Kanhai dominated without any arrogance and in that is perhaps the Asian way. Humility!

Quote:During his glittering days of international cricket, Rohan Kanhai played many a scintillating stroke — some of them far beyond the scope of the most liberal cricketing syllabus. His falling sweep has not been repeated, with either the finesse or success, even in these days of innovation brought about by instant cricket.

Nice read except :
At Edgbaston, the veteran Guyanese batsman came in on the second afternoon.
Mail prefer " west indian batsman "

here is another record he held. Keep in mind this was 1974, right after he had no option but to retire from test cricket. He wanted to go to India that year to end his test career but it was not to be.

This was one of the reasons why they called him back for the Worldcup in 75. After Sobers could not make it they asked him cause he was in outstanding form!
