A funny incident

This was arguably the most infamous incident in the history of Indian domestic cricket. Lamba and Rashid had been needling each other throughout a fractious final, but it was on the final afternoon that tempers finally snapped. North Zone were already assured of the title having amassed a huge 729 for 9 in their first innings, with Lamba's 180 an integral performance. Rashid decided to take some measure of revenge. "It was senseless, yet far from unprovoked," wrote Wisden, as Rashid aimed a beamer at Lamba's head, then followed up by uprooting a stump and chasing the stunned batsman all the way to the boundary. A crowd riot ensued, unsurprisingly, and both men were banned for their actions, Rashid for 13 months and Lamba for 10.

i read about this somewhere but cant rememebr where

It appeared in cricinfo some time ago.
I should have written this I guess.

Raman was a passionate man who courted great controversy wherever he went.
He went to court I think here to appeal for the right to play for Ireland and sadly lost.
We here in Northern Ireland will never forget Raman - it is only of late has his wife Kim been able to talk about him publicly again.

Yes he was a passionate man and tragically died on the field, hit by a ball on the temple while fielding.
But Amit, he played for Ireland (in the county circuit) for some time I understand. Why did he need to appeal to continue doing so?

As far as I know he wanted to play for us when we competed against other countries. Raman was much loved here and felt in his heart he belonged to Ireland.

The sad thing about Raman was he looked after himself so well, was a fitness fanatic and a very nice guy to boot. Yet the way he died was so tragic. Even today we still talk about and remember Raman fondly - he played at my old club for 8 seasons in a row - a record equalled only by Taimur Khan this season. His batting really was something to behold.
