1987 Reliance world cup
Group Stage
West Indies vs Pakistan
Viv Richards vs Imran Khan
Courtney Walsh vs Abdul Qadir
What is even today known as the greatest act of Sportsmanship in Cricket.
Many may remember, many may have forgotten.
but this is not that story.
this is a story of Split second desicion - and how the Impact a Life
it's about the journey that brought us t that moment
from 1975 world cup - the Murray flurry against a surging Pakistani team to clench a victory
to the drubbing by Alan Donald in the first match of the 1987 world cup against England
and the amount of mental pressure - that one over could bring a young man's future.
The psychology of that moment - and then in the next match - going from hero that brought your country back into the game
to a villian - who cost them everything
A srory of heartbreak, loss and dejection
A story of going to highest of highs and lowest of low
a story of a dream and a desting shattering
and the reponse of a person to it
It's a story of Mankading
(I oppose the term Mankading - as it is an insult to vino mankad)
and finally
it is the story of one man's regret - or maybe not
