Test Player

 

Profile:

 

Perhaps the first outstanding Indian wicketkeeper, `Khokhan' Sen went to Australia as understudy to JK Irani but fine performances on the tour saw him make his Test debut midway through the series. From then on he remained the first choice Indian wicketkeeper for five years. Despite his stocky build, Sen was extremely agile and brought off a number of smart catches or lightning fast stumpings which did a lot to boost the morale of the bowlers. He first made his presence felt when he brought off four catches and let through only four byes when Australia scored 575 for eight declared at Melbourne in 1948. He played in all the five Tests against West Indies in 1948-49. In the early fifties he warded off competition from `Nana' Joshi and Madhav Mantri and had his finest moment in the final Test against England at Madras in 1951-52. Sen played a notable part in the historic victory, bringing of five stumpings, all off Vinoo Mankad, four of them in the first innings. He toured England in 1952, sharing the Test duties with Mantri and kept wickets in two more Tests against Pakistan in 1952-53 before losing his place, though he played in one unofficial `Test' against the SJOC team in 1953-54.

 

A useful late order batsman, Sen also occasionally loved to turn his arm over. In 1954-55 in a Ranji Trophy game against Orissa he handed over his gloves to a teammate, took the ball and promptly performed a hat- trick. In a 15-year first class career, Sen scored 2580 runs (23.24) with three centuries. He also effected 143 dismissals, 107 of them caught. In the Ranji Trophy, he scored 1796 runs (30.44). A character whose exuberence was infectious, Sen died suddenly after a heart attack, following a day's cricket at Calcutta. (Partab Ramchand)

Test Player

 

Profile:

Picked to play his first Test in his hometown of Calcutta in his 30th year, `Montu' Banerjee, a brisk right arm medium pacer relished the familiar conditions and took four for 120 and one for 61, bowling 51 overs in all. In his first spell he dismissed Allan Rae for 15 and D.Atkinson for zero. In a later spell he got the wickets of Christiani and Cameron. In the second innings also he struck early removing Carew. He also held a couple of catches to complete an impressive debut and it was rather surprising that he never got another chance at the international level. In a first class career that lasted from 1941 to 1954, Banerjee took 92 wickets (23.28).(Partab Ramchand)

Bengalis playing excellent football

I was determined to make the best of it here in Calcutta, which I was beginning to call my second home, visiting the cinema, the various service clubs, watching cricket matches at the Eden Gardens cricket ground, watching the Bengalis playing excellent football in their bare feet on the "Maidan", bargaining with locals in the Bazaars, etc., etc.
