Those who know the game of Cricket will easily understand this piece of information. I was in the news last month and an article had appeared in the local paper. I'm happy to share it here, this being a rare achievement in the game. It took me 24 years to reach this milestone of 1000 wickets, playing amateur cricket, mostly on weekends. I have this habit of keeping track of my performances and this has helped me become aware of this milestone. I have been a fast bowler all through, still playing. Our club is an old one - estd. 1936. I recently learnt that my grandfather also used to be part of this club - he was also a renown tennis player in his days and also good at other sports.
