India's Indian enemy!

AFP, St John's
Not Brian Charles Lara, but a West Indian batsman with an Indian name has been troubling Sourav Ganguly's Indians the most on the current cricket tour.
Shivnarine Chanderpaul hammered 140 in the opening Test at Georgetown, an unbeaten 67 in the second at Port-of-Spain and 101 not out in the third at Bridgetown to remind Ganguly that all was not well with India's bowling.
This is not the first time Indian cricketers have been uncomfortable with Indian names in West Indies teams.
Spinner Sonny Ramadhin tied the Indian batsmen into knots on their maiden tour of the Caribbean in 1952-53, taking five wickets in his team's 142-run victory at Bridgetown.
Rohan Kanhai punished the Indian bowlers at Calcutta in 195859 when he cracked 256, the highest individual score by a West Indian batsman against India in 73 Tests.
Players of Indian descent have been serving the West Indies cricket with distinction since 1950, when Ramadhin arrested the world's attention with his versatile spin bowling.
Twenty cricketers, mainly from Trinidad and Guyana, have so far represented the West Indies at Test level.
They have made their presence felt as spinners and batsmen, like the players of the land their forefathers had migrated from to work as indentured labourers in the sugarcane fields in the 19th century.
As with Indians in their homeland, fast bowling has never been their forte. It is hardly surprising that no paceman of Indian origin has ever played Test cricket for the West Indies.
Observers feel the left-handed Chanderpaul bats more like an Indian than a West Indian, the stress being on building an innings rather
than flaying the rival attack.
"I think it has something to do with the physique," said 'Reds' Perreira, a veteran West Indian radio commentator.
"They're skilful batsmen and spinners, but not fast bowlers. One can see Indian-like concentration when Chandrpaul bats. But not every batsman of Indian origin bats like him, for Ramnaresh Sarwan likes to play strokes."
It all began with Ramadhin, a 5ft 4in bowler capable of turning the ball from off to leg as well as from leg to off to beguile the batsmen.
The first East Indian to represent the West Indies, Ramadhin had played just two trial games before being picked for the 1950 tour of England.
The English batsmen found him a riddle difficult to unravel as the spinner captured 26 wickets in four Tests, including 11-152 off 115 overs in the second at Lord's.
The batsmen had to contend with not one, but two quality slow bowlers as Alf Valentine also kept pressure with his left-arm spin.
The duo scripted the maiden West Indies Test series victory in England, inspiring Lord Beginner to pen a famous calypso: "Those two little pals of mine, Ramadhin and Valentine."
Ramadhin retired with 158 wickets in 43 Tests.
"His was a positive influence on the Indo-West Indians," said Perreira.
"But it was the Clyde Walcott development programme that really opened the game for East Indians.
"Walcott was given the job by a British company operating a sugar industy in Guyana in the early 1950s. He began to encourage and develop cricket in sugar belts. He also did coaching along with Robert Christiani.
"A lot of players came for trial matches, including Kanhai, Basil Butcher and Joe Solomon."
If Ramadhin was the first bowler of Indian origin to achieve fame, Kanhai was the first batsman.
Kanhai made his Test debut in
1956-57 and went on to score 6,227 runs in 79 Tests with 15 centuries, also becoming the first East Indian to lead the West Indies from 1972 to 1974.
His nephew, Alvin Kallicharran, also came from Berbice in Guyana to play a significant role.
The left-hander gained instant recognition as he smashed centuries in his first two Tests, against New Zealand in 1972.
Kallicharran, who scored 4,399 runs in 66 Tests with 12 hundreds, was the second and last from Indian background to have captained the West Indies.
Fellow-Guyanese batsman Faoud Bacchus (19), Trinidadian spinners Inshan Ali (12) and Raphick Jumadeen (12), Sew Shivnarine (8) and Leonard Baichan (3) were the others to have figured in more than two Tests between 1970 and 1994.
No Indian, however, was a member of the various successful West Indies teams of the 1980s that dominated the world with quality fast bowlers and exciting stroke-players.
When Chanderpaul made his Test debut in 1994, he was the first, but not the last, to be picked since 1981.
Sarwan and leg-spinner Mahendra Nagamootto were the others in the West Indies squad for the first Test against Ganguly's Indians.
