Happy birthday Babu... keep batting on Sir

A great batting coach he was too. Long before cricket coaching was the thing on everybody's team agenda.

Love RBK big time

Rohan was a class act with that swashbuckling hook ending with him sitting on the pitch sweeeeet fuh days! His going down on the right knee to sweep was beauty. I had the opportunity to do that to a leg spinner in order to attain 1st Innings lead at Kensington in 1973.

Happy Birthday Babu. Seasons greetings to all

A great man and a great cricketer. He was gifted enough to rank with the best. He had enough skills to entertain the fans, provide leadership on and off the field and coach his teammates. If there was any doubt he confirmed the coaching skills after his playing days.
BTW The number of men named Rohan, aged around 40, in Barbados is amazing.

A very happy and blessed birthday to Babu.

The popping crease, which is the back edge of the crease marking, shall be in front of and parallel to the bowling crease and shall be 4 ft/1.22 m from it.
Notice the width of the safe area between bowing and popping creases.

Standing above every other West Indian batsman from his or any other era, Rohan Kanhai rubbished conventional theory, defied the coaching manual, heeded the credo of team first to the detriment of personal statistics; met the opposition head on, and always entertained.
A tribute to Rohan Kanhai

Clyde Worrell Weekes feels obliged to publicly add his name to those wishing the great man a happy birthday. I remember as a youth when they said that Kanhai actually had laid down on the pitch and dispatched the ball for six you know I had to try and duplicate that shot. So in a backyard game I actually laid on the ground, my friend bowled and I actually made contact with the ball. I remember this was during the 1962 home series against India. Of course Kanhai had not laid down on the pitch, he must have made one of his patented fall on his ass hook shots, but such was the legend of the man that it was easy for that to be said on the streets and for me to believe it. I always felt that if Kanhai played for stats he would easily have more centuries etc., but in the early part of his career (prior to 1971)I believe he liked to entertain. I saw a more serious disposition to his game beginning with the 1971 India series.

He understood that his role, often at number three, was to demoralize the opposition.
Ian Chappell says Rohan was the "ideal number no. 3"

I agree. The #3 can be the most important and most challenging position in a lineup. After the toss, the openers know its their turn, but the # 3 pads up and waits. He may be called upon in the first over to face the new ball or an hour later. He has to adjust depending on the situation. A quick wicket requires one approach; a solid start, another. Kanhai's was unorthodox.
When we assess the # 3 in the pantheon of great batsmen, the challenges of that position must also be considered.
Well, at least, that's my take.
