A little recap first. Doordarshan, awarded live rights for World Cup 1996, apparently defaulted on the third instalment due to WorldTel. According to the version coming from DD officials, the payment was sent on time, but the WorldTel official in London had changed residence without informing DD. Thus, the cheque reached after the deadline expired. As a result, Prime Sports won the deal and went to town about it. It branded the historic gathering as Cricket's Greatest Hour. And that it certainly was. That evening I was hypnotised, rubbing shoulders with the likes of Clive Lloyd, Ross Edwards, Mohinder Amarnath, Krish Srikanth, Kirmani, etc, and cracking jokes with this august company over a drink.
