Venkatpathy Raju
Anyone following the Indian cricket in the 90's must remember the muscular built of V. Raju, a part of the Indian spin trio and one of very few people who can give Prasad a run for his money in batting. Style of bowling: Left arm super-slow.
Once he was bowling to Graham Gooch...penultimate ball of the session....a well-flighted ball, with all the loop and air it could gather, pitching on the middle stump...not turning ( as most of his deliveries). The batsman(what a moron) does not offer a shot and is hit plumb in front. Raju is excited, so is More, so is the entire Indian team...umpire vehemently denies it. Raju is animated...
Raju: Did the ball pitch in line?
Umpire: Yes
Raju: Was it going to hit the stumps?
Umpire: Of course, you moron, there was nowhere else it was going
Raju: Why the f did you say not out?????
Umpire: The bowl wouldn't have knocked the bails down, son!!
Raju: #$%#$#%

Surgeon: Hello there...I'm not too regular with this...but still I enjoy it. I know you're a veteran.
Raju one of the most strapping well built guys to have donned the blue brought along with him a new wave of fitness fanaticism to the Indian team. He hit the gym with amazing regularity and is rumored to have done 300 pushups once with Vinod Kambli sitting and Romesh Pawar sitting on his back. That kinda explains the nicname given to him by his team too.
Don't you dare insult a fellow gult fellow. He was a class bowler..you don't need mass to be class.:)..good one
