cricket of yesteryear

[S.Balaji]

Walrus,

I fondly remember Padmakar Shivalkar - Mumbai. Great spinner who was no inferior to the magnificient quartet ( i will add Venkat also !!! ). Unfortunately he could not make it to tests for obvious reasons. He was doing extremely well in domestic circuit . Sad he faded away from the scene.

Dilip Doshi - had to wait for Bedi to retire and performed reasonably well though he was not a crafty bowler. Not attacking. A very defensive type .

I wonder how guys like - Shivlal Yadav could get opportunities.

Probably, its poorva jenma puniyam !!!. SY also took 100 wickets.


I also wish to analyse and discuss on certain low profile guys but who contributed IMMENSELY TO OUR GLORIOUS VICTORIES AND ACHIEVEMENTS. I wish to highlight a few :

1. Yashpal Sharma
2. Kirti Azad
3. Madan Lal
4. Roger Binny
5. Sadanand VIsvanath ( remember audi car of Ravi and India's victory in Australia )
6. Balwinder Sandhu
7. Abid Ali
8. Eknath SOlkar
9. Farokh Engineer - Stylish , class
10. Kirmani
11. Karsan Ghavri
12. Sandeep patil - sad sad , he quickly faded

etc etc. You have anything to add to this list ??
