Coffee with Chandra

"Chandra was a mystery both on and off the field. "I needed just two fielders," he says, "a slip and a short leg. If I was bowling well, I didn't need anybody else. If I was bowling badly, 22 fielders would not be enough."

Kumble adapted some of it, but Kumble started off as a medium pacer in the lower levels..

Chandra's genius doesn't need the affirmation of a West Indian batsman..

I never knew this:

You know," he says, "I held the ball like a medium-pacer, on the smooth side along the seam, not across it like spinners. It felt natural, and may have accounted for the bounce off the wicket."


That's really something.
