Although I am an unrelenting cricket fan, have not seen much of him. Honestly, he truly depicted a king size style in life - on field and off field. Grace and elegance are the perfect words for him.<br /><br />Though we lost mostly during those days, guys like Pataudi sahab were the ones from whom several budding stars drew inspiration in times when the facilities were not so great and money did not drive the cricket.Vishalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09901902300962335348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4740849900073154554.post-66503901730249415192011-09-27T08:05:23.102+05:302011-09-27T08:05:23.102+05:30@Deepa - Yes, grace is acutely in short supply.

Watching Pat was a privilege , but alas, those days India mostly lost :(<br /><br />@CMK - Beautiful comment.

Can still remember him hiiting Wes Hall for boundaries. Immediately he became the first cricket hero. Also watched the test match where GRV made that immortal 97 which he captained expertly and won the match. <br /><br />Many Ranji and Duleep trophy matches drew a large crowd including many ladies if he was playing in them.<br /><br />Yes many grew up trying to imitate his mannerisms. Many tried playing with the cap perched at an angle; tried walk like him - though none played like him.<br /><br />He was a legend even to the legends like GRV, SMG and others. His expert commentating was a lesson - which alas no one picked up.<br /><br />His rare editorials for 'Sportsworld' were gems.<br /><br />RIP Mansur Ali Khan Nawab SaabCMKnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4740849900073154554.post-88412844349462230572011-09-26T14:27:10.078+05:302011-09-26T14:27:10.078+05:30This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4740849900073154554.post-16243573727665161982011-09-26T10:10:01.864+05:302011-09-26T10:10:01.864+05:30Have not seen him play.

I've only heard about his game and his witty charm, but I have to say that not all royals are regal. I guess some people are just built that way. Not too many of his grace are to be found these days, even in the blue-blooded community.Deepahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16149267172223745802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4740849900073154554.post-36236110521570724112011-09-26T05:47:40.779+05:302011-09-26T05:47:40.779+05:30@Viji - Thanks Viji.

One area probably which has been missed out in your lovely tribute is in the area of expert comments - this is one aspect where we were fortunate to listen to his insightful comments. He was a class apart - one who chose to say the right things at the right time and not go on and on in the name of giving expert comments. <br />His humour laced with sarcasm, when India floundered, was a listener's delight. <br />A great writeup Ramesh.Vijinoreply@blogger.com
