My father was a "founder" member of the National Cricket Club, entitling us to two pavilion tickets for each Test. I never quite figured out how he had been a founder member, since he was born after the NCC was formed. This little fact did not seem to concern anyone else in the queue for pavilion tickets either, very few people appeared to be old enough to be founder members. Unless of course the memberships were transferable. Which they were not. Didn’t miss any day of a Test at Eden Gardens between December 1966 and January 1980.

I remember listening to the radio commentary - yes, with a power cut - of Gavaskar's innings, ably supprted by Chetan Chauhan. Our jaat-bhai Venkat was the captain of India on that tour. We also had another exciting series in our college time, India vs Austalia, the latter led by Bobby Simpson, and minus all the Packer players. But there was Thommo, and also Doug Walters, and several other subsequent eminents. India lost the series 2-3. BTW, did you attend the Lord's World Cup final in 1983, when India won?
