The Legend Amar Singh 30, Nov 2017 AMAR SINGH - THE LEGEND AMAR SINGH - THE LEGEND The first official Indian cricket team that travelled to England in 1932 was lead by “Maharaj Natvar sinhji of Porbandar” while “the Prince of Limbdi Ghanshaym sinhji” was the vice Captain of that team. However both of them withdrew before the test match started, and Col.C.K. Naydu became the first Captain of India. But how many of us know that there was a player in that team named “Ladha bhai Nakum Amar singh” who was from our own region of Saurashtra and that too from Rajkot. He was a right arm medium pace bowler and very useful lower order batsman. A genuine all-rounder one can say on the basis of his outstanding records in India and overseas. Len Hutton once said “there is no better bowler in this World than Amar singh”. Another England great Wally Hammond said about Amar Singh's bowling "he came off the pitch like the crack of doom". Indeed, Amar Singh was the first great Indian bowler known for his sharp- accurate bowling, endurance and ability to make the ball talk. He could move the ball in the air or cut it sharply off the pitch. He made his mark in the Indian cricket by becoming the first bowler to take 100 wickets in Ranji trophy (in 16 matches) and only second to score 1000 runs in Ranji trophy. In a very short Ranji Trophy career playing for Western India (WISCA) and Nawanagar he achieved those amazing milestones. He played seven Tests before the World war-II. In the first Test in 1932 he took four wickets and hit an attacking 51, coming in at No 9. Against England in 1933-34, he bowled really well taking 4 wickets for 106 in the second Test at Calcutta. In the final Test at Madras, in the absence of Nissar, he had to work overtime and rose to the occasion with a bag of seven for 86 in the first innings. Going in at No. 4, he scored a hard hitting 48. Amar Singh was however at his best in England where the conditions suited him. From 1932 onwards playing in English county cricket he took 111 wickets (20.78) and made 641 runs (22.89). By 1936 he was a famous Lancashire League professional and was released only for a few games for the Indian touring team which played 3 test matches in England. In the first Test, he took 6 wickets for 35 in the first innings. In the second Test he again displayed his batting abilities by hitting an unbeaten 48 to help India draw the game. In the final Test at the Oval he scored a valuable 44 going in at No. 4 thus proving beyond doubt that he could be classified as an all rounder. At home, he was at his best against Lord Tennyson's team in 1937-38 when he bagged 36 wickets (16.66) in the five unofficial Tests. It was an irony of the fate and greatest tragedy that this great cricketer Amar singh died at a very young age of 30. Just imagine what he would have contributed to the game of cricket for this region had he lived longer! Having said that Amar singh will always be remembered as one of the finest cricketers this region has ever produced and will always live in the hearts of cricket lovers. Photo Gallery at Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium has some of rare and priceless photos of Amar Singh. -By Prakash Bhatt (Prominent Player and Former Captain of Saurashtra Ranji Team) .

    SUNDAY, JUNE 28, 2020 (PAGE 4) SPORTS A Dream Indian Cricket Team Sunil Fernandes The advent of limited-over cricket from the 1970s has irrevocably changed the way the game is played. With all fixtures locked down, one cricket fan lets his mind wander to what might have been. Vasant Raji, India’s oldest first-class cricketer, passed away recently. He was 100 years old. His passing, perhaps, is a time for cricket to remember and cele- brate some of the other great stalwarts of Indian test cricket too – especially when the coronavirus pandemic has meant no sporting events can take place. India played its ever first ever test match at the historic Lords Cricket Ground in 1932 against England.

    RACE AND CRICKET: THE WEST INDIES AND ENGLAND AT LORD’S, 1963 by HAROLD RICHARD HERBERT HARRIS Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Arlington in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT ARLINGTON August 2011 Copyright © by Harold Harris 2011 All Rights Reserved To Romelee, Chamie and Audie ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My journey began in Antigua, West Indies where I played cricket as a boy on the small acreage owned by my family. I played the game in Elementary and Secondary School, and represented The Leeward Islands’ Teachers’ Training College on its cricket team in contests against various clubs from 1964 to 1966. My playing days ended after I moved away from St Catharines, Ontario, Canada, where I represented Ridley Cricket Club against teams as distant as 100 miles away. The faculty at the University of Texas at Arlington has been a source of inspiration to me during my tenure there. Alusine Jalloh, my Dissertation Committee Chairman, challenged me to look beyond my pre-set Master’s Degree horizon during our initial conversation in 2000. He has been inspirational, conscientious and instructive; qualities that helped set a pattern for my own discipline. I am particularly indebted to him for his unwavering support which was indispensable to the inclusion of a chapter, which I authored, in The United States and West Africa: Interactions and Relations , which was published in 2008; and I am very grateful to Stephen Reinhardt for suggesting the sport of cricket as an area of study for my dissertation.
