Pl Sir, cross check your info with Wikipedia before putting them up on the web!<br />Thanks very much.<br />Besides this, your message to and about Dhoni was loud and clear. Dhoni too realizes it. His utterance after the shocking match with South Africa (Already sitting pretty in the quarterfinals)that "You don't play for the crowd, you play for the country!" should deliver a very clear message to his otherwise very capable players.Dabluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15706390513491806460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8323210.post-41093245108392991952011-03-16T13:45:18.641+05:302011-03-16T13:45:18.641+05:30Viv Richards made his debut for the West Indies in...Viv Richards made his debut for the West Indies in November 1974 against India, while Colin Cowdrey played his last Test in 1975, his 114th, as an emergency replacement in Ausrtalia. Richards actually took over the mantle of captaincy of the Windies in 1984. So the two of them meeting at a toss, is a virtual physical impossibilty. The best I can say for M.J. Akbar's flight of fancy is that, had they met in such circumstances, the events that followed could quite plausibly have been the way MJ describes it !<br /><br />Of course, it might well have been Chris Cowdrey, but then the incident described simply does not quite have the same quaint resonance and romance, without Sir Colin.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05257057306922317532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8323210.post-24408536202548679562011-03-14T14:37:29.409+05:302011-03-14T14:37:29.409+05:30Dear Mr. Akbar,

This is according to my knowledge. May be you would like to check the facts.<br />regards,Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18084024947285683774noreply@blogger.com
