Engineer as celebrity in India?

Note from the future (2024): another attempt at linkblogging. There’s some humour here, but it’s a bit silly BBC News screenshot on the criticism of the India Cricket Team by a former player, Farrokh Engineer

I just love the headline from the first newspaper clipping in this BBC News article: “Engineer hits out at ‘embarrassing’ India”.

Alas, it turns out that the Engineer in question was Farokh Engineer, who kept wicket for India in the 1960s and 70s…

Still, it’s nice to imagine subcontinental sports writers deferring to the clearly superior insights of the engineering profession.

Even I recognised that India were rubbish in the last few Tests in England.
