About the author Sandeep Patil, born in 1956, was one of the most entertaining players on the international stage in the 1980s. In his five-year-long international career he came up with some sterling performances. In Australia in 1980-81 he took on the likes of Dennis Lillee, Len Pascoe and Rodney Hogg to plunder 174 at the Adelaide Oval. If that was his finest hour, he gave power hitting a good name when he scored 24 off Bob Willis in a single over at Old Trafford in 1982.
