Sourav Ganguly's YouTube moments
In commemoration of Sourav Ganguly, who retired yesterday, here are some memorable 'dada' video clips from YouTube.
1999:
Shoaib Akhtar dents Bengal's pride - I happened to volunteer to edit the Cricinfo headlines section, and used that rather provocative headline, when Akhtar's short ball hit Ganguly in the rib cage, resulting in Ganguly retiring hurt temporarily. There was a lot of 'interesting' feedback (by Bongs) to Cricinfo's editorial team after that headline went up!
Teeing off against Sri Lanka at Taunton during the 1999 World Cup.
2002:
Providing a blazing start in the 2002 NatWest Series final after which he forgot to keep his shirt on.
Turned down an offer of bad light and mounted (along with Tendulkar) a thrilling assault on some very tired England bowlers.
In the company of Sehwag, he totally destroyed England at the ICC Knock-Out in Sri Lanka.
2003: A highly motivating century at Brisbane.
2004: A sensational assault in the first one-dayer at Karachi.
2005: Worried about turning up at the match referee's room again, so he makes it clear to Mohammad Yousuf that he doesn't want that situation to come up.
2006: Scintillating comeback which ended up helping India win a test in South Africa.
2007: First international century at his home ground. First test double hundred at Bangalore.
2008:
Edged and 'caught' by Michael Clarke at Sydney.
A match-winning 87 against South Africa.
Off the field:
Looking very out of place while dancing in a commercial.
Appearing in a commercial asking for everyone to support the Indian team.
Oh, and by the way, I will be at the test cricket tomorrow!

David Fulton retd hurt b Bowling Machine
I just came across this pretty scary video of David Fulton, who played for Kent, getting injured while facing a bowling machine in the nets.
Whoever was operating the machine didn't obviously wait for David to confirm that they could have the machine 'bowl'.
Watch the video at the PCA website. The BBC has some quotes from David.
Trivia: Viv Richards' final first-class innings ended when he was caught by David Fulton off Carl Hooper for 83.

Cricketing suicide
I normally avoid using morbid cricketing metaphors, such as "Finger of death", "That was a suicidal shot/run", etc.
But I can't resist posting about these two videos connecting cricket(s) and suicides!
