The bad ass

Used to eat batsmen alive. Would do the same to the current crop of trundlers the Windies possess.

Cricket used to be fun

Blaster from the past

It's a funny old game

Life of Brian

'Neil Harvey, standing at leg slip, with his legs wide apart, waiting for a tickle.' Thus spake Brian Johnston.

Greg Chappell v/s India Ink

It's a good idea to give Greg Chappell a chance to mould the future of Indian cricket. Schoolmasters, disciplinarians and hard-driving coaches are good at that sort of thing.

Seasoned campaigners find it hard to unlearn old habits. The time to make sure people turn out right is when they are learning the tricks of the trade.

The people who are miffed with Chappell and want him to have nothing to do whatsoever with Indian cricket are the ones who weren't on his SMS list and never managed to get a soundbyte out of him to sell their badly written columns.

It's a well-known fact that Greg Chappell didn't suffer fools gladly. Fools, that's why he wasn't successful with the Big Boys of Indian cricket. Good call, Pawar.
