“Guru, do you have the first 2 matches in the Cross/Brands series in 1996 to make the Olympic team. The 3rd famous match is posted on youtube but I would LOVE to see the first 2 matches as, from what I understand, they were extremely heated. If you have them, can you please post them at your earliest convenience...like in the next 30 seconds if possible.”
