Responding to co-adjutor Sanjay Manjrekar's leading query into around Kenya's 30th over that the bowler Mahmud was Bhogle's favourite player, the latter consented, adding that Mahmud was like a bulldog, always up to something.

Sometime later, Bhogle said he was surprised because his colleagues in the box and the production team had expressed their ``amazement'' when he called Mahmud a bulldog because, according to him, this was a compliment to Mahmud's positive approach to the game. Quipped Manjrekar from the side, ``That's because people usually associate that with someone's looks''. Bhogle was quiet.

Think before you bark the next time, Bhogle.
