Switchblade Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 Okay guys starting a thread where we can share and post about former players about whom we don't hear any more. I just met a guy from Zimbabwe at my workplace. He told me he was a big follower of Zimbabwe cricket in the late 90s. He said he was the neighbour of the Whittall brothers of Zimbabwe. Guy and Andy Whittall Does any one remember Guy Whitall and Andy Whitall? The all rounders who used to play during Andy Flower's time? He was explaining how Andy whitall started became a Math teacher in some local school and Guy Whittall is a hunter now in Zimbabwe and has some ranch bussiness.. So there it is, that's what the Whitall's are doing now. It was interesting to hear all of that. I think we can make this an interesting thread by remembering all old former cricketers from different countries. Let's share if you know about any retired player and what he's upto. Stick to the players who are not involved much in the media. Nice thread tics recently there was news during September 2013 that a large crocodile was sleeping under Guy Whittals bed , Guy was not aware of it and luckily the crocodile was not hungry or in aggressive mood so Guy was safe. Andy Whittal getting smashed by Sachin in 1998 finals in Sharjah I remember that final.Andy was a descent spinner
Switchblade Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 Fanie de Villiers: Since his retirement, De Villiers has worked as a television commentator in South Africa and also works as a corporate speaker. He was a judge in the 1995 Miss World pageant in Sun City. De Villiers has become involved in raising money for deaf charities as he has both a brother and a daughter who are deaf. He outfoxed tendulkar many times who was best along side with lara during his time. He used to dismiss Sachin with his slower deliveries and if I'm not wrong he was rumoured to be our bowling coach back in 2003-2004 I think
Switchblade Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 Brian McMillan: McMillan has also been a professional teacher in a Durban university. He currently heads an office automation firm in Cape Town. Well during our 1996 tour I used to be afraid of him that he will dismiss Sachin sadly he did in that Cape Town test where Adam Bacher took a stunning catch of Sachin

Chief tormentor of Indian bowling attack was a good batsman now leader of Tableeghi group if I'm not wrong
Switchblade Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 Gavin Larson was doing commentary few years ago where is he now ?
rkt.india Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 Guys' date=' anyone remembers Hemang Badani?Just heard his name is in the auction list for IPl2014.[/quote'] That list will be pruned once franchisees shortlist the players they are interested in and he will definitely be removed.
rkt.india Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 He used to dismiss Sachin with his slower deliveries and if I'm not wrong he was rumoured to be our bowling coach back in 2003-2004 I think He used to swing big.
Switchblade Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 He used to swing big. The 1996 Sharjah tournament comes to my mind where he got Sachin with a slower delivery plus he made 67 against us in the 3 test match series at home in Kanpur if I'm not wrong
