Toplan Parsuramen with Roy McLean.
"Cricket is as much part of the history as books written are part of the history.” CLR James
IN MARCH 2003, Shane Warne arrived in Phoenix, Durban. A local entrepreneur had arranged for him to visit a few schools.
Warne was at his diuretic best as he generously mixed with the locals. And then something magnificent happened. One of the province’s greatest spin bowlers, now residing in Phoenix, arrived. His name, Toplan Parsuramen.
Parsu, as he was popularly known, was, tragically, a stranger to the people gathered. Warne, though, had been briefed, and for once stayed on script, giving Parsu a warm hug.
