American Premier League (APL) Cricket

Sir Richard Hadlee joined APL as Executive Consultant

It is not too long before this knighted bowler was the nemesis of David Gower. Even a certain Sunil Gavaskar was found to have knightmarish days as he would swing both ways. Unlucky to be born in a weak cricketing nation (extremely weak until then), Sir Richard Hadlee carried the baton home for New Zealand lonely on quite a few occasion.

He could not succeed too much in World Cups but his performances against Austalia has been stuff of legend. He was a sprightly swinger of the ball and competed with the famed trio of Imran Khan, Kapil Dev and Ian Botham.

He retired being the highest wicket taker in Test cricket, a performace that woud stand like a beacon for players to come. Now that Muttiah Murlidharan is nearing 800 wickets in tests, he has to thank Richard Hadlee for showing him the way.  He is the executive consultant of APL.
