The tragedy of this cricketer
was that he never really
enjoyed the confidence of
the selectors, nor was he
given a fixed place in the
batting order. In his 22
Tests, spread over almost a
decade, he went in
anywhere between No. 1
and No 8. And quite often,
he often played in only one
Test of a series. However he
is the son of another very
successful cricketer. Who?
