  1. This happened in 1982 when Dennis Lillie kicked Javed Miandad during a test match. Lillie believed he got Miandad out by LBW, but the umpire disagreed. Miandad made some sort of smart comment to Lillie after the decision, and then Lillie kicked Miandad in the shin. Miandad went to hit Lillie with the bat, but the umpire stepped in between them.

  3. phew!! Vishu, I never knew you followed cricket so intensely..!!
    To add more spice:
    1) Tony Crafter was the gentleman umpire who intervened;
    2) Current Indian Cricket Coach, Greg Chappell was the Australian Cricket Captain at the time of the incident. Mr. Chappell obviously defended Lillee and squarely blamed Miandad for this incident!!!

Ariyaatha pillakku choriyumbol ariyum!

As a kid/teenager, my only source of information to learn malayalam was Manorama Publications' Balaram, a children's fortnightly and my granny. I still vividly remember how she used to teach me the basics of malayalam whenever I come to Kerala on vacations. My granny was also a great source of amazement for me as she used malaylam proverbs or the so called "pazham chollu" every now and then. These proverbs, though small in length and use, had deep insights! Though I can read/write Malayalam today, thx to Balarama and my granny, I used to miss her proverbs a lot. But not anymore!! Thanks to this Wikipedia link , forwarded to me by Vinay
