Hyderabad v Tamil Nadu, 1986-87, SecunderabadI played my first Ranji Trophy game when I was 26 [25]. I thought it was much delayed; I probably deserved it when I was 21-22. I had finished B.Sc Mathematics and my father pushed me to do engineering. When I was doing my engineering in Coimbatore, I came to Chennai every weekend to play first-division cricket. I was scoring a lot of runs, but there was no opening for me in the team.I had to wait quite a bit because there were others who made their debuts. But they never quite latched on to the opportunity and I got my go. At one point, I thought I might never make it. But, I was so hell bent on wanting to play cricket that I didnt feel like going to the USA to pursue my MS degree. I asked my dad to give me one years time and within that I would play in the Ranji Trophy. When that happened, he asked me What now?; I said, Give me one more year, I will play for India. And I did play for India.During the train journey to Hyderabad for my Ranji Trophy debut, whenever I turned around I would see someone or the other looking at me. My team-mates knew my father was a leading lawyer and I didnt come from a background where the Ranji Trophy meant a lot to me. They knew I used to drive my fathers Mercedes Benz to matches. Not that I was pampered, but people looked at it and thought: Oh god, this guy has got a lot of money. I just tried to read something on the train and make sure my nerves were settling down.There were a few good things about making my debut at the Secunderabad Gymkhana. It has always been a good pitch to bat on and was lucky for me after that match as well. But, captain Abdul Jabbar lost the toss and we saw Abdul Azeem score a triple hundred. We then saw Khalid Abdul Qayyum and Vijay Mohanraj also get a hundred. I remember one fast bowler, Immanuel Rajkumar, was also making his debut; he must have wished he hadnt been there.Those days few people had the Morrant pads, and Azeem was one of them. He played forward to a delivery from Rajkumar, and the ball ricocheted off the pads and went back to Rajkumar quite sharply. Rajkumar held it with one hand and appealed. It was so funny and we made fun of him. That kind of desperation was because Hyderabads score at that time was 500 for 3 or something. When my turn to bat came, I decided to hang on and play out 55 overs or so [on the second day]. I remember one moment when V Sivaramakrishnan was batting in the 90s, and he flicked the ball to mid-wicket to Azeem, who was their best fielder, and called for a run. He was really angry when I turned it down, but there was no run there. The next ball, Arshad Ayub went diagonally round the stumps and darted one of his faster ones - it must have been about 135 kph (laughs). He didnt offer a shot and the stump went flying. Sivaramakrishnan didnt say anything to me, and everybody in the team knew he was a fussy runner so nobody said anything. It was just his nerves in the 90s and he was looking get off strike. I dont remember how I got out, but its a surprise I got out to Bobjee (Narasimha Rao); it must have been a terrible delivery (laughs). I was dismissed for 81.I had never been to Hyderabad before that trip. I had read so much about the Charminar and seen photographs of it, so I desperately wanted to see it. But, once there, I felt totally disappointed; I could barely breath and move around. But, Hyderabad has been lucky in a lot of ways. I got a call to play for India in the one-dayers against New Zealand after the selectors saw me at the Fateh Maidan [Lal Bahadur Shastri Stadium].When I got back to Chepauk, there was this manager called Santhanam in the Tamil Nadu Cricket Association. When I met him, he said: its good you got out for 81. I was so upset because a hundred on debut would have been special, and asked him why he said that. He said batsmen who scored a hundred on debut for Tamil Nadu never played more than five or six matches. I actually ended up playing for a very long time [81 first-class games] - I made my debut in 1986 and retired in 1998.As told to Arun Venugopal Cheap Custom Soccer Shirts .

OMAHA, Neb. -- Cammile Adams got a scare Wednesday when she was disqualified from the 200-meter butterfly after posting the fastest qualifying time in the preliminaries at the U.S. Olympic swimming trials. After a video review, the decision was overturned and she remained in the hunt for a spot on her second straight Olympic team.A deck official initially ruled Adams was on her back instead of her stomach coming off the 150-meter wall, and she was DQd, which triggers an underwater review. Her time of 2 minutes, 8.29 seconds was fastest among 16 qualifiers for the evening semifinals.When I saw it, obviously a little bit of panic, a lot of panic, Adams said. But just really thankful for the system we have. I got to go back to the head official and just look at the underwater camera. With it being overturned, obviously Im very, very thankful.David Marsh, Adams coach, said the underwater camera showed Adams toes off the wall with her fully on her side moving toward her stomach on the last turn of the four-lap race.This was a case where having more technology is the right thing to do, said Marsh, who will coach the U.S. womens team in Rio de Janeiro. You want to give the benefit to the athlete.Marsh described Adams as being blown away by the DQ.Cams the kind of person who doesnt do anything wrong, much less a turn, Marsh said. Every time she touches the wall, itss with two hands.dddddddddddd The problem we get in here is that when the swimmers are coming through the rotation on a turn, all butterfliers who touch the wall drop the shoulder to slip under the water and then push off. So once youre under the water, its hard to really get a clear idea of if youre really on your back side or stomach.Adams finished fifth in the 200 fly at the London Olympics.She planned to do some extra turns during warm-ups before the evening semis.Im not worried, she said. Im very, very confident in what weve done this past year.In other preliminaries, defending Olympic champion Nathan Adrian was the top qualifier in the 100 freestyle in 48.43 seconds. Also advancing to the evening semifinals was Anthony Ervin, who at 35 is the oldest man competing at trials.Ryan Lochte qualified sixth-fastest but dropped out to get further treatment for a groin injury that has compromised his performances at trials. He is focused on making the team in the 200 individual medley, which starts Thursday. Lochte is already going to Rio de Janeiro as a relay swimmer, but he wants to swim an individual event.Kevin Cordes was the top qualifier in the 200 breaststroke with a time of 2:08.54. He already made the team in the 100 breast. ' ' '
