West Indies fast bowlers Courtney Walsh and Joel Garner, along with Bishan Singh Bedi and the late Ken Barrington of England joined the 60 male members of the Hall of Fame, while England’s Rachael Heyhoe Flint becomes the first woman to be inducted.
Red carpet arrivals:
Bishan Singh Bedi was among the first to arrive. He’s being inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame this evening and he said it was a huge honour. The media waiting here grilled him on what he thought about India taking on Australia and whther India vs Australia was now turning out to be a bigger rivalry than India vs Pakistan. Bedi said that there has always been a fierce rivalry between the two teams.
The Indian team arrived at the awards in their team bus and while most of them almost ran across the red carpet, Sachin Tendulkar (who was up for three awards tonight) did stop to answer questions. And there were plenty of them! Sachin seemed to be in a great mood after yesterday’s awesome win in Mohali and he said that though every win means alot, yesterday’s win was just very very special. We agree.
