I can quite identify with that. I have also snicked out of school to watch local club games. There was another Indian Keeper (immediately prior to Engineer) called Budhi Kundaran. Again, excellent. He settled in England later on, had English wife etc. Sadly, he died a couple of years ago in England of Cancer. I must look him up on Cricinfo to find out whether he played for any English County. Talking of Keepers, Alan Knott, I think was a gem.
I am a fan of Freddie too, pedalo or no pedalo. A truly remarkable bowler when at his physical best.
You mean Clive Lloyd right? The Big Cat as they used to call him. I liked him too although I must admit the accusations of his wife against him have dimmed that admiration some what.
