Remember watching Minor Counties v India there. Prob 71 or 72?

Farokh Engineer opened for India and I think scored a century. Memory banks not 100% certain. Think the spinners Venkatragaven and Chandresaka also played for India in the match but again can't be sure as slightly lost in the mists of time.

I left Norwich in the mid 80's. Such a shame Lakenham has gone....
