Disaster in England: The Infamous 1936 India Tour
Indian Cricket History (India Tour Of England 1936) - The 1936 tour was one of the disastrous in the history of Indian cricket. India were led by the Maharajkumar of Vizianagram, popularly known as Vizzy. He was an ordinary cricketer who batted at No. 9 and did not bowl or keep wickets; he scored only 33 runs. He once bribed an opposition captain with a gold watch and asked him to bowl full-tosses and long-hops.
Vizzy had played out a convoluted political scheme to perfection to get himself appointed captain. Jack Brittain-Jones, close to Vizzy, was the manager. Vizzy arrived in England with thirty-six pieces of luggage and two servants.
