India`s very first Fab Four

India`s very first Fab Four

Ian Chappell, one of the best players of spin bowling, reckoned that his cricketing education was completed on the 1969-70 tour of India as he had to take on the spin bowlers at their peak.

Chappell said that if the body had to show tremendous reflexes in trying to negotiate a fast bowler, the brain was working overtime in trying to tackle the famed Indian spinners. They had so many ideas, so many variations that the batsman was at his wit’s end in trying to just see off an over successfully.

Bishen Bedi, Erapalli Prasanna, Srinivas Venkatraghavan and Bhagwat Chandrasekhar took 853 wickets between them. For most of the time they played for India, the new ball attack was a farce and it was not uncommon to see Bedi start warm-up exercises in the field even as the second over of the innings was being bowled. After all he would be bowling the next!
