was there myself during those years; did'nt know you could buy honors even at Oxford;this seems to be a recent profile distortion; however, arabic or french, he was a reasonable man.
He was like any of his contempory batsman.Not better than his team mates.Looked like an europen and from Princely family.In the poverty stricken Nehru era those things were essteemed. He was a dull boring dour batsman.All aahh ohhooos are the imagination of todays pedlers of commercial news manufacturers.Oxford knows how to conduct business.You seee Wax models of SRK,Amitab or Aishwary at Madam Tussads at New York,Los Angels,.It is business.They are not well known as,The queen, Sean Connery or Madonna or Bin Laden
A true legend in his own right stylish player but his age people older then him who are gone now. Very few remined to cherish him. May alalh give his soul peace and a palce in Janna. I am proud that atleast they remembered the legend.
Who cares for Boring and Poverty-producing and useless TEST CRICKET and Long duration ranji&duleep trophy cricket,etc??? THIS GAME OF CRICKET WAS INTRODUCED BY CROOKED AND WICKED BRITISHERS LIKE MAKING AND MARKETING OF MAHATMA AND non-violence dirty trick to make all majority hindus mmorrns and ennuchs and cowards forever and the past 64 years shows that the crooked britishers were successful to make us a BANANA REPUBLIC of majority morrons with their dirty games, we must BAN Test Cricket forever and WE must shout that we will not allow Boring and Poverty-producing and useless TEST CRICKET to make us poorer any more. One day cricket or t20 or t30 cricket ONLY must be allowed and THEY MUST BE ALLOWED TO BE PLAYED ONLY ON WEEK-ENDS OR HOLIDAYS so that we do not lose millions of working hours of men and women and youth any more and we do not remain poor forever due to useless and time-wasting and Boring TEST Cricket too. All patrrioti c citizens and sponsors MUST BOYCOT TEST Cricket and ranji and dulepp trophy cricket FORVER if they love the nation and want the nation to be supoer power in next 20 or 25 years too!
Great player of India.Todays's cricketers field sharply but way back Pat fielded in that style.One of the two great fielders of India.Another -late Eknath Solkar.
