		+
		+	NEW DELHI: It was the summer of 1911. As ships cut through the grey waters of the Atlantic, aboard one of them was a team that carried not just cricketing gear but the hopes of a nation still in chains.This was an expedition that planted a colonised nation on the cricket fields of the Empire, India’s first ever cricket tour of England.At the helm was the 19-year-old Maharaja Bhupinder Singh of Patiala. But the young prince played little, bowing out early in the tour, citing illness and princely obligations.
		+
		+	The real leader on the field was the remarkable Palwankar Baloo, a left-arm spinner whose turn and guile baffled County batters, and whose own life story, as a Dalit cricketer defying caste barriers, was as stirring as any innings.The team was an epitome of India's diversity, with Parsis, Hindus, Muslims, and Sikhs all playing side-by-side at a time when unity was rare. It was cricket, more than politics, that first made Indians dream together.The tour itself? A mixed bag. Twenty-three first-class matches, six wins, fifteen defeats, two draws. But numbers don’t tell the full tale.The Indians were battling not just seasoned English pros but wet wickets, biting cold, and the weight of being pioneers in a nation of large popularity. Baloo shone brightest, bagging over 100 wickets and earning grudging respect of English scribes.Batters like S. Colah and J. Mistry had their moments, but for the most part, the Indian willow struggled against the moving ball and the greenest of surfaces.Yet, every match felt larger than life. At Leicestershire, Yorkshire, and other County grounds across England, the sight of an Indian XI taking the field was a quiet statement that the colonised could compete with the coloniser, at least on the cricket pitch.Critics pointed to their patchy fielding, their uneven fitness, their inexperience. But back home, these men were heroes.In the grand story of Indian cricket, 1911 is often a footnote, overshadowed by later triumphs.
		+
		+	But it was this tour that sowed the seeds. Two decades later, India would play their first Test in 1932. A century on, India would rule the cricketing world.But it all began with that summer voyage, when eleven Indians first wore their whites in the land of the Empire.

+It’s a pity there is no official record of that mad game in Peshawar in Dec 1989. Bad light ensured that an ODI was converted to a 20-over exhibition match. A T20, a decade and a half before T20 was formally invented. Tendulkar, all of 16, walked in when India needed 69 runs from five overs to chase down Pakistan’s 157. He smashed Mushtaq Ahmed for two sixes, which prompted legendary Pakistani leggie Abdul Qadir to slip in the now-infamous barb, “Bachchon ko kyon mar rahe ho? Hamein bhi maar ke dikhao (why are you hitting kids? Hit my deliveries and show me).” The 16-year-old obliged, hitting Qadir for 6, 0, 4, 6, 6, 6. Tendulkar ended up with an 18-ball 53 and became the mood barometer of a cricket-mad nation for the next 25 years.

+ Stories of a young Punjab southpaw depositing balls from Churchgate’s Oval maidan onto the streets had already started doing the rounds in Mumbai when he was training at the Vengsarkar academy. Yuvraj Singh, 18, son of former India pacer Yograj Singh, was a star of India’s victorious U-19 WC campaign in Sri Lanka, and made it to the Indian team. In the ICC KnockOut quarterfinal against Australia in Nairobi, he entered with India in trouble at 90/3. The power and punch that he generated while playing off the backfoot to pacers like Glenn McGrath, Brett Lee and Jason Gillespie left spectators awestruck. Yuvraj went on to become a great in white-ball cricket.

