Good Evening, Ms "labelle" & "spam" ... & Other FH Evening Rangers!

Good Bye GSR!

News of G S Ramchand’s death at the age of 75 brought back memories of evenings spent in Bangkok in his company way back in January 1978, while touring abroad with the Hyderabad Blues team led by M L Jaisimha. That was when I realised that I was in the company of one of India’s much liked captains, who was also a wonderful person. With me were two celebrated former captains in Jaisimha and Ajit Wadekar, and they both confirmed that ‘Ram’ had indeed been a special leader of men. ...
* Ramchand was known for his powerful batting and more than useful medium pace bowling. His 109 at Bombay against Australia was highly rated, made as it was with wickets tumbling all around him. His finest moment in Test cricket was when he led India to a surprise win over the touring Australians at Kanpur in 1960, marshalling his bowling resources quite superbly. While his trump card was Jasu Patel, an off spinner with a suspect action who finished with 14 wickets in the match, he made the best use of Polly Umrigar and himself.

* The Ramchands were perfect hosts. One evening on that tour, after treating us to some top class singing by Ram’s sister-in-law, a well known ghazal singer, they took us (Jaisimha, Wadekar and Murtuza, younger brother of Abbas Ali Baig were among the guests) to a Thai restaurant for dinner. The highlight of the evening was the robust singing by Jai who took the mike from the beautiful singer of the hotel and filled in admirably with his rendering of old Frank Sinatra numbers.

* Ramchand regaled us with hilarious stories from India’s cricketdom, narrating the ups and downs of his own career without a trace of self pity.

* Story after story was told that evening, raising bigger and bigger laughs all the time. Many of them involved cricketers and cricket administrators and not all of them were flattering to them. What came through them all was a singular lack of malice in the narrator, who treated every member of his audience with affection and warmth. To me, it was interesting to see that the tough, gutsy fighter I had watched from a distance, was in real life, a polished, dapper gentleman with a keen sense of humour, excellent taste and a genuine interest in people. He was every bit worthy of my captain’s respect.
