Re: From Memories: Srikanth’s stitches
fkhan2:
I still remember the blow, he was shaken after that and I believe that Srikkant was never the same player after that hit, specially against us.
A funny incident related to him happened after couple of years ago when India visited Pakistan in 1989. During a low scoring ODI and a very limited overs ODI, India were chasing a target of less than 100. I don’t clearly remember, but I guess there was a LBW or a cuaght behind appeal against him and the umpire gave him out. I still remember how he acted after that decision. He was like a school kid, doing " cry baby oocchul kood" after that and started complaing that he was not out. In the middle Pakistan players were having fun. I guess they were enjoying him just like we all enjoy ganguly now:cb:
While walking back to the pavillion, srikkant was called by the great Khan who said to him that he can come back and bat again, which was a surprise to every one, considering that this generous action could back fire. Guess what happened on the very first ball he faced??? He got out again:omg:
Only Imran khan, but he is the man because je knew his little son Wasim loves a challenge and he backed him 2 deliver! wow how come i never read about this or no1 on cricinfo doing a piece on this!
