Cricket Old Matches Talk Time: India vs England 1992 World Cup

Tweet

So while the current cricket series across the world and the upcoming world cup cricket 2019 to be held in England keep holding my keen interest, I do, from time to time watch clippings or highlights of some old matches. So today I saw this match between India and England of the 1992 world cup. It was a close match in which England won by 9 runs. For England, Graham Gooch scored 51 and ably supported Robin Smith who scored 91 runs with 8 fours and two sixes. In response, India fell short by 9 runs and that too due to some late hitting by S.Bannerje who scored a quickfire 25 of 16 balls not out towards the end. Initially, K.Srikant - 31, Sachin Tendulkar- 35 and Ravi Shastri 57 all tried to take India through but kept on getting out. While the match by itself is not much significant, but it can be shown as a study in that if we keep on losing wickets, it does not helps much, and that if we are persistent, we can win even tough matches.
