Only when Indians 'shunned the English county that the Team India climbed the successs. Otherwise sucess was counted by the no of matches inn counties! and not in Ranji matches!
The Indian team were forced to go with three wicket keepers in 1971 and not 1974 as mentioned in the article by Faisal Shariff. The second and third wicket keeper were Krishnamurthy from Hyderabad and SMH Kirmani from Karnataka (Mysore in 1971)
Indian men are childish, mommy's little boys, who still depend on their mommy to find them a wife. Anyone ever wondered how it is that a tiny English trading company ended-up conqurering and ruling this entire sub-continent?? Because they understood pluck, discipline and professionalism, qualities which were alien to Indians then, and now.
