ICC not being fair to Murali: Prasanna Prasanna, who mesmerized batsmen with his teasing off breaks in the sixties and seventies, said the psychological aspect of why a bowler chucks should be studied in detail rather than by the biomechanical factor. Prasanna said it would be more sensible if the experts study the video of the particular delivery over which the umpires had doubts instead of asking the bowler to reproduce the same in the nets. Prasanna also favoured the on-field umpire making decisions instead of experts giving their opinion after studying the videos. www.rediff.com /cricket/2004/apr/30pras.htm

EAS Prasanna - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Erapalli Anantharao Srinivas Prasanna (born: May 22, 1940) is a famous cricket player from India. Born in Bangalore, India, Prasanna played his debut test cricket game in 1961. He was a spin bowler, specializing in off spin. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Erapalli_Prasanna

'Kumble not bowling right line' Prasanna, who is coaching potential off-spinners at a special camp at the MAC Spin Foundation in Chennai, said the strong points of Kumble's bowling were always his line and length. Prasanna, however, said a good spinner is one who does something off the wicket, whether on a green top or a turning track. Erapalli Prasanna is the greatest off spinner our country has produced till date. www.indiaabroad.rediff.com /cricket/2003/jun/13kumble.htm

Hall of Fame - The Spin Quartet Indian Cricket Fever - Unofficial Indian Cricket News and Views Prasanna has now emerged as an erudite and articulate columnist, and has also been recently drafted along with the rest of the Spin Quartet by the BCCI to brain storm on reviving the art of spin in the land where some of its greatest exponents flourished. Prasanna next returned to the West Indies in 1970-71 under Ajit Wadekar, but injured himself in a freak accident, when the non-striker stepped on his palm in his haste to get back to his crease as Prasanna bent to pick up the ball on his follow through. Thus Prasanna now had to struggle for a place in the side, because for some reason the Indian selectors never wanted to consistently play the two together, even though their styles were as different as could be. www.sportnetwork.net /main/s119/st25857.htm

Rediff On The NeT: The Harsha Bhogle column Prasanna's - or rather Outlook's - timing was perfect because a lot of people have been complaining that the Indian team plays too much cricket and that it was therefore leaving them fatigued. In such a situation, Prasanna says, "don't complain of fatigue because if you are tired, opt out of a tour and come back recharged". This is as much Prasanna the cricketer as Prasanna the manager speaking. specials.rediff.com /sports/sep/09b.htm

The Telegraph - Calcutta Calcutta: Erapalli Prasanna, among the all-time great off-spinners, is “surprised” that the legitimacy of Harbhajan Singh’s doosra is being questioned after his action was “rectified” in late 1998. Prasanna, whose tally of 189 Test victims has just been equalled by Harbhajan, felt working with a biomechanist (as prescribed by the International Cricket Council) isn’t quite the solution. Asked whether he was willing to help, Prasanna replied: “Definitely Don’t forget that I worked with Rajesh Chauhan in early 1997 and he appreciated whatever little I did.” www.telegraphindia.com /1041222/asp/sports/story_4159972.asp

The Hindu : Prasanna visits spin academy Erapalli Prasanna sent down a perfectly pitched delivery, adorned with flight and turn, even as a group of aspirants watched with a mixture of awe and admiration. Prasanna finished a brief demonstration of his awesome skills, and then turned to his wards. Former Indian off-spinner Erapalli Prasanna has a few tips for the young trainees at the MAC Spin Foundation at the SPIC-YMCA ground in Chennai on Friday. www.hindu.com /2002/07/06/stories/2002070601322000.htm

&prd=mp& Prasanna, who spoke to Anil Kumble before the tour down under, is extremely pleased that the senior leg-spinner had a wonderful Test series in Australia. Prasanna, who consumed 189 batsmen in 49 Tests, makes it clear that a spinner has to get three key aspects right in his action and release - pivoting on the toe, twist of the waist, and tweak that imparts spin on the ball. Prasanna is convinced that any spinner has to be side-on while delivering the ball. www.hinduonnet.com /thehindu/thscrip/print.pl?file=2004020500120400.htm&date=2004/02/05/&prd=mp&

