Former Pakistan captain Mushtaq Mohammad talked about his friendship with his lifelong friend and former India spinner Bishan Singh Bedi, who is sadly no more. The former Pakistan all-rounder credits Bedi to date for making a leg-spinner out of him when nobody else took his bowling seriously. Mushtaq picked up 79 wickets in Tests and scored 3543 runs. "Great man... I played for Northamptonshire and Bishan Singh Bedi played for Northamptonshire. We lived together for six years at Northampton. I learned lot from him. He made me a bowler which I wasn't. His contribution to Northamptonshire and English cricket is tremendous. He helped me become the bowler that I became. I can't forget those years. Very sad to lose him, bas yaadein rahe jaati hain (all we have are memories)."
