LS has been a predicament of sorts: it was miserable to talk of it on air recently. When he was sharing some tips with opponent bowlers and he said in my time I didn't have anyone to take me thru in my playing days..I had to learn everything on my own...and made mistakes on the way... so sad. Such talent gone waste. This article bought it out quite well. I didn't recall his county stint so that was added news for me. Nice to see you continue to write. Will call you one of these days.<br /><br />RaghuRaghunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7602595265633639540.post-13886986916115401562016-09-15T21:26:53.695+05:302016-09-15T21:26:53.695+05:30Very well written Mr. Prabhu.

Having played against him in the City Vs Districts match in October 1981, I always used to follow his career very closely. One of the finest cricketer with a large heart to flight the ball. <br />How can anyone forget his Ranji debut against Delhi with such a strong batting line up which had Amarnath brothers, Kirti Azad, Raman Lamba and Bhaskar Pillai. Glad that he is doing exceptionally well as a commentator.<br /><br />Lakshmi Narasimhan Vnataliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14320557911757640576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7602595265633639540.post-56286138958470712212016-05-14T21:13:02.666+05:302016-05-14T21:13:02.666+05:30Thanks Prabhu ...Oh yeah you are one of the few wh...Thanks Prabhu ...Oh yeah you are one of the few who could have made it big for a leggie..u were stuck at the wrong school unfortunately...for me you compliment exposes the shallowness in TN cricket<br /><br />Rgds<br />VijayVijayhttp://yahoo.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7602595265633639540.post-54459332461423164602016-04-29T10:04:31.534+05:302016-04-29T10:04:31.534+05:30A very nice story.

LS enjoyed, we all enjoyed. Life doesn't end there. As long as we put our efforts to the full, there is nothing to worry. We don't decide the results anyway. We are happy to see & hear him as commentator. He has the capacity to produce new talents like him for India, and we wish him grand success at that. He should also be bowling coach for India, especially to train the captains on how to use the spinners better - a much needed skill for the captains today. Good luck & Cheers!

I have seen all the WCC matches and to this day remember LS great bowling.It is touching to read the support he received from Venkatraghavan, Gavaskar, Sastri and others. I think Gavaskar played a major role in WCC for his success. I have never seen a leggie as confident as him during his pinnacle days. Later, as a commentator he has been very good. Life is a mystery. Great success, deep lows. One has to just manage. Wish him well in his life. Can never forget LS bowling.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11182504410747836432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7602595265633639540.post-88448485554895081232016-04-28T04:45:29.427+05:302016-04-28T04:45:29.427+05:30Prabhu

We were all disappointed with the way he let us down. I am sure his decisions were attributed to lack of support at the crucial time of his career. This happens world over when kids with exceptional talent loose sight of life when they get too much money. <br /><br />I am sure we would have ended up this way as well if we were in his situation. Glad to note that he his well settled now and still active in cricketing events. Marina Hingis is one player that comes to my mind who lost her way but she has come back strongly too.<br /><br />Good Luck to him and hope we get to see another leggie soon in our lifetime from chennai.<br /><br />Thanks<br />VijayDoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09164861854814983336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7602595265633639540.post-86076837822844595612016-04-28T00:22:02.303+05:302016-04-28T00:22:02.303+05:30excellent work prabhuexcellent work prabhuAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7602595265633639540.post-82785957003083509952016-04-28T00:20:20.326+05:302016-04-28T00:20:20.326+05:30Good one mate I didn't know about the relation...Good one mate I didn't know about the relationship with vb.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7602595265633639540.post-53250060911097458322016-04-27T18:27:26.206+05:302016-04-27T18:27:26.206+05:30Brilliant structure to the content always makes a ...Brilliant structure to the content always makes a compelling read.