The Hindu : The shortcomings are clearly there: Prasanna Prasanna is pleased that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is finally recognising the fact that the country's bowling recourses are not adequate in either form of the game. Prasanna considers Murali Kartik as the most promising left-arm spinner in the land, but appears disappointed that the Railway cricketer has not received a long run in international cricket. The legendary off-spinner, Erapalli Prasanna airing his views at the MAC Spin Foundation in Chennai on Tuesday. www.hinduonnet.com /2003/06/11/stories/2003061103962100.htm

The Telegraph - Calcutta Calcutta: Erapalli Prasanna feels the Indians were weighed down by “diplomatic pressures” during the ‘revival’ tour of 1978 which led to their dismal performance but the current lot is “mentally tough enough” to handle such situations. Prasanna feels Anil Kumble’s fitness will be the key to India’s chances. Unlike the forthcoming tour where the players will be briefed by government mandarins before their departure, the briefing for the Bishan Singh Bedi-led side was done by the Board and manager Fateh Singh Rao Gaekwad before they left Mumbai. www.telegraphindia.com /1040228/asp/sports/story_2947347.asp

rediff.com: cricket channel - India is as strong as the Australian team Former Indian Test star Erapalli Prasanna said on Friday that the Indian cricket team was as strong as the Australians and an interesting duel is on the cards when the two clash in three Test matches and five one-dayers on their 54-day tour of India. Prasanna along with Bishen Singh Bedi and Srinivasan Venkataraghavan played for the CCI Eleven while another former great Bhagawat Chandrashekar watched the match from the sidelines because of a foot injury caused by a serious road accident ten years ago. India is as strong as the Australian team: Prasanna inhome.rediff.com /cricket/2001/feb/09pra.htm

CRICKETNEXT.COM FEATURES ::: Flight of fancy Prasanna was drafted into the side against Ted Dexter's English side (1961-62) for the last Test at Madras. I am sure both Bedi and Prasanna known for their skill and deception still have a lot to offer to Indian students of the art of destruction. The point here is that if India has a history of producing crafty slow bowlers, then why can't it focus on its core competence and have spinners rolling out of the assembly line like it used to. www.cricketnext.com /features/bamzai/bamzai003.htm

Thatscricket - News - Prasanna hails attitude of ACB youngsters Prasanna and his spin twin Bishan Singh Bedi were imparting the skills of spin bowling to the ACB boys under an exchange programme, which MRF has with the ACB. Prasanna was also appreciative of the planning to unearth talent by the ACB and Australian Cricket Academy. Chennai: It has been long since he had last worried about the basics for a successful off spinner, but one of world's best offies Erapalli Prasanna was at it again at the MRF Pace Foundation. www.thatscricket.com /news/2001/04/06/060401prasana.html

I am a broken man: Prasanna Prasanna lives in a house allotted by the government, in Bangalore's upmarket Indiranagar area, diagonally across Rahul Dravid's home. Prasanna revealed he had offered his services to his former Karnataka team-mate Brijesh Patel, to the KSCA, but received no response. Still to be allotted a benefit game by the Board of Control for Cricket in India, Prasanna is today a prisoner of his image in society. in.rediff.com /cricket/2003/sep/25eas.htm

CEAT Cricket Ratings - News - Press Releases Erapalli Prasanna, fondly referred to as the ‘cunning old fox’ by his team-mates, was an integral member of the great quartet that spun India to many a test win at home and abroad in the 60s and 70s. Captain Vijay Hazare, Polly Umrigar, Erapalli Prasanna, Bhagwat Chandrasekhar, Srinivas Venkataraghavan, Gundappa Vishwanath, Dilip Vengsarkar and Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi are the cricketers, in the eyes of the panel, who deserve the Ceat Lifetime Achievement Award for their ability to stand tall when it mattered most. One of these stalwarts will receive the Ceat Lifetime Achievement Award during the 8th Annual CEAT International Cricket Rating Awards ceremony to be held on October 31, 2003, at Hotel Taj Mahal, Mumbai. www.ceatcricketrating.org /news/2003/pr37.htm

