Javagal Srinath's Best 1-day Score vs the Efficient and rarely Hapless Saffas ► Titan Cup, 1996

[@ragavvijayadev8900]

In my opinion the most hard working fast bowler who gave everything on the cricket field, be it his batting to save India, be it his opening spells or be it his miserly clever death bowling, Zaheer was the successor of Srinath, however injuries plagued his career. Srinath fought for the team like no one else.

[@09rakka]

Hardworking and humble...current Indian team members do not have such humility and humble attitude, except a few..all are into showmanship and with less emotion for international matches, courtesy: IPL

Srinath the next best Indian bowler after Kapil. He was a legend as a bowler and at times very handy with the bat. I remember his contribution with the bat during India toured NZ, used to wake up early to watch him bat. He contributed well during that series as well. Thorough Gentleman 🙏

[@ravishlover3945]

He just dint have the support from other end after Kapil Dev retired U need to attack the opposition n put pressure from both ends Unfortunately in that era every one wanted to be a batsman n India never had a quality bowler from other end to support srinath unlike all others countries had. That was the main reason srinath.coudnt take many wickets coz batsmen wud take runs of other bowlers n the pressure was eased off.

[@misinghs4]

that six against australia chasing the target in this series still gives me goosebumps even after 27 years of the match !

[@techBuffy]

I would pick Srinath over any Indian Bowler any given day in a Test Match. The guy won us Tests Single Handedly in late 90s with his famous Fifers at home. Not an easy feat by any means. Had to bowl against Mighty Lanka and Pakistan sides of 90s and a Strongish Zimbabwe. Anyone who comes close to or better than Srinath at this point is probably Mohammad Shami. Bumrah hasnt played enough and hasnt played a single test at home. Zaheer was bit of a waste of a talent for just 311 Wickets in 90 Tests. He won us some memorable games with the ball but stands short when compared to Srinath and the quality of opposition that Srinath had to contend with. That Said like Kapil was the lone warrior of 70s and 80s, Srinath was the lone warrior of 90s. One subtle difference between Kapil and Srinath was that Srinath could make the ball talk even on dead pitches because of his great seam position and banging the seam 100% of times. One thing that changed between 80s and 90s was the quality of tailenders. Teams like SAF had an un-ending tail in 90s

[@thederangedhermit725]

Completely agree with you mate.

[@hredeshsalathia3977]

No matchfixing by his colleagues, better catching by teammates and slightly economical bowling partner...would have resulted Srinath taking at least 100 more wickets

[@parasjoshi4526]

Correct Srinath was genuine quick bowler he was better bowler than Kapil

[@manishagandhi_2001]

Javagal Srinath was a good lower order batsman. He was good on bouncy tracks. He scored a fighting knock of 60 plus against the deadly attack of West Indies in the 2nd innings along with Sachin (85), Anil Kumble (42) in 1994..... Srinath also took 5 wickets & India won the Test match and Srinath was the Man of the Match for his alround performance. He also scored 76 runs on a windy, bouncy track of Hamilton. Because of Srinath's gritty knock, Rahul Dravid smashed 190 runs as Srinath negotiated the pace & bounce, stayed in the middle by scoring 76...!! Srinath & Anil Kumble were far better than Nayan Mongia. Anil Kumble too has supported many batsmen by staying in the middle without giving away his wicket. Who can forget Anil Kumble's gritty, fighting knock of 88 against the dangerous South African bowling lineup?? His 110 at Old Trafford (The only Indian batsman to score Century in that Series) & India won the Series in England after 21 years under the Captaincy of Rahul Dravid. Highly Educated, decent unsung heroes of Indian Cricket. Today's plastic toy cricketers should learn a lot from these real performers. Anil Kumble has taken 900 plus International Wickets and still he was down to earth.

[@MoviesNSports19]

Yuva Rajan then hypothetically few would make 50 from current squad. Can’t expect 200 like scoring on batting friendly pitches. With due respect don’t compare modern cricket with traditional 90s cricket. That time pitch was not as supportive as now for batsmen. You can take a 30 averaged batsmen and compare with current 40+ averages batsmen. That how is difficult to score during those periods.
