Dileepsinhji figured only ns ■ twelfth n an in the first test at Trent Bridge in 1930, and on the second niorn- ' ing, before plav, his Sussex colleague, Maurice Tait, told me he intended to get him noticed. So he signalled from the Grid for his sweater, and the ova- * tion accorded to the young Indian was « the loudest in the match. Probably, « too, this was the first time that a • princij hs;d served a cricket urofes- « stonal.
