booth70

Highs

My best moment of the year ....India winning the world cup what else:)

Watching that classic battle between Tendulkar and Steyn in Capetown in the first test match of the year.....that was test cricket at its best

Best innings of the year....Kevin O'Brien's ridiculous 100 off 50 balls against England in Bangalore in the World Cup

Lows

India getting beaten black and blue by England in the summer what else:(


But this takes the cake when it comes to my favourite individual cricketing moment of the year..................

Apart from the World Cup, the individual highlight was probably New Zealand winning in Hobart. It has been a long wait to watch that, even longer than an India away win. Great scenes with Vettori and the tight finish:pac:

More generally Lancashire winning the Championship and the recovery of the longer form of the county game as opposed to 20/20. Also the health of Test cricket generally outside the Subcontinent with spicier pitches and very tight finishes. It has brought some bowlers to the fore...Wilander and Pattinson doing well and that Steyn v Tendulkar battle.

And...having Tendulkar wait for that 100. Great moment of complete silence in Mumbai when was out for 94. Every innings or next innings is 'the one'.:P

Lowlights...batting collapses everywhere in Test cricket and the standard issue South African collapse at the World Cup against New Zealand. The complete inability of India or Australia to bowl at England and the absolute necessity of Zaheer to India's bowling, the Summer being pretty much over competitively when he was out injured.

Dozen Wicked Words

High: Englands test performances

Lows: Englands one day performances and Northants missing out on promotion after the wheels fell off mid season.
