Hall of Fame articles

[kabira]

I think we should all work together and come up with Hall of Fame of Indian cricketers. We can start with Greatest Indian cricketer of the century, Kapil Dev. I vote Lurker to work on this...After all he is great Paaji friend.

[Lurker]

Re: Hall of Fame articles Done. :wtg: Would be an honour to write about Kapil Dev Nikhanj, the greatest cricketer India produced...and Wisden agrees...

Re: Hall of Fame articles I dont think Kapil is the "Greatest Cricketer India has Produced" Greatest All-rounder, yes. Greatest Cricketer, no. :hmph:

Re: Hall of Fame articles Yayy for Kabira. Kapil Dev dos(2) SRT nada(0) [your vote doesnt count HS] :bum: By the way Kabira, why not compile a list of players, Indian and abroad, that we would like to have articles about. Maybe start a poll or something?

Yes Pataudi was great. I wouldnt say awesome but certainly in the rung right under the top bracket. His problems was he would deliver only in testing conditions. If you check his overseas record would be much better than that at home. There is a funny anecdote about Pataudi. After he had lost his eyes he didnt play for a little while. Then he was in England(maybe leading the side I cannot recall really) when an English commentator asked "How did you ever think of coming back to world cricket after having lost an eye?"..His reply was "Well I decided to come back the moment I saw English bowlers..." :hic: :hic:

Re: Hall of Fame articles but isnt it impossible to judge the flight, and the speed of the ball, with one eye? How did he manage to do that?
