A little quiz
Quick trivia question (checking cricket record books or online archives not allowed): Who was India's captain the last time India won a test in New Zealand? And what was interesting about his being captain?
Strange to think its taken 33 years to win another test in New Zealand. A good start, now to be kept up.

I think Manzoor Ali Khan Pataudi. (I didn't check the records, touch wood!)
What was special? No idea.. He has one eye, he got booked for hunting deer ;).
Gavaskar in 75-76. Wasnt Bedi the captain for the rest of the series though?
Homer, as is often the case, is right.

Homer: Thats right. It was Gavaskar, he was a stand-in, and it was his first test as captain. And he scored a ton!
And later in that series (3rd test) Bedi spent the 3rd day of the tet in hospital from hypothermia (?sp)
