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 know who was my favourite Indian cricketer in those days ::confused::

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
