Memories Of Greatest Cricketers - - #8 Shane Warne

[Murali Srinivas]

Dear Sri,

Good that you have thought about this. By this, many deserving cricketers (read yesteryear) can be brought to limelight.

As for the Opening Hero of this thread is concerned, what should I tell? He is one person who made adrenaline flow in the veins of even spectators. Most of the people talk about only the 175* and World Cup triumph. There is more to Kapil.

The things that immediately come to my mind are his exploits in Pakistan in the debut series (1978) and in England (1979). His bowling in the 1981 Melbourne test to skittle out the Aussies for 81, inspite of having high fever, his 9 - 83 in Ahemedabad in 1983 against the Windies, his whirlwind knock in the Tied Test in 1986, his four sixes in 4 consecutive balls to avoid the follow on against England, and many more exploits of his.

Thanks and hope to see more of this kind.

Regards
