Great piece. One of my favourites.

This square drive by Kanhai in the 1975 World Cup final is unsurpassed, and remains my absolute favourite shot.

you are beaten

Sunil Gavaskar named his son Rohan to pay tribute to his favorite batsman.

wonderful read fred

It's a crying shame that the ATG West indian middle-order is pretty much locked down - Headley, Lara, Richards, Sobers. Although I don't think that it is too outrageous for Kanhai to compete with the No.3 spot and replace Headley.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

not a huge fan of playing player out of position but kanhai did open when he started out. had a horrid tour in england and then excelled when he moved to no.3. if he is to be included, he can open with greenidge and headley can remain at no.3

He was one of my boyhood heroes. My dream was always to see a long partnership between Kanhai and Sobers. Even today I consider him the most consistently exciting batsman I ever saw, apart from the sole exception of Viv Richards.

Rohan Kanhai does rhyme well with chicken karahi

 

[Lillian Thomson]

He signed a nice lucrative contract with World Series Cricket in his early 40's but never played a match for the West Indies. He did play a few matches for the often forgotten World Series Cavaliers who were thrown together to give players who weren't getting much cricket some matches.

Completely missed this. Very good read fred

Way to young to have watched him but my Granddad and Dad have told me stories about him and his performances for the Bears. Granddad still says he is our best batsmen ever, even better than BC.
