6. *4.Parashurama,the sixth avatar of Vishnu fought a war with “X”. The
battle lasted twenty-three days, by the end of which, both warriors were
bloodied and filled with arrows.“X” had knowledge of the divine deadly
weapon Prashwapa,which had the power to put a foe to sleep, and of which
Parashurama was unaware.
When he was about to use the celestial weaponry, all Gods rushed to “X” and
asked him to hold his hand, as it would humiliate Parashurama.
Out of respect, X acquiesced.
Pitrs then appeared and obstructed the chariot of Parashurama, forbidding him from
fighting any longer. The spirit of Parashurama's father, Jamadagni and his grandfather,
Rucheeka, spoke to him:
O son, never again engage in battle with X or any other Kshatriya. Heroism and courage
in battle are the qualities of a Kshatriya, and study of the Vedas and the practice of
austerities are the wealth of the Brahmans. Let this battle with X be your last. O son of
the Bhrigu race, IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO DEFEAT “X”.
—Mahabharata 188:5
In the end, the Gods showered praise on X, and he sought the blessing of Parashurama
Parsurama declared “X” as winner and said you are unconquerable.

16. X was, according to Fuller Pilch the finest all rounder of his day. Although a
small man, under 5' 6" in height, he was for many years an excellent fast bowler, very
accurate with an easy delivery. In later years although his pace diminished he was still
one of the country's leading bowlers. He was a fine batsman with an extremely straight
bat. Born at Brighton on September 5, 1826, he went, after the death of his father, to
live with Tom Box under whose guidance X's cricketing abilities soon developed. He
made his debut for Sussex when only 18 years of age. His performances with both bat
and ball were exceptional. The greatest feat of his career was when he clean
bowled all ten wickets in the second innings of the South v. North game at
Lord's in 1850. At the commencement of his career, and up to the time he reduced
his pace, he averaged around ten wickets per match and in the 38 matches he played
in 1850 he captured 340 wickets. His two greatest batting performances were in 1849
when he scored 100 for Sussex against Kent and in 1855 when he scored 148 in the
Sussex and Yorkshire match - the only century scored that season. He played for
Clarke's All England XI in its early years. Later, on the formation of the United All
England XI, he became, with James Dean, their joint Secretary. Frequent attacks of
rheumatism caused him to abandon the game after the 1863 season at the early age of
37. He started/launched something in 1864 for which we know him today as well.
