India won the principal test against Australia. Group India has taken a 1-0 lead in the 5-match series under the Boundary Gavaskar Prize. The subsequent Test will begin in Adelaide from December 6. Before that, India was booked to play a warm-up match against the State leader's XI from Saturday, yet the match was not begun because of downpour right off the bat.
Group India has played this match in Australia a few times previously. There is an episode connected with one such match. In 1991, India confronted the State head's XI on a visit through Australia.
Then Sachin Tendulkar was excused by Auji pacer Greg Rowley. In any case, such a cricketer didn't remain on the cricket field after that. Changed his calling, didn't play for his nation once. He is right now an effective legal counselor, as well as an authority of Cricket Australia.
In a meeting given to a paper, Greg Rowley said that Sachin Tendulkar was not a major name around then, Ravi Shastri was more famous then, at that point. Around then this Auji pacer was just 23 years of age. In that match against India he took 7 wickets for 27 runs, including the wickets of Shastri and Sachin. As now, India had played just a single Test before the State leader's XI and the 18-year-old Tendulkar had not yet scored many runs.
However at that point he scored hundreds in the Perth and Sydney Tests. "Toward the finish of the series, I knew who Tendulkar was," says Gregg. State head's XI games were no joking matter in Australian cricket at that point, allowing skilled young people an opportunity to play close by the seniors and show what them can do.
Reviewing the match, Rowley said, 'The game was broadcast all around the nation, and it was a counterpart for our top of the line players where the entire nation was watching and passing judgment on us.' Matthew Hayden, Michael Bevan, Damien Fleming, Greg Blewett, Jamie Siddons and Tim Zoherer. Rowley experienced childhood in Canberra yet played cricket in Sydney since cricket in Canberra wasn't large then.
Normally he was extremely personal contemplating the past. This time too there are numerous gifted youths in the group. It is not yet clear who can come to Australia's most memorable XI later on.