		+
		+	Adelaide : In keeping with the Sunday spirit here — all business is closed by 5 pm in the Adelaide CBD — India shut shop in the morning session itself on Day Three to hand Australia a 10-wicket win in the second Test.
		+
		+	The result was not entirely unexpected coming into this day-night Test, given India’s relative inexperience playing pink-ball games, and the victory margin is a fair reflection of Australia’s superiority in these conditions.
		+
		+	Nevertheless, that this is the shortest completed Test between these two teams in terms of balls — it was all over in 1031 deliveries, beating the Indore record of 1135 balls — indicates India have offered up a perfect case study in how to scramble the winnability of a unit. Their incredible 295-run comeback win in Perth is now history, its first-mover advantage frittered away. The backs are to the wall again in this five-game series.
		+
		+	Australia came into this game reviled by their own supporters and a vitriolic media, their captain battling allegations of having ‘gone soft’. Pat Cummins rode high on a five-wicket haul in the second innings and some astute marshalling of his superior bowling resources. Scott Boland’s entry added punch to the pace lineup. The combative local hero Travis Head scored a game-changing ton. The determined Marnus Labuschagne, who had a point or two of his own to prove, provided the support act. Head’s verbal volleying with Mohammed Siraj provided the melodrama.
		+
		+	The game lasted only two days and a session but broke attendance records here, with a total of 1,35,012 spectators turning up. Pink-ball games may be short, but they do fill the local coffers.
		+
		+	In the other corner, this was Rohit Sharma’s fourth consecutive Test defeat as captain. Coupled with a horror run of personal batting form which seems to be playing on his mind, India have their work cut out heading into the third Test in Brisbane. They have also slipped to No. 3 in the World Test Championship ranks and their dream of qualifying for that WTC final on their own steam now becomes doubly difficult.
		+
		+	First, though, there is pride at stake here. The morning began with promises of another Rishabh Pant special, given his audacious attempts to take the fight to the Aussies on the second night. By the time it was all over barely two hours later, many departing Aussie fans — who may have gone berserk at the beer counters in anticipation of an early finish — were hurling the choicest abuses at anyone in an Indian jersey.
		+
		+	Pant lasted only till the sixth ball of Mitchell Starc’s first over of the day. He gave the second delivery the charge and a wild heave and missed. By the fifth ball, the nerves appeared to be settling, and he resisted poking outside off. The sixth ball was another piece of Starc magic, simply too good for Pant — fuller, angling in and straightening off the seam to kiss the bat’s edge and fly to the ’keeper.
		+
		+	India knew the game had been lost right there, though Nitish Reddy — who is so far the highest scor- er in each of India’s completed innings on this tour — hung on grimly, even showcasing his 360-degree strokeplay, but a barrage of short stuff from Cummins had the final say.
		+	India lasted only 11.5 overs on the third morning in a second innings lasting 36.5 overs, in which they went at 4.75 runs per over when the need of the hour may have been to wear the bowlers down. That left Australia’s openers only 19 runs to chase, and there was to be no further drama.
		+
		+	“This week we were back at our best,” a satisfied Cummins said. “This is the kind of team that I remember and how we want to play our cricket. It’s great to have Travis Head in the side. Every time he walks in, it’s like the match is in the balance and in the space of a few sessions he took the game out of their hands.”
		+
		+	''' ‘We were not good enough with bat’ '''
		+
		+	As for India, Jasprit Bumrah lacked pace support but the immediate concern for Rohit Sharma is the batting unit’s fallibility. “I wouldn’t say it’s lack of experience with the pink ball (that cost us). When you come to Australia you have to play a pink-ball Test. The best chance of winning here is to put runs on the board. The disappointing bit is that we didn’t bat well enough,” Rohit said.
		+
		+	“I wouldn’t say I’m worried. If you take the last five or six matches, we haven’t batted well enough, but when we play in India the high-scoring games are not going to happen (because of the turning pitches). Abroad, the conditions are there (to bat long). There’s been a lot of conversation around that. We want to battle it out, stay out there.

−	~~Dubai : The batters could not capitalise on the good job done by the bowlers as India suffered a massive 59-run defeat to Bangladesh in the lowscoring U19 Asia Cup title clash.~~
−
−	After India produced a fine performance with the ball to keep Bangladesh to a mere 198 in 49.1 overs, it looked like the job was half done since the batters had played their roles to perfection since the defeat in the tournament-opener to Pakistan. However, in the crunch final, India lost wickets in a flurry on two occasions which broke the back of their chase, as Bangladesh bowlers and fielders rose up to the occasion.
−
−	Chasing 199, India were bundled out for 139 in 35.2 overs as none of their spe- cialist batters could play an impactful knock, including the youngest IPL star Vaibhav Suryavanshi who managed a mere 9 off 7 balls.
−
−	India suffered early blows in the form of Suryavanshi and Ayush Mhatre (1) to stumble to 24 for two inside five overs. With the summit clash placed precariously, Bangladesh edged ahead by keeping the rest of the Indian batters largely quiet, drying up the boundaries and also the singles. It was Iqbal Hossain Emon who made the most of the situation as he snaffled three vital wickets to severely dent India's hopes. PTI
−
−	Brief scores: Bangladesh: 198 all out in 49.1 overs (Rizan Hossan 47, Mohammad Shihab James 40; Yudhajit Guha 2/29, Hardik Raj 2/41) beat India: 139 all out in 35.2 overs (Mohamed Amaan 26, Hardik Raj 24; Iqbal Hossain Emon 3/24 ) by 59 runs.
