Then comes Chris Harris, Michael Bevan, Mark Ramprakash, and Ashok Mankad.David Barryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08378763233797445502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22713811.post-9114696841740110942007-12-27T02:56:00.000+01:002007-12-27T02:56:00.000+01:00David,You have done Indian domestic cricket a grea...David,<BR/><BR/>You have done Indian domestic cricket a great diservice.<BR/><BR/>Off hand I can think of Ashok Mankad, who would beat all the players you profiled here hollow.:)Viswanathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03511419586643916500noreply@blogger.com
