Aldyr Schlee was born in Jaguarao, a town on the Brazil Uruguayan border. He
spent his life studying the Brazil-Uruguay international relations and literature.

football match in London, and that led to both the teams paying him respect by
observing a minute of silence.

luck to Brazil, and Aldyr’s name has since been forever etched in the history of
Brazilian football.

Before making his test debut, X had only played 9 FC matches in his
career. He debuted at Brisbane, which incidentally was also the first

contributions from P. Hendren and J. Hobbs. In reply, Australia made
only 121 with X making only 18. After conceding a mammoth first
innings lead , Australia succumbed to the pressure and lost the match
by 675 runs.

❑After a heated finals, the British West Indies team came 3rd in the last quarter of

fame.

hit one of his signature 3 pointers, X took the match ball and wrote on it
something he had be waiting 27 years to write probably.

pointers scored in the NBA, and after the match, he rather tearfully expressed
how number 42 would never have happened weren't for number 43.
