	Gundappa Viswanath appointed NCA batting coach : India Sports
		Viswanath, a very popular cricketer known for his quiet gentlemanly behaviour laced with a great sense of humour, was appointed batting coach at an NCA meeting held at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium Thursday evening.
		Viswanath amassed 6,080 runs at 41.93 in 91 Tests and 439 in 25 One-Day Internationals and captained India in two Test matches in 1979-80.
		Viswanath retired from his bank job in April late year, and his only cricketing engagement is his association with the KSCA Academy.

	IBNLive : 'Kumble will motivate his team well'
		Viswanath, a wristy batsman who scored 6,080 runs in 91 Tests with 14 centuries, spoke to Cricketnext.com about the Test series starting on December 26.
		Stressing that the 16-member Indian team picked for the Test series was a balanced one, the former middle-order batsman felt this could be the best chance for India to beat the mighty Aussies in an away series as the batsmen were in fine nick and Kumble was bowling with a lot of venom.
		Viswanath: Well, I don’t like to comment on individual selections as it is the selectors’ prerogative to pick the team and they might have had a specific role for Sehwag to play if the Indians consider going in with just one specialist spinner on fast tracks at Adelaide and Perth.

	Gundappa Viswanath Profile - Indian Cricket Player Gundappa Viswanath Biography - Information on Gundapa Viswanath ...
		Gundappa Viswanath, perhaps the best batsmen India have ever produced, was renowned for his never-say-die spirit and sublime cricketing skills.
		Each of Gundappa Viswanath's 14 Test centuries resulted in either an Indian victory or a draw and with Sunil Gavaskar he was the bedrock of India's batting in the 1970s.
		Viswanath possessed a dazzling array of shots in his repertoire and his batting was a specter of wristy elegance and nimble footwork.

	Cricinfo - Players and Officials - Gundappa Viswanath
		Gundappa Viswanath was a true artist with the willow - his strokeplay, particularly the late-cut executed with lumberjack-strong wrists, was nothing less than divine.
		He was equally adept against pace and spin - waiting on the ball against the fastmen and using twinkling footwork against the spinners - and he came good when it truly mattered.
		Viswanath often excelled on pitches others found difficult - witness his matchwinning 124 out of 255 on another fiery, bouncy Madras wicket against West Indies in 1978-79, and innings of 83 and 79 against New Zealand on a Christchurch greentop in 1975-76.

	The Hindu : Sport : Viswanath for use of modern technology
		Viswanath, who spent time with the boys of the National Cricket Academy's South Zone camp at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium on Tuesday, favours the use of modern technology in umpiring.
		When he led India in the Golden Jubilee Test of 1980, Viswanath was quick to recall England's Bob Taylor when he was convinced that the wicket-batsman had not edged the ball and that the umpire had made an error in judgment.
		Viswanath said Sourav Ganguly's task of rediscovering form might be difficult without match practice in the off-season.

		Viswanath says his only worry as he went out to replace the opener was over whether he would be able to make runs, rather than his own safety.
		Viswanath was to face the West Indies on one more series, scoring two centuries as India clinched a six-Test home series 1-0 in 1978/79.

		In a sense, Viswanath was to seek revenge and gain it, nearly a quarter of a century later with a century which put India on the road to scoring an historic victory over the West Indies.
		Viswanath first came into the picture, in the season of 1968-69, when he made 40 odd runs in a Ranji match at Hyderabad.
		Viswanath was also a firm and dependable fielder in the slips like his brother-in-law Sunil Gavaskar.

		When others were running for cover, unable to cope with Roberts' pace, bounce, and movement on a lively pitch, Viswanath, attacked the bowlers, Roberts included, and took India to 190, with only the tailenders for support.
		Viswanath batted as if there was nothing in the wicket, pulling off strokes of great quality.
		I had the good fortune of playing with Viswanath for India, and it was actually a schoolboy's dream come true for me. He had a great sense of humour in the dressing room, and always had a word of encouragement for me. What a cricketer and what a human being!

		At the same time, there is about him a sharpness and a modernity, a self-confidence and grim resolve, a solidity in his walk that is informed by the kind of steeliness that Sourav Ganguly's men have made their own.
		Like Azharuddin's and Viswanath's, Laxman's wrists seem to be made of something more elastic than bone and tissue.
