Just a cog in the quartet

While not hiding his dislike for Twenty20 cricket, terming it "absolute rubbish", Bishan Bedi, the former Indian captain, gives his opinion to India Journal on present-day cricket, including the flow of big money into the game and the new system of reviewing the on-field umpires' decision.

Bedi, often hailed as the game's greatest left-arm spinner, played down his role in India's famed spin quartet.

“Chandra and Prasanna were the champions, Venkataraghavan was most competitive, I was just a cog in the wheel and was selected only because I was a left hander.”
