Erapalli Anantharao Srinivas Prasanna (Kannada:ಎರಾಪಳ್ಳಿ ಅನಂತರಾವ್‌ ಶ್ರೀನಿವಾಸ್‌ ಪ್ರಸನ್ನ) audio|E._A._S._Prasanna.ogg|pronunciation (born: May 22, 1940) is a famous cricket player from Bangalore, India. He was a spin bowler, specializing in off spin and a member of the Indian spin quartet.

Career

Prasanna played his debut Test cricket match at Madras against England in 1961. His first overseas tour to the West Indies was a tough one and he did not play another Test for five years. He left the sport for a period to finish his engineering degree, returning in 1967. He gained a regular place in the side following his excellent performances in England in 1967.

He retired in 1978, after a tour of Pakistan which also signalled the exit of Bishen Bedi and Bhagwat Chandrasekhar from the national team. He twice led Karnataka to the Ranji Trophy, the first time ending Bombay's 15-year reign.

Widely respected and feared in domestic cricket as well, he enjoyed bowling to batsmen that were willing to try to hit him. He had a neat, brisk, high action and marvellous control of line, length, and flight. He spun the ball in a classic high loop towards the batsman, increasing his chances of beating his adversary in the air. As a result, he made the ball bounce higher than expected. A bowler with an attacking mindset, he was also patient, and would bait a batsman for over after over, attempting to induce a mistake.

He has written an autobiography,"One More Over".
