Pakistan Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 There was an Indian spinner in 80s who took 16 wickets on his debut against West Indies. I do not remember his name. What happened to him?
CSK Fan Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 Some other legends, lest we forget S. Sreesnath aka Shanthakumaran Sreesanth aka the booty shaking menace Pic above : Sreesanth just before the big crash The pride of Kerala, this express train arrived with a bang, ignoring all signals from the station masters. Unfortunately, the express derailed soon when he was caught with his pants down, red-handed using towels for not so hygienic purposes. Venkatpathy Raju, aka muscles Raju Pic : Muscles Raju in full glory This wily spinner who could spin it both ways earned his nickname for the lack of the substance. Unfortunately a strong wind blew him away and he was last seen over some unknown south district Ajit Agarkar aka helicopter ears Pic:And we have lift-off Agarkar was blessed with something no fast bowler in history was. Aerodynamically perfect pair of ears. He used these to generate pace and bounce. Unfortunately they hindered line and length. He still went on to become one of the most successful bowlers in ODI history. How talented was he? Most experts consider him much better than Akram himself Source: http://www.indiancricketfans.com/showthread.php?t=177595&highlight=agarkar Watch this space for more forgotten legends
