Vishy is right. Sasi who many did not know was the lowest ranked player in Mtel and yet led the tournament for some time. Ask anyone in the know what happened when the British Championship used to be open to the Commonwealth and why it was known as an "Indian Takeaway". Not an offence to the lovely Indian restaurants but unknown players from India used to hammer bigwigs and go home laughing all the way to the bank.
