4. So far India has tied 4 ODI including the
recent one against England. The first tied
match was against West Indies in Perth, 1991.
WI were chasing 126 and required 6 runs of
the last over. Who saved the match for India
with a great piece of outswing bowling by
bowling the last over of the match?

52. The following day X batted in the match against Zimbabwe 'A' team
in the game in Mutare. I am not sure of the exact timing of events
because I was in the nets with other players when X went in to bat,
but the new ball had either just been taken or was imminent when I
saw X walking from the field holding his right arm.
When I enquired as to what had happened X said he had felt a click
in his elbow as he played a ball through the leg side and that he
thought he should have it investigated. X had complained of pain to
his elbow at various stages of the one-day series, but he had
resisted having any comprehensive investigation done and, from my
observation, had been spasmodic in his treatment habits, often not
using ice-packs for the arm that had been prepared for him.
53. X rejected these suggestions and said he would be 'fine'. When I
queried what he meant by 'fine' he said he would be fit for the Test
match. I then queried why then was it necessary to be off the field
now. He said that he was just taking 'precautions'. After the loss of 3
wickets to the new ball, X returned to the crease with the ball now
around 20 overs old. He struggled for runs against a modest attack
and eventually threw his wicket away trying to hit one of the
spinners over the leg side.
The next day I enquired with a number of the players as to what
they had thought of X’s retirement. The universal response was that
it was 'just X' as they recounted a list of times when X had suffered
from mystery injuries that usually disappeared as quickly as they
had come……

Sachin Tendulkar in Pakistan. That effectively was
also his last in Test cricket despite being in
various Indian Test squads on domestic and
overseas tours. He was selected on numerous
tours in the squad of 14 but was often dropped
from subsequent tours without even getting an
opportunity to represent India. Being dropped
from the Indian team without getting a game was
known in cricket circles as being “X-ed".He was
part of the Indian World Cup squad in 1996.
115. In the match against Sri Lanka, where Sanath
Jayasuriya and Romesh Kaluwitharana
demolished the Indian bowling, he was the
only bowler on show to have an economy rate
of less than 6 runs per over. He was
subsequently dropped again when Sachin
became the captain.

140. The flag is a tribute to Ashley Giles. A set of
mugs ordered in 2000 for Ashley Giles’s
testimonial year had been erroneously printed
with “King of Spain”, instead of "King of Spin".
There were originally only two of these mugs
produced, one of which Giles used for his
coffee in the dressing room (this mug was
subsequently stolen), and another on display
in the club shop. The news spread and Giles
thus got his nickname “King of Spain”.
