Leo John turns back the years

VETERAN national cricketer Leo John grabbed three wickets for eight runs  in a losing effort for Central Over-40 against Preysal, as the 2004 Leo John Over-40 cricket series bowled off at Chaguanas. Preysal scored 143 with Wazard Ali, brother of former Test player Inshan Ali, getting a topscore 41. John bowling his off-spinners grabbed helped restrict the strong Preysal outfit.
