RE:Vengsarkar lacks clarity
by sunil babu on Feb 27, 2007 01:19 AM

Vengsarkar, an average player?!!I wonder how long Mr. Satish has been following cricket. For me, it's over 30 years since I've followed the game. It doesn't describe a man who had to curb his attacking instincts for the sake of the team and who was ranked among the best in the world, at a time when the Indian team still had Gavaskar and Vishwanath. Somebody who hit the likes of Bedi and Prasanna in their prime out of the ground to evoke memories of Col. CK Nyadu (now,don't ask who he is!-that would totally expose you)and earn the nickname The Colonel. One of the most stylish batsmen of his generation who could hit with power as well as play the delicate strokes. 116 tests with nearly 7000 runs with an average of 42...17 hundreds...one of the finest catchers in the slips...if he's average, then there would be many Indians who would want to be as "average" as him!!
