Vide 1960: Yes -- in terms of disambiguation. ++ Moving on: Silly Point! Thats was Solkar’s posting. I gather you are alluding that you have been/ are a change maker. Average 1 catch per inning! The key is about keeping still, but moving on further: we Goans blab too much.
Tony Greg on Solkar http://www.espncricinfo.com/magazine/content/story/552553.html "The key to it was keeping still. I watched [Eknath] Solkar, who I think was probably the best short leg fielder I've ever seen. I saw him take a catch in Kolkata off a sweep shot Tony Lewis played, and I'll never forget it. The guy literally made himself a small target but never moved, and watched the pads through his fingers. Then he dived forward and caught what was basically a little bottom edge onto the pad. So keeping still was very important." ++ Atya Patya was played in at BPT Quaters, Antop Hill (Goan pronounciation: Antopill, antopilla. The pace was vey fast. Yes, dui bok (two holes), or for the blushers: two paths. Fronts, fonts (kicks) and effronts. Fonts, aka lat marne (Marathi, to kick)/ lat khane (to receive [in a way to eat] kicks, . The sheer effrontery of amughele pondit, and assorted bhoje [fritters]. Better still 2d people, aka papellao [cardboard]). ++++++++++++ venantius j pinto Message: 8 Date: Mon, 8 Oct 2012 12:02:45 -0400 From: "J.

It was 1961 as we hopefully all know by now". COMMENT: Technically speaking, 1960 would nearly have been more appropriate. But that would put a spanner in the "Karwar Fishermen" (as the cause) cover story. There is a game called "Atya Patya" which involves two members of Team A distracting the line-guard of Team B, one gets through by 'opening two fronts'. Could it be that 1961 left 1962 wide open? jc NOT to be confused with JC ps: jc is known to have taken some really sharp catches (cricket) while fielding at SILLY POINT. Still fielding at that position on Goanet and still taking sharp catches ....and occasionally making a silly point myself (;-)
