Well it was a bit of an exaggeration, but let's just say I'm not the most agile around the field.SJS said:Shame on you laddie
(and I can't catch, which doesn't help my slip-fielding prospects - I've fielded at 1st slip for a total of about 2 overs in the last 7 years, been offered one catch and dropped it. Although in fairness it was one-handed low to my right - but Athers would have called it "definitely catchable". Oops.

Modesty apart I was a brilliant outfield. I won a special award in a tournament in Delhi in 1966 I think for fielding. I dont think I remember an earlier award for fielding in Northern India. Incidentally, in the finals of that tournament we defeated the Indian Railways for whom Kaif's father (Mohammad Tarif) was playing.Barney Rubble said:Well it was a bit of an exaggeration, but let's just say I'm not the most agile around the field.

I was 16 and played with the tail enders as the top collapsed to get our side past the post for a couple of wickets I think. It was an unexpected result since the Railways were a first class side (meaning they are a Ranji trophy team). It also earned me my first major headlines in a major English daily. It was very complimentary of a young Swranjeet who farmed his older team menbers etc etc. I was flying in the skies and dreamt of great things to come.
It seems like yesterday.....

Awesome story. You must have been a bit of a gun in your day. It kind of motivates me to try and make the most of my cricketing career. I can see it slipping away and I haven't done anything up til this point to stop that and I know I would probably look back and regret not trying harder in 10-15 years.

Nah, Somerset Under 17's and played with a few of the current Somerset side and SA "A" team.. At the time i was bowling really well and was a bit miffed with their choice of spinner.. £13,000 a year and I still didn't go to the right school!!Nnanden said:Ask him that.
I think he`s trained with the Somerset 2nd`s. That`s good enough for me
Was a dead cert for college 1st XI which I made but had a hideous and unenjoyable season bowling legspin, nearly gave up cricket for good, have been bowling reliable but not brilliant fast medium since..
Got a big tester coming up in South Africa to see if I can get my cricket back on track as a quickie.. I think I can play to a good standard as a batsman, but nobody has really given me a run as one.. We will see.. As Gary Kirsten says its time to "Step up to the plate"
