(Azhar na i would attempt to play the wristy flick even if the ball was a long hop wide outside off stump)

One of my friends use to imitate Maninder Singh's action (imitation naale konjam exaggeration dhaane). Before delivery, Maninder used to keep both his palms above the head. My friend wouldn't stop with that and he would circle the imaginary umpire like that around the stumps in the same posture and then bowl the ball.

Shaving Cream adkku thaane varuvaaru?

But I liked his action.

He came only for shaving cream and not for soap. IMO, if cricket is so popular in India it is only because of him. Others might have contributed but Kapil's contribution is too huge and to beat the real champs like West Indies you need singlemindedness and courage. Whenever India in dire straits, he only brought India out of trouble most of times than any other cricketer in their career. Look at his great knocks. Every one came at the crucial time and most of them were match winning ones. He is the true crisis man.

I don't think so. If not for the dead pitches that we have/had, he could have had a much better record (contribution). He looks a natural cricketer (atleast to me). Whatever he does, it seems to come easily to him.

But, I agree that he wasted his batting abilities, with thoughtless application.

His last couple of years was pathetic (sticking on to get past Richard Hadlee).
