One of the first r eferences to a touring Indian cricket side was in 1889: 'Perhaps the most notabl e feature of the tour was the wonderfully successful bowing of Mr Pavri, who too k 170 wickets at a cost of under 12 runs each'.For a time, India enjoyed a golden age of cricket, largely through Lord Hawke's tours in the 1890s and the n buoyed up by the exploits of Kumar Shri Ranjitsinhji who was chosen as a Wisde n Cricketer of the Year in 1897. But there were set-backs to come, such as the t eam's 1953 'Worst Start in Test Cricket' which saw Trueman scythe through their top order at Headingley to leave the team in disrepair at 0 for 4 wickets after 14 balls. Recent decades have seen formidable players such as Ganguly, Laxman, S ehway, Dravid and Tendulkar lift India's game to great heights, making them a fo rce to be reckoned with.This anthology charts the progress of India throu gh Wisden's pages, using match reports, articles, notes, obituaries and illustra tions to bring this extraordinary team - and their equally extraordinary nation - to vivid and delightful life.…
