Burdett will come to India again in March to conduct seminars. He remembers Bishan Bedi’s mesmerising spell in 1977-78 here to India’s maddening 1987 defeat in a World Cup match in Kolkata, where he had prepared the wicket, and the last victory here. “Cricket in India is a religion, and I love that fascination people have for the game. I remember how people got emotional when India lost to England in that 1987 semi-final.”
There are thundershowers expected on the first day of the Test, but generally sunny conditions for rest of the match with temperatures in the mid-thirties. Burdett is sure that this Test will be a cracker of a match and a befitting finale for this series.
