Good Business...the man alive and well....AT 79

Charlie Griffith knocked him  unconscious for six days, requiring a blood transfusion :

for which West Indies captain Frank Worrell was the first to donate his blood...


IIRC , someone opened a window and the sun glare was straight in Contractor eye ...dem days there was NO sight screen !


But the Indian ended up with Afro mixed blood .... life was saved but his international career was abruptly ended as a result...

Nariman Jamshed Contractor !

The name Nariman is a common one for muslim GIRLS in Guyana ...

the way allyuh does go orn one wud think Worrell's blood wudda bounce... allyuh supposed to be so different
> > >

but its real good to see Contractor has done so well after day event.

great news!

Calm down ...de fellah is Parsi if you know what I mean 

{AAAh!  Parsi..Iran, Zoroastrian.

I see }

(anyway I found the answer I was looking for on genes.  tenks)

More importantly did ou witness the 4 :

Nari , Polly , Faorokh and Surti :

back in 1962 ...Trinidad ?  :-\

yes I know the 4...

Engineer was my fave Indian batsman then.  he used to keep as well.

Rusi Surti was a left armer  medium pace..all rounder.

Umrigar was one of their best batsmen. 

I can almost name that 1962 team from memory...Borde, Prassana, Sardesai, Durani, Contractor, The Nawab, Nadkarni.

with the 4 above thats 11.  and by the next 10 minutes I will have the rest

yes I know that quartet well.  I did not know the Farsi part of it
