Abbas Ali Baig has an interesting tale to about himself and his Oxford, India and Hyderabad team-mate, his good friend Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi.
“EW Swanton asked the two of us to join his international team for a tour of the West Indies. In Barbados, we were put up in a rather luxurious house. On returning from a late party, we found to our horror the gates locked! We barely managed to climb in (thanks to the practice in Oxford), only to find two huge dogs blocking the path to our room. This was the first time I got to see Tiger’s unbelievable athleticism, as we both ran for our lives and barely escaped those nasty jaws,” write Baig in the book, Pataudi — Nawab of cricket.
