Let’s learn from the legends. In this article we hear some incredible stories from South African legendary spinner Paul Adams.

This year was off to the worst possible start. The worst pandemic in the space of 100 years severely impacted multiple business operations, governments and resulted in many disruptions, especially in the world of international sports. 

I would have never guessed that the Cricket Fanatics Magazine would bestow the responsibility of hosting a show where I get to meet and engage with multiple cricketing legends I‘ve witnessed in the past.

After 13 episodes of “Legends with Ravi”, I gained a re-education in the game of cricket in the South African landscape. I have met former international superstars as well as disadvantaged players who never got the international accolades or rewards.

I have also met journalists, commentators and former match referees, all of which had a fundamental impact on changing the cricketing infrastructure in South Africa.

These are the various lessons I have picked up during this fortunate experience:

  • We had the opportunity to meet Paul Adams in the very first episode. During the conversation with Paul, we discussed how impactful “Unity” was to his development and assisted in his transition to becoming an international player eventually. Paul encountered many legends himself from Shane Warne to Nasser Hussain and Mike Atherton. 

The beauty of being in the interviewer’s chair is that there were plenty of life lessons from the experiences of our guests. What are the valuable lessons you have learned during the running of this show? Who would you like to see next? Sound off your comments below. 

Yours in Peace, Love and Cricket.
