heard alan davidson bowled spin when they toured india ,dont know if he took any wickets,faintly remember zak bowling spin as well ,cant recall against whom.

 

West Indies. Even as a kiddo I found bevda annoying, was hyping him as commentator before the day started, the slow left arm wasn't effective. Those were patta wickets were Ajay Ratra scored a hundred in his third or fourth game.

How come?  He was a good player, but not a star that I would expect to see in an avatar.  Just curious ...

 

Not a star, but very few pacers have taken 100 wickets for India and he is probably only one who is kinda unknown.
