The Short Ones

Young Sachin against South Africa

You watch this video and think that it has got all the classics in place. A pull to begin with, Couple of straight drives, and another two dances down the track , that is when Sach pulls out the cut. That movement in the pitch. Slightly back and across, getting in top of the ball. This is the maestro at its best.

When Zulu came out to open

Back in the 90s, one fine day South Africa decided to open with Herschelle Gibbs and Lance ‘Zulu’ Klusener. Lance was perhaps the most enigmatic cricketer from the 90s. Sheer class.
