Sheikh Basharat “Basher” Hassan (born March 24, 1944), in Nairobi, Kenya, was a Kenyan first class cricketer who played for Nottinghamshire from 1966 to 1985. A right-handed batsman, he made 14,394 runs at an average of 29.07.
After playing club cricket in Kenya, Hassan made his first-class debut for an East African Invitation XI against the Marylebone Cricket Club in 1963. He moved to England and made his debut for Nottinghamshire in 1966 against Oxford University whilst serving the then mandatory period of qualification. Having made 579 runs in 1967 he was forced to sit out the 1968 season when Gary Sobers was engaged. Initially a wicketkeeper, he developed as an opening batsman although he occasionally kept wicket in List A cricket. He was a notable fieldsman; in 1971 Wisden said that “his brilliance in the covers stamped him as one of the outstanding men in this position in the country” and that his team-mates were “fired by the example of the enthusiastic Hassan”.
He became a regular member of the Nottinghamshire first team in 1969 and scored 1,000 runs in a season on five occasions and scored fifteen centuries. His highest score was 182 not out against Gloucestershire in 1977. In List A matches his highest was 120 not out against Warwickshire in 1981.
He was 12th man for England in a Test in 1985 at Trent Bridge during the Ashes series after which he retired from County Cricket. He was for some years the Nottinghamshire Development Manager.

Sally Jessy Raphael’s net worth, biography, fact, career, awards and life story

Sally Jessy Raphael Net Worth and salary: Sally Jessy Raphael is an American talk show host who has a net worth of $40 million dollars. Born Sally Lowenthal on February 25, 1935 in Easton, Pennsylvania, she is best known for hosting her own talk show, Sally Jessy Raphael, as well as her trademark red-framed glasses. Raphael studied broadcasting and acting while in college and began her career as a correspondent in Puerto Rico before coming to U.S. radio and television during the ’60s, where she continued to grow her career over the next two decades. In the early ’80s, Raphael caught the attention of Maurice Tunick, producer of Talknet (NBC’s syndicated nighttime radio-in shows), and he decided to test her on a one-hour trial run on WRC in Washington, D.C. Her warm and personal take on the forum won him over and she secured a position that would establish her as a confidant on national radio, expertly bridging private and public realms with her caring but professional manner. Her television talk show, Sally Jessy Raphael, hit the air in 1983 and enjoyed success until 2002. Again, her easy rapport with an audience—a live studio audience this time—struck a chord with her audience and the talk show was a hit. The show did receive some major criticism for what some considered ‘morally marginal’ topics and discussions, but Raphael believes she helped people and exposed problems and social stigmas that had never been aired prior to her show. Since the ending of the Sally Jessy Raphael show, Raphael has gone on to host internet and radio shows. Salary: In September 1993, at the peak of her show’s popularity, Sally signed the largest contract of her career. That deal with production company Multimedia Inc. paid Sally $25 million over five years. After adjusting for inflation, that contract was worth approximately $44 million, around $9 million per year before taxes. She signed one more contract that paid slightly less until the show ended in 2002. Sally aired nearly 4000 episodes over its run.
