And today is 36 years since the great man picked up his 400th test wicket at his home ground of Lancaster Park.

Not a bad Indian team. Kapil Dev there, Mohammad Azharuddin was an excellent player, Sidhu a big hitter and a young Sachin Tendulkar ( and I mean young, just shy of seventeen years old ! )

Huge innings from John Wright with some useful support. Paddles with just the seven wickets for the match but what an achievement to be the first to 400. I loved that they sent out Morrison ( fresh from a five fer ) and Snedden ( who also bowled well ) to get the two runs needed for victory. First time in history two night watchmen have gone out to open ?

and Ken Rutherford was our allrounder? geez, I didn't even know he had ever bowled

Can't have happened:

• Sachin out first ball (impossible)
• a team enforced the follow-on (illegal)
