Cobbling Together the Dream Indian Eleven
COBBLING TOGETHER THE DREAM INDIAN ELEVEN Whenever the five selectors, often dubbed as the five wise men with the onerous responsibility of cobbling together the best players comprising India’s test cricket team, sit together to pick the team they feel the heat of the country’s collective gaze resting on them. Choosing India’s cricket team is one of the most difficult tasks as the final squad is subjected to intense scrutiny by anybody and everybody. Generally the point veers round to questions such as why batsman A was not picked or bowler B was dropped from the team. That also makes it a very pleasurable hobby for followers of the game who have their own views as to who should make the final 15 or 16 when the team is preparing to leave our shores on an away visit or gearing up to face an opposition on a tour of our country. Arm chair critics apart, sports writers find it an enjoyable professional duty when they sit down to select their own team as newspapers speculate on the composition of the squad pointing out why somebody should be in the team at the expense of another. The reports generally appear on the sports pages on the morning of the team selection. This has been a hobby with this writer for over four decades now and once the team is announced, you are either vindicated or amused. And when the player, who was not in your frame goes on to play a stellar role for the country, you inwardly congratulate the selectors for their foresight and knowledge. -

Australia V England
AUSTRALIA V. INDIA DECEMBER 29, 2018 BOXING DAY TEST FACT SHEET - DAY 4 The MCC library fact sheets for each day of this Test match highlight outstanding individual performances that determined the course and result in Test matches at the MCG between Australia and India, as well as in the context of their impact on the series. Each will also include a brief account of the respective player’s career. Today's sheet reviews the Third Test of the 1947/48 series and profiles Vinoo Mankad. The 1947/48 tour The tour represented a notable landmark for the visitors as it was the first series played by India since it achieved independence from Britain in August 1947, as well as the first time it took part in Tests against a country other than England and the first time it participated in a five-Test series. Two of the Tests, the Third and Fifth, were played at the MCG, the only occasion that an Indian tour of Australia has included more than one Test at the ground. KANWAR RAI SINGH A hard-hitting right-hander, Kanwar Rai Singh was one of four late inclusions in the team to Australia, after the withdrawals of Vijay Merchant (the nominated captain), Rusi Modi, Syed Mushtaq Ali and Fazal Mahmood, the latter now a citizen of Pakistan following the partition of the Punjab in northern India. Fazal later became the mainstay of the Pakistan attack throughout the 1950s. The choice of Rai Singh surprised many in India, at least one critic suggesting a political element because of “his Patiala connections”. -
