After the Titan Cup victory over Australia in Bangalore, that Srinath and Kumble pulled off batting at the end, I met Srinath at a local medical shop. I was ten years old and couldn't believe who I was looking at! I immediately had the shopkeeper get me a Srinath crikey card, had Srinath autograph it, and handed it back to him, which of course he thought was weird, but kept it. I went away beaming to my home, which was just walking distance away. For all these years, it has been a mystery to me why I did that because I had forgotten the details. Tonight, after watching the match highlights on youtube, I remembered! I was exhilarated at what Srinath had done in this match, with expert Dhoni-like guidance from Kumble. 30(23)* !!! I had asked Srinath to sign the card, and then pointed not to his bowling record, but his batting record, and told him that in that moment I was a fan of his batting, and he should also remember and recognize his batting talent, so he must keep that card as a souvenir. O Lordy! One of Life's mysteries solved for me! Mosher, The Dark Horse, Gollum and 12 others 1 14 Link to comment
