Lot Details
Including: Sunil Gavaskar, Ajit Wadekar, G Viswanath, B Chandrasekhar, Madan Lal, F Engineer, Geoff Boycott, Mike Denness, John Edrich, Dennis Amiss, Derek Underwood India toured England for a three-Test series plus two ODIs, captained by Ajit Wadekar against England's Mike Denness. It's remembered as a disastrous tour for India — a whitewash accompanied by internal team rows. Test series (3 Tests): England won 3–0. 1st Test, Old Trafford (6–11 June): England won by 113 runs (ENG 328/9d & 213/3d vs IND 246 & 182). 2nd Test, Lord's (20–24 June): England won by an innings and 285 runs — one of the heaviest defeats in Test history. England piled up 629 (Dennis Amiss 188, Mike Denness 118), bowled India out for 302, then enforced the follow-on and skittled them for just 42 in 17 overs (Chris Old 5/21, Geoff Arnold 4/19). 3rd Test, Edgbaston (4–8 July): England won by an innings and 78 runs. David Lloyd made a career-best 214, and Mike Denness added another century (100) as England declared on 459/2. Leading performances: Dennis Amiss was the standout run-scorer, with twin near-double-centuries at Lord's (188). Mike Denness scored centuries in consecutive Tests (118 at Lord's, 100 at Edgbaston) while captaining the side. David Lloyd's 214 at Edgbaston was the highlight of the series with the bat. Chris Old was outstanding with the ball, including a five-wicket haul (5/21) that helped bowl out India for 42 at Lord's. For India, Farokh Engineer was arguably their best performer, with useful runs across the series (86 at Lord's, 64 in the ODI series). ODI series (2 matches, Prudential Trophy): England won both — by 4 wickets at Headingley and 6 wickets at The Oval — completing a clean sweep across the whole tour. India's 42 all out at Lord's remains one of the most infamous batting collapses in Test cricket.
