The Spin has a half-baked theory that any decent weekly cricket email should be able to write an interesting – OK, mildly diverting – article on any match or tournament in international cricket history. There are always stories, details, quotes and, if you’re really desperate, hardcore statistical oddities that bring a historical match to life.
There are plenty who would argue that our output over the past 15 years is ample evidence against that theory, but we’re going to test it again. There’s nothing much going on in the cricket world this week, so we’ve decided to celebrate the uncelebratable. Yep, it’s the 30th anniversary of the Nehru Cup.
