Ashok Mankad had cricket in his veins

It was all over for "Kaka" on the 1st of August. There was no referral – he was out, literally – asleep, when the finger went up. Read The Article

varadarajan	Dr I am eagerly waiting for your write up about Vishy knock of 124 against Westindies at Chepauk during 1978 series. ( Posted: Saturday , September 20, 2008 at 13:30 )
LVISS	And u know what hapnd after he ran up those three good scores. His technique got analysed and he was never the same batsman. ( Posted: Wednesday, August 20, 2008 at 09:59 )
Ravi Padmanabhan	Though he hasn''t succeeded in test cricket, Ashok Mankad is one of the best cricketing brain in India. Had he given the opportunity, he would have made it to India''s best coach. BCCI failed miserably to recognize his talents. First I had watched him playing for Maftlal, in the Buchi Baby invitation tournament. In a trying situation,( 48/6), he alone with tail ender taken the score to 250 plus. The next day, in HINDU his innings was described, as MANKAD BATTED WITH BROAD SHOULDER AND BRODER PADS.That was the innings was temperament, patience and cunningness. His demise will be a great lost to Mumbai, not for India because, BCCI never used him. Let us salute one of the good cricketing brain. ( Posted: Monday , August 18, 2008 at 13:43 )
