Farokh Engineer is a megalomaniac
by N.Parthasarathy on Jun 03, 2005 10:04 PM   Permalink

Farokh Engineer was certainly a very attacking batsman who got 96 before lunch on the first day of a test match in Madras in the mid - 1960s. Thus far and no further. To even try and remotely equate himself to Gilchrist either in terms of aggression or, more importantly, in consistency, is mere megalomania or not knowing enough of Gilchrist. The latter is a terror among bowlers both in tests and one dayers which the bubbly Engineer was not. Come on Farokh, be a sport and know your limitations.
