Reflections on Baloo
A few former players react on Baloo Gupte’s demise:
Nari Contractor under whom Baloo made his test debut:
Baloo was born at the wrong time when there were others like his own elder brother Subhas. And when he got the chance to play for India, he did not perform well.
Bapu Nadkarni:
He used to turn the ball bigger than Subhas but paled in comparison as far as flight and accuracy were concerned. Baloo was one of those cricketers who underperformed at the Test level.
In Indian Tennis, the WTA supervisor seemed satisfied with the Netaji Indoor Stadium. Telegraph Calcutta also reports Myskina, Petrova and Pierce may come to play. I will definitely have my camera and autograph book ready then!
