A fast bowler India might have had

The early 1970s were a great time to come of age for an Indian cricket fan Whole Cigarettes Newport. After decades of futility, recounted with corrosive clarity by elders, India had suddenly won back-to-back Test series Cheap Cigarettes Wholesale, and on the road at that, against West Indies and England. Ajit Wadekar's men were feted all over the country, and schoolboys pasted pictures of Gavaskar and Viswanath, Bedi and Chandra, and Engineer and Solkar into their albums. In the late autumn of 1972, as an inexperienced MCC team, whose captain, Tony Lewis, had not even made his Test debut, made its way to India, a third series victory on the trot seemed a foregone conclusion.

The Duleep Trophy semi-final between South and West Zone in mid-November featured many of the stars of those recent Test victories. Farokh Engineer (by then a rarity on the domestic circuit, as he lived most of the year in Lancashire) was West Zone's keeper. And even more enticingly, Nawab Mansur Ali Khan of Pataudi was returning to cricket after a self-imposed exile from the game. He joined Vishy in the middle order of South Zone's batting line-up. Still others (Ramnath Parkar and Michael Dalvi, for instance) were knocking on Test cricket's doors. Today's fans might be taken aback to know that Chepauk was filled to the brim for a domestic encounter.