BBC SPORT INDIA V AUSTRALIA India v Australia 1969/70 Prasanna took five for 121 but slow left-armer Bedi sent down 62.4 overs for superb figures of three for 74. Australia's grip on the game was shaken at the start of their second innings as Amarnath bowled Stackpole and Chappell and Prasanna took three wickets as they stumbled to 24 for six. Chappell made 138 as Australia batted first but four of the top six were dsmissed for single figure scores and they were all out for 296 with Bedi and Prasanna each taking four wickets. news.bbc.co.uk /sport1/hi/in_depth/2001/india_v_australia/1163845.stm

Printer Friendly Version Prasanna, who was present at the Eden Gardens, was quick to compliment the off-spinner on his feat. Prasanna said Harbhajan was very lucky to have Kumble at the other end. Harbhajan Singh kept his date with destiny today, easing past Erapalli Prasanna’s record of 189 wickets to become the highest wicket-taking Indian off-spinner. www.indianexpress.com /print.php?content_id=66762

Utilise our experience, says Prasanna- The Times of India However, Prasanna, whose exploits are part of India’s cricketing folklore, is unhappy that his expertise has not been properly used by the cricket board. Erapalli Prasanna can still delight the connoisseur with his loop and trajectory. Prasanna has been training youngsters at Macspin in Chennai and has also contributed at the NCA. timesofindia.indiatimes.com /cms.dll/html/uncomp/articleshow?msid=202530

'Doosra' defenders will not lie down Prasanna, who played 49 Tests for India and took 189 wicket with his looping off-breaks, also advocated looking at the mind of the bowler in trying to rid the cricket world of throwers. The ICC has come in for some strong criticism from former Test off-spinner Erapalli Prasanna, who says its uproar against Muttiah Muralitharan’s doosra is a case of too little too late. Prasana, however, has come out in support of the Sri Lankan, saying it is unfair to haul up the off-spinner now when he was on the verge of making history. www.tiscali.co.uk /sport/365/cricket/news/2004/05/03/12150.html

Prasanna- sharing knowledge The legendary Erapalli Prasanna had flown from Bangalore to be at his old comrade-in-arms Bishan Singh Bedi's pre-season camp in Delhi for youngsters. Prasanna was a revelation, spending time with young spinners, emphasising the virtues of deception. Over the past few years, I had heard of how Prasanna prevented himself from giving off his best by being in a time warp, of how youngsters would come away from sessions with him haunted by a lack of self-belief. www.usenet.com /newsgroups/rec.sport.cricket/msg05580.html

The Hindu : Indian spinners should learn to bowl on good pitches: Prasanna Prasanna's answer is quick and precise — ``He has to spin more on good wickets. Prasanna, a key element of India's famous `spin quartet,' ended an illustrious Test career with 189 wickets in just 49 Tests that speaks volumes about his wicket-taking ability. Zeroing on young spinners, Prasanna feels left-arm spinner Murali Kartik, the most promising of the lot, should be a regular member of the side. www.thehindu.com /2002/07/07/stories/2002070700712000.htm

The Hindu : Sport / Cricket : `A lot depends on Kumble, Harbhajan' In his heyday, Prasanna, a famous part of India's legendary spin quartet of the 60 and 70s, tormented the batsmen with his dazzling array of tricks. True art never dies, only shines brighter with the passage of years, and Erapalli Prasanna's timeless bowling took the connoisseurs to cricket's very essence where a wonderful blend of astonishing skills and a spirit of adventure lighted up the arenas. Prasanna believes the Australian innings should not be allowed to stretch beyond 100 overs. www.hindu.com /2004/10/06/stories/2004100608651800.htm

