An incredibly moving tale of Ravi Varma, over at Straight Points.
How Ravi moved to the Emirates and saw his cricket dreams come true.
Got me thinking about how so many talented young cricketers should have got off their bony butts and moved their asses elsewhere.
What’s more important, chasing a useless dream but never playing for your country, or playing cricket at the highest level for any nation that will have you?
KP, can you hear me?
Look at what could have been:
Stuart McGill playing hard-to-get for the Poms
Rohan Gavaskar driving down to Dacca
Andrew Symonds & Andre Nel causing more upheaval in Afghanistan
Misbah-ul-Haq for anyone who will have him
Mohammed Yousuf for anyone who will not have him
Laxman Sivaramakrishnan for a dry state
Ashley Giles playing for a Negative State of mind
Vivek Razdan for the Russian basketball team
Thin lips, Hemang Badani playing as the third Flower
Brett Lee for the Hollywood Superstars, U.S.A
Glenn McGrath instead of the bowling machine
strauss playing (...and captaining) for no-mans-land...
