yuh ketch the chaiman out Googs! :D :D :D :D

but wadekar frustrtated crap out of Sobers and the west indies in 1971.  out of me too..and west indians fans.

the man was on Sobers like stink on s..t....always a step ahead.  Indian batsmen not falling like ten pins..sardesai and gavaskar cyant get out....venkat, prasanna and bedi spinning rings..and waderkar dong the right thing consistently

pheeeeeeew!  that was real hard to swallow.  but it was a turning point in cricket history.  waderkar led the change, prepared the ground for Indian cricket today.  Ganguly and Dhoni stand on his shoulders

you are correct.  Wadekar was the Indian version of Worrell.  He paved the way!

allyuh never guess!

'Jaisimha'... the opening batsman ::LOL:: ::LOL:: ::LOL::

dat fella scored some hard runs for India and by 1971 I had come to have some respect for him.  he did not score well on that tour but he fought hard..especially in the fifth at the Oval..third innings of the game

SerenaThis batting performance by the West Indies in the second innings blew me away. I kept closing my eyes and then rubbing and opening them again and sat transfixed as I watch that unbelievable partnership between John Campbell and Shai Hope. What a magnificent performance by these two! It just goes to show that patience, determination and effort can go a long way to improve the performances of the West Indies team. Let us hope that this effort by West Indies batsmen would not be a one-off performance, but will be the beginning of a renewed effort to improve the performances of the team, going forward.(13.10.2025, 09:28)(09:28)0

WarrenJameis Winston is asked about being named QB3 on the Giants' roster behind Russell Wilson and Jaxson Dart:

"As a competitor, you want to be the starter. But I prepare to be the starter, I know I'm a starter in this league.

But you have to be able to be grateful for your role...my role right now is to assist Russ and Jaxson to be the best that they can be while preparing to be the best that I can be.

No matter if I'm 3, 33, this is my first year being number 19, so it's always a first for everything.

I focus on what I would love. And what I would love is for this team to have success."		(13.09.2025, 10:58)(10:58)0