Making the ball talk Prasanna's razor sharp cricketing mind was at work."I tested Chappell with well flighted deliveries, he used to smother it and suddenly I realised he was ahead of the forward short leg. Not someone to be defeated by the conditions, Prasanna grabbed an astonishing 49 wickets in eight Tests, on the back-to-back tours of Australia and New Zealand in 1967-68, and when the Indians defeated the Kiwis, it was their first away series Test win. There was never a dull moment when Prasanna held the cherry, drawing the batsmen out with his flight, and deceiving them with his loop and turn, bounce and nip. www.sportstaronnet.com /tss2538/25380590.htm

The Hindu : Prasanna keen to work with Indian spinners Erapalli Prasanna, who is disappointed with the performance of the Indian spinners, is eager to help them out. Prasanna believes that art has to be passed on. Prasanna expected things would move rapidly after the spinners conclave meeting in Kolkata in June. www.hindu.com /2003/10/22/stories/2003102201761900.htm

When Pak buried the Spin Trio Prasanna had figures of 0/94, Bedi 1/109 and Chandra 2/130, tempting one to believe that this spin trio bowled like tigers on pitches tailor-made for spin from day one like at Chepauk and Eden Gardens (Kolkata), but were exposed on good wickets. Pakistan scored a massive 503 for 8 in the first innings, with the spin trio notching 'centuries' -- Prasanna (1/123), Bedi (3/ 124) and Chandra 4/130 (he picked up three wickets when Pakistan went for big hits looking for an early declaration). Fortunately for India, Gavaskar and Chauhan, on a flat wicket, gave India a solid start of 97, and Gavaskar was out only at the score of 248 for 3, making 89, unlucky to york himself while coming down the wicket to drive left-arm spinner Iqbal Qasim. www.chennaionline.com /cricket/IndinPak04/Flash/Flashback01.asp

A tribute to Bishan Singh Bedi Bishan Singh Bedi was one of the great quartet of spinners who graced Indian teams of the 70s (the others being Erapalli Prasanna, Bhagwat Chandrashekhar, and Srinivas Venkatraghavan). Described as "the most subtle and artistic slow left arm orthodox bowler of his generation" by Christopher Martin-Jenkins, Bedi's graceful run-up and delivery were a joy to watch. www.angelfire.com /sc/COOLIOS/bedi.html

123India.com Cricket Kolkata, May 13: Erapalli Prasanna remained non-committal on Harbhajan Singh’s bowling action but at the same time said that "willingness is important to get things right." Prasanna added: "I will have to acknowledge that I am making mistakes and only then I can be corrected." Talking about that particular type of delivery Prasanna said: "The doosra is a variation in off-spin bowling. You can call it an off-spinner’s googly, but the execution should be correct." He added: "I have seen that 80 to 90 per cent of the academy boys tend to bend their arms while delivering the doosra. cricket.123india.com /news/520050514-c.html

Anil Kumble - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia He went on to become the second fastest Indian bowler to reach 100 test wickets (in 21 test matches) after Erapalli Prasanna. On November 27, 1993, he took 6 wickets for 12 runs in an ODI against the West Indies at Calcutta, a new record for best bowling figures by an Indian, a record which has stayed for 10 years. He took his first 50 test wickets in just 10 test matches making him the only Indian bowler to do so. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Anil_Kumble

Rediff On The NeT: Prasanna comes to Chauhan's defence Prasanna, one of the top exponents of off-spin in the world, who along with Bishen Singh Bedi and Bhagwat Chandrashekhar formed the 'spin troika' in the late 60s, says he and former England off-spinner Fred Titmus studied the video footage provided by the ICC in London and found nothing wrong with his action. Prasanna says though he had been asked by the BCCI to accompany Chauhan to London to study his action, the BCCI and ICC did not repose any faith in him. Former Test player Erapalli Prasanna feels not enough has been done for the off-spinner, who has been in and out of the Indian cricket team for a suspect bowling action. www.rediff.com /sports/1998/jun/08c.htm
