No individual in this team of ‘FAB FIVE’ can be pinpointed for special credit. Everyone contributed handsomely. As the eldest in the team, I am exercising my discretion to say a few words more than the others. My young pupil-friends – Foursome out of “FAB FIVE” Sounak Das and Arijit Mukherjee – both 30 years junior to me took the initiative to publish this manuscript that was gathering dust for quite a while. They volunteered, planned and acted so speedily that I was unable to offer them even a ‘thank you’. Arijit’s wife and former journalist Soma Banerjee started the ball rolling. The brilliant lady’s conception and invaluable guidance led us all the way towards the book’s publication. In just one week, Arijit edited the manuscript, selected the pictures, designed the cover and the layout as well as everything else to do with the publication. Absolutely outstanding. Sounak was perpetually at hand with the arduous tasks of editing, correcting, co- ordinating and providing encouragement. Truly brilliant. My wife Seema assisted profusely with the editing and endless cups of tea. Once asked, “West Indies is not one nation, but they play as one team. Why?” Thankfully was able to convince her that cricket takes pride in its anomalies! 5 | Page CCCrrriiiccckkkeeettt IIInnndddiiiaaa::: TTTaaallleeesss UUUnnntttooolllddd EEEEEEEEEmmmmmmmmmiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnneeeeeeeeennnnnnnnnttttttttt lllllllllaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrr BBBBBBBBBiiiiiiiiissssssssshhhhhhhhhwwwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaajjjjjjjjjiiiiiiiiittttttttt BBBBBBBBBhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaattttttttttttttttttaaaaaaaaaccccccccchhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyaaaaaaaaa lllllllllooooooooovvvvvvvvveeeeeeeeesssssssss cccccccccrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiccccccccckkkkkkkkkeeeeeeeeettttttttt,,,,,,,,, lllllllllooooooooovvvvvvvvveeeeeeeeesssssssss mmmmmmmmmeeeeeeeee aaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnddddddddd iiiiiiiiisssssssss aaaaaaaaannnnnnnnn oooooouuuuuuttttttssssssttttttaaaaaannnnnnddddddiiiiiinnnnnngggggg wwwwwwrrrrrriiiiiitttttteeeeeerrrrrr hhhhhhiiiiiimmmmmmsssssseeeeeellllllffffff......
