Nallathagudi Srinivasa Ramaswami (November 1918, Cuddalore - 19 February 1987) was an Indian sports journalist who worked for four decades with The Hindu, Mail and Indian Express, and became an assistant editor at all three newspapers.
Ramaswami often wrote under the pseudonyms "Cardusian" and "New Ebor", the former in honour of Neville Cardus, that doyen of cricket literature, and the latter Alfred Pullin, Victorian-Edwardian cricket correspondent for the Yorkshire Post, whose pseudonym was "Old Ebor".
One of the most subtle and observant writers on the game, Ramaswami's work is celebrated even today.
"What he lacked," wrote Suresh Menon in an otherwise laudatory piece, "was what some modern writers consider more important than style or flair — a harsh line in criticism.
His writing was suggestive rather than brazen, his criticism based on larger principles rather than on passing trends.
