Noel David

Noel Arthur David  pronunciation  (born 26 February 1971 in Hyderabad, India) is a former Indian cricketer. He played domestic cricket for Hyderabad and played four One Day Internationals for India in 1997.

David was a bowling all-rounder - a decent off-break bowler and a lower order batsman. He was an excellent fielder.

Sachin Tendulkar is believed to have asked "Noel who?" when he learned that Noel David was the replacement for the injured pace spearhead Javagal Srinath during India's 1997 tour of West Indies. Noel David in a later interview clarified Sachin never said that statement, and it was Ajit Wadekar who did.

Sunil Gavaskar once said that he was the greatest ever fielder for Indian cricket team. (By Imran Khan)
