Sports, Society, Racism & Triumph

It's a sports story you haven't heard, about how sport can transform society and overcome racism. Join Kojo for an exploration of one of his passions: West Indian cricket
From the late 1970s to the early 1990s, the West Indies dominated the world of cricket. No team was more feared, or fearsome, than the 11 cricketers plucked from disparate Caribbean nations. Their talent united the islands, transformed the style of cricket and became a metaphor for nations struggling under racism and oppression. Kojo explores their story, captured in the new documentary "Fire in Babylon."

Name: Suresh Neelapala, a.k.a "Anna"
Role: President, Right slow medium, Top order Bat,
Pedigree: Andhra Univ Eng College team
Fav Stroke: Over the covers
Weapon: Normal delivery that surprises you with bounce.
The Serious part:
A Dashing opener, and an instinctive hitter of the ball. On his day, he is a very good entertainer and fun to watch. A very useful bowler in the middle of the innings and can be very handy in getting crucial wickets. Bowls wicket-to-wicket and very deceptive with his pace. Now to the most important part of his game, his fielding. He is very agile and judges the ball coming towards him very quickly. An excellent fielder and fittingly won the award for the "Best Fielder award for the past two years.
The LOL:
He plays a 40-over game like a 20-20. I wonder what approach he would take when he bats in a 20-20 match. He might be one of the senior (older:)) players in the team, but with his fielding abilities, he can be as agile and fit as the youngest member of the team. He is also the teams official photographer!!!!
