Flowers Jersey .C. United of Major League Soccer. United chose the
defender in the second round of the 2013 MLS re-entry draft. Indias Test debut,
at Lords on June 25, 1932, started in dramatic fashion when they reduced a
strong England side to 19 for 3 inside the first hour. There was to be no
fairytale ending. Douglas Jardine, who by the end of the year had become a
figure of hatred in Australia, twice bailed England out and India, hit by
injuries as well, lost by 158 runs. Jardine, however, might have played a
completely different role in the match.The politics of India at the time meant
that the captain of the All-India side had to be from nobility, much as the
England captain had to be an amateur. This narrowed the field considerably as
while there were eligible candidates, none of them were good enough as players.
But the game needed the money and patronage the nobility brought with them.In
1929 India were admitted to the ICC and Anthony de Mello, the secretary of the
Indian board, suggested that perhaps an Englishman could captain India, mainly
to act as a neutral who might be able to bridge and handle ethnic and religious
divides. The man suggested was Jardine, Bombay born, from a family with strong
links to the country, and reportedly on the verge of going to settle back there.
The idea never came to anything, and Jardine ended up leading England against
them at Lords. Other candidates included KS Duleepsinhji, despite his education
at Cheltenham and Cambridge, but it is widely believed that Plum Warner talked
him out of any such thoughts and persuaded him to play for England.New Zealand
had made their Test debut in 1926 and West Indies in 1928, so India was sure to
follow. It should have happened in 1930-31 but a tour by MCC was cancelled
because of a civil disobedience campaign, and another attempt the following
season was scrapped when threats to boycott all matches in Bombay were made.And
so it was that India were scheduled to tour England in 1932, but even then it
was far from straightforward. Although arrangements began to be made in the
first half of 1931, as late as August there were doubts as some provinces
objected and threatened to boycott the trip.On February 4, it was announced that
the Maharajah of Patiala, a massively rich and generous benefactor and keen
player, would lead the side. A driving force in Indian cricket, he was a natural
choice. Kumar Shri Ghanshyamshinhji was named vice-captain and the deputy
vice-captain was the Maharajah of Vizianagram, equally rich and keen but no
cricketer, and a bitter rival of Patiala. Vizianagram had been expected, or more
likely had expected, to lead the side but was usurped when Patiala stepped in.It
was expected that the Nawab of Pataudi would be included but the release
announcing the team said he had not been considered as he informed the Board of
Control he could not participate in the tour. This bland comment disguised anger
that he had turned his back on India at the 11th hour. Even the reserved Times
editorial said his decision had caused soreness as he had definitely promised to
play ...he took part in all of the trials and accepted the captaincy of one of
the sides in the last match.There wwas some speculation whether foreigners -
primarily Englishmen - living in India would be eligible, but it was decided not
to go down this route.dddddddddddd It is, said The Times, a thing for young
India. Some were certainly good enough. Reggie Hudson, described by Wisden as
the best services batsman of the inter-war years, was scoring so many hundreds
that one fellow officer said he was becoming a nuisance. He was in England
anyway in 1932 and in a first-class match at The Oval in August scored 217 in
225 minutes for the Army against the RAF, the second hundred coming in 70
minutes.Patialas selection caused raised eyebrows in The Times. It noted he had
played little cricket in the preceding two years and had preoccupied himself
with leading a group of princes who regarded democracy and the likelihood of a
new constitution with a nervous eye.The side left Bombay - huge crowds turned
out to see them off - on April 4 but by then Patiala and Vizianagram had
withdrawn. Vizianagram was the first to pull out, ostensibly through illness but
more likely he was put out at not only being overlooked as captain but even as
vice-captain. His move was unwise, as soon afterwards Patiala himself withdrew,
again because of ill health. The Maharajah of Porbandar stepped into the void,
but Vizianagrams behaviour as captain of the 1936 tour indicated that India had
a lucky escape.Whereas Vizianagram insisted on playing all the Tests in 1936, to
the teams detriment, Porbandar knew his considerable limitations and only
occasionally took to the field. To him, it was inconceivable that he would
captain them at Lords, and so on the eve of the Lords Test he told his side that
CK Nayudu would captain them.Porbandar was woken in the night by several players
who told him they would not play under Nayudu. His vice-captain,
Ghanshyamshinhji, was not with the tour party at the time, and so Porbandar sent
a cable to Patiala in India. The no-nonsense response came back. They were to
play.So several of the Indians were hardly in the best state of mind as they
took to the field the next morning. Not that Englands openers were in any better
state of mind. Herbert Sutcliffe and Percy Holmes, who ten days earlier had set
a world record in an opening stand of 555 at Leyton, only arrived in London in
the early hours as Yorkshires match against Sussex at Leeds had only ended at
6pm the night before.Within ten minutes both were back in the pavilion and India
were finally underway.Fifty-one years later, to the day, Lords was the scene of
possibly Indian crickets greatest day when Kapil Dev lifted the World Cup.Is
