Old Cricketers Except D.S, the undesirable

Old Cricketers Except D.S, the undesirable

This bit is a "gossip", I made to a local paper.

I do hesitate to write anything about present cricketers except Mahela (not necessary for Sanga, with a big wag) for posterity.

They are our Rohan Kanhai and Kallicharan duo.

There is no looks like for Vivian Richards on record.

Cricketers (all good cricketers should do that) used to walk away (like Mahela) if they felt they were out without leaving the agony for the umpires to guess.

Our cricket Board is corrupt to the core like our politicians.

Politicians (even after heroin) and board officials (big mess in cricket stadiums and the grass they used to overlay the corrupt practices, which even our milking cows won't partake ) never resign!


1. Kehel I knew him well in cricket and police.
 
2. Daya (Sahabandu) used to ball SIX different ways in an over.
He was the worst fielder we ever had.
He has (probably) never scored a caught and balled victory in an international.
Somebody had to be in the Circle or Ring to catch for him.
It was very nice cricket anyway, without a hype.
 
3. We had a guy called Ben Navaratne who whipped the bail by his tongue and the umpire could not catch the trick.
If he became a politician with his wagging tongue (not the tails of present parliamentarians), god only knows he would have gone to Sky High!

4. Micheal Tissera was the best we had, he could have achieved more, if not for the fact, his buddy (best man) eloped to Australia with his wife.
