"If
an Indian were to take a single off the first ball of an over when a tail-ender
was at the other end, or give a single to the tail-ender off the last ball
of the over, he would have been pilloried by every Amar, Akbar and Anthony
for not thinking of the side." - On Steve Waugh in the Times of India |
