If so, then Bill Lawry shud start explaining how a tournament in Kerala - the Pooja Cricket Tournament - just celebrated its 60th year.
ICC has already accepted that Pooja Cricket Tournament, which was started by Shri. Kerala Varma (Kelappan) Thampuran and was organized by the then Princes Club is the world's first limited overs tournament.
Shri. Kelappan Thampuran came up with the idea of a 50-over-limited cricket tournament, without no restrictions for bowlers, which was implemented in the inaugural edition of the Pooja cricket tournament in 1951.
It was named Pooja tournament as it was during the Navaratri festival time.
I am not surprised as even most Indians credit one-day matches to foreigners and do not want to accept that it started in our country.
Any skeptics can google Pooja Cricket Tournament and chk it out.
really its become a rut? always praising him.. hope the white people... especially australians have no work other than praising sir don.. after jesus christ they talk more about sir don... becoz after him they cant produce such person in cricket
