasad was effective mostly on foreign tours but Srinath could make life miserable for most batsmen on all kinds of pitches with his high arm action and leap. Not to forget his valuable contributions as a pinch hitter. A true legend.

[@ragavvijayadev8900]

Yes, his pinch hitting is often forgotten. It was post 96' WC when Srinath was used as a pinch hitter along with Nayan Mongia at times at 1 drop to give flying starts. Ajit Agarkar later made that spot his own but not for a long while. Irfan Pathan and Zak provided useful lower order runs and with emergence of Sehwag and Yuvi who gave good starts and stable muscle in middle order, pinch hitter concept died.

[@WPS691]

It's good talk, but most good bowlers 'single-handedly' spearhead their respective country's fast bowling. Srinath was a par bowler...not a fantastic one.

[@Moordenaar69]

Lacked a proper partner and supportive fielders. What a smooth bowling action!

The greatest fast bowler of India. Because he won games for his country on dead flat tracks where conditions suited for spinners.

[@aj27781]

Most under appreciated player - Javagal Srinath. To bowl on those dusty tracks when India played 3 spinners all through his prime and hardly any backup bowler to talk about (Venky Prasad too slow for any impact) - hats off Sri. I am always thinking what he could have done in a 4 pronged pace attack at this time/age for India when bowlers are “load managed” (Bumrah, Shami, Ishant, Umesh Yadav and others). People talk about Akhtar taking all the limelight but Pak had splendid attack with at least 3-4 other fast bowlers as back ups. Sri was fast (and more hit the deck rather unlike Akhtar who was fast through the air).. and imagine those dusty tracks where he bowled all those long long spells. Was amazing to see him evolve his reverse swing skills later in the career. He is among the only few who haven’t tried to seek the limelight/money after retirement when everyone else has gone down the coach/mentor of an IPL side path. Dignified and amazing player.

[@srikanthan1000]

He never had a proper partner at the other end. And that severely affected his bowling. He couldn’t develop his armour of deliveries fully bcos he was highly restricted by the lack of a good fast bowler at the other end. That meant he had to perform multiple roles all by himself which generally meant he couldn’t target wickets and had to restrict the run flow . Very unlucky bowler. Also had a shoulder injury that meant he had to remodel his action and come back. Most ppl wrote him off but he he came back with his new action. But this did affect his bowling which is why he never became the bowler he promised to be in the 92 World Cup. The original Srinath was probably the best bowler of the time and that included Akram , Younis , Donald and a whole lot of others. I blame our cricket admin at the time cos they never encouraged fast bowlers properly and mismanaged most of them.

Indian cricket had a lot of politics in the 80's and 90's. With a country of close to if not over a billion at that time, they had a lot of quick bolowers. However, we never got to see them due to the politics. Think of it this way, if a country like Pakistan could consistently produce top quality fast bowlers, what was stopping India which had a bigger population I agree that Srinath was the only genuine fast blower and very underrated.

Not exactly correct, he was an attacking bowler, rarely saw him bowling defensively.

The most underrated fast bowler cricket have ever produced, but he is a trully legend and in my views the best fast bowler india have ever produced , zaheer and agarkar carried long time legacy of the great Jawagal Shrinath 🇮🇳

[@gauravpunekar9995]

Jawagal Srinath the underated bowler of India.

Nice swinging bowling. One of the best pace bowler for Bharat.

My favourite player all time best... Batting se bhi bahut match jitaye hai sreenath ne Deshbhakt cricketer.. injury hone ke baad bhi khela... I salute him

Cricket legend of 90s, I was in school, good old days.

[@sandeeplvrs]

That was some insane swing 🙏

[@TIGERZY2K]

The match when pace bowling legend Javagal Srinath went into Jai Srinathji mode as his deadly 6 wickets haul helped the Indian cricket team beat South Africa with 74 runs while defending a small 2nd innings target of 179 runs.

[@MaheshKumar-yj8nc]

There are a few bowlers whose action are so smooth that they always stay in your mind - Anderson, stern, Donald, srinath, Mohammed sami( Pakistan) umesh yadav and few others. Srinath’s action and his length were really good

[@jogi470]

Javagal Srinath the genuine fast bowler.

[@deepchatterjee5123]

Actually javagal srinath was world class bowler no dout about it even 1998 99 pakistan series was also very bowled by srinath in eden garden but the problem was our batsman was too much scared of wasim and shoaib and india lost the match and srinath never had genuine fast bowling partner last stage of his career he got zaheer khan in 2003 world cup and indian bowling performance was tremendous except 2003 world cup final

[@Unknown-yv7xy]

He missed hattrick in that match

[@deepchatterjee5123]

@@Unknown-yv7xy yes it was unfortunate

[@harshajila1984]

i think Laxman dropped Anwar of his bowling in the 2nd innings; he went onto score 180 i guess, but stil Srinath ended up with 8 wickets.

[@Unknown-yv7xy]

@@harshajila1984 not Laxman but Azhar dropped ,rest facts are right(188 instead of 180)

[@harshajila1984]

@@Unknown-yv7xy oh thank you :) story of Indian fielding throughout 90s, we used to lose frequently to Pak as well. He was a bowler with a big heart, unfortunately not much support from the other end.

Javagal Srinath is one of the best fast bowler of India.

[@abhijeetnerurkar1698]

Outstanding pace bowler had he got shami n bhumrah for company he would have been devastating.

[@saurabh14399]

Still so many are talking about Kapil Dev & Zaheer Khan for best bowlers from India but real gem is Javagal Srinath... He is most underrated bowler who can bowled 140 kmph plus at the retirement time also and he is the one bowler from India who give breakthrough to India in first over by most of times! 🔥🔥🔥🙌🙌🙌🙌

[@bmmr]

One and only one ☝️ Mysore express Javagal Srinath 🏏👏 , an Engineer who became top bowler for India

Most underrated cricketer of india in javagal srinath since he was from south india

[@livestrongd4818]

Srinath Legend 🇮🇳

[@abhisheksinghshekhu]

He was and is my favorite cricketer, he was unfortunate that he was in indian 90’s cricket team. If he was in Australian or South African team he could be the world’s best baller. You know why i am saying!!!

[@subbalakshmi4573]

What a magical spell by Javagal Feel sorry that he was not given his due Always remember his generosity inletting Kumble get all 10 wickets in a innings

[@santhoshsamprathi2482]

ನಮ್ಮ ಶ್ರೀನಾಥ್. 👍

[@narasimhakotapati4840]

My favourite bowler , I like his action

[@sumhalster]

Srinath's best bowling performance came against undisputed World Champion Australia in 2000 at SCG in a one day match. Defending only 100 runs, Australia were 50 for 5 due to Sinath's devastating bowling. Then Sadagoppan Ramesh dropped a seater from Andrew Symonds in the bowling of Srinath and his spell was finished shortly thereafter when Australia were 64 for 5. After that Australia had no problem to reach that target. Had that catch was taken, austalian bowlers had to come to face Srinath, God knew would happen.

[@arunk3874]

We beat a super strong South African team!!! Great effort!!!!

[@luvabhi3]

Went to school feeling sad that South Africa will easily win the match. I was ecstatic when the evening news told us that Javagal had destroyed the SA line up and won the match. I just remember some clips from the newsreel. Great bowling. Great reverse swing as well as new ball bowling. All genuine wickets where batsmen were beaten all end up.
