The English and Indian cricket teams lined up on either side of the wooden gate that separates the playing area of the Lord's Cricket Ground from the Members' Enclosure. The second Test of the 1996 series between the two countries was the final international assignment of Harold 'Dickie' Bird, one of cricket's most revered umpires. The players' 'Guard of Honour' brought the spectators to their feet and tears to Bird's eyes. Among the players saluting the veteran umpire was a young man with stars in his eyes. It was a time of turmoil in Indian cricket. The campaign to win the World Cup earlier that year had ended amidst a shower of stones and bottles at Kolkata during the semifinal against eventual winners Sri Lanka. The selectors responded to the loss by dropping Manoj Prabhakar and Vinod Kambli, two of the team's prominent players, from the squad for the next tournament, a tri-series at Singapore. While Prabhakar's omission came as no surprise after his annihilation by the Sri Lankans in a league encounter of the World Cup, the swashbuckling Kambli's axing was widely condemned. He was a popular member of the side and cricket-lovers didn't take too kindly to the claims made by 'inner sources' that he had been punished for his 'indiscipline'. The furore over his omission completely obscured the news of the inclusion of a twenty-three-year-old Bangalorean named Rahul Dravid. Sharing Widget |
