Former India batter Sanjay Manjrekar has credited ex-India captain Dilip Vengsarkar for fighting with the selectors to pick him in India’s squad for the 1988-89 West Indies tour.

At the launch of the book A Legend with Difference, written by Vengsarkar’s King George High School teammate Sanjay Satam, at the MCA-BKC academy on Wednesday, Manjrekar, who was India’s top-scorer in that series with 200 runs, revealed that he was the squad’s 17th player. ipl-cricket.in

“My first selection for India was when he [Vengsarkar] was the captain on the 1989 tour of West Indies. We were in Hyderabad and the selection meeting went on for two hours and we were all in our rooms waiting for the good news as we were all on the fringe of playing for India. And I remember Dilip came in and said: ‘There’s too much tension and stress in the selection meeting’. The greatest stress for him was to get me in the team. He got a lot of resistance from the selectors, saying that I [Manjrekar] was not ready don’t deserve to be here, but Dilip put his foot down and kept fighting, and I was the 17th member picked on that tour of the West Indies,” said Manjrekar, who went on to score an impressive 108 in the second Test at Bridgetown in April 1989, facing up to legendary pacers like Malcolm Marshall, Curtly Ambrose, Ian Bishop and Courtney Walsh.

Manjrekar, 60, also recalled how he, Vengsarkar and a young Sachin Tendulkar had fun despite their big age difference. He said: “Despite the age gap and the stature gap as well, we were buddies. And I find it remarkable on that tour of New Zealand, I think 1990, when three generations of players, Dilip, myself, I think there was a [age] difference of about seven-eight years, and Sachin Tendulkar another six-seven years, the three of us hung around together. We were always there together and having fun. Dilip was the captain on one particular tour, but would hang with us and it was amazing that a guy who is already 100 Test matches old, found time and had the humility to be with people like us.”

Meanwhile, Vengsarkar, a veteran of 116 Tests, who is also a former national chief selector, was asked if the emphasis on domestic cricket should be stronger. “Yes, it’s very important, because all those players playing domestic cricket have that dream of playing for the country. So, if they do well, then they should be picked. I believe form and fitness are very important. If you’re in form and if you’re fit, then you should be picked at that point of time, na pehle na baad mein [neither before nor after]. And after a year or so, a player might lose interest, or he might lose his form and fitness. Picking them at that time would be stupidity,” Vengsarkar said.

In what was the start of the 150th Test match at the Lord’s, England and New Zealand produced another Lord’s classic on the opening day of the first Test. With 16 wickets falling in a wildly entertaining contest that swung repeatedly before England emerged firmly on top.

By stumps, New Zealand were struggling at 61/6, still trailing England’s first-innings total of 140 by 79 runs. While Harry Brook’s fighting half-century had rescued England earlier in the day, it was Ollie Robinson’s sensational return to Test cricket that completely changed the mood at Lord’s.

England’s batting collapse as Jamieson shines

England’s innings never really started after New Zealand captain Tom Latham opted to bowl first under overcast skies. Debutant Emiliano Gay looked good with his twin boundaries but was the first wicket to fall at 16/1.

The visitors struck regularly, with Kyle Jamieson reminding everyone why he remains one of the most dangerous red-ball bowlers in the world. Returning to Test cricket after a long injury layoff, the tall pacer claimed 5/62 and earned a place on the Lord’s honours board.

The hosts collapsed from 31/1 to 55/5, with Joe Root, Ben Duckett, Jacob Bethell and Jamie Smith all falling cheaply. Root managed just one run before Will O’Rourke produced a beauty that climbed sharply and found the edge.

Amid the chaos, once again everything relied on Harry Brook. After surviving an early chance, he counterattacked in typical fashion, smashing 56 from 64 balls with nine boundaries. His knock ensured England reached 140, a total that initially looked below par but later appeared far more competitive.

Ollie Robinson, you beauty

New Zealand’s reply began disastrously.

Ollie Robinson, playing his first Test in more than two years, produced one of the most memorable opening overs seen at Lord’s in recent times. He removed Devon Conway and Kane Williamson before trapping Rachin Ravindra lbw, leaving New Zealand stunned at 0/3.

The collapse only deepened. Gus Atkinson dismissed Tom Latham, Robinson bowled Daryl Mitchell and Josh Tongue cleaned up Tom Blundell as New Zealand crashed to 29/6.

At one stage, the visitors looked in danger of being bowled out before stumps. Glenn Phillips provided some resistance with an unbeaten 31 off 34 balls, but England’s bowlers remained relentless throughout the evening session.

While Jamieson’s five-wicket haul had earlier put New Zealand in a commanding position, Robinson’s remarkable spell of 4/10 ensured England finished the day with the upper hand. Now, the Kiwis still trail by 79 runs, while England need four wickets in quick time to gain a first-innings lead.
