August 31, 1938. A landmark day in the history of Indian cricket which no one remembers. The champion all-rounder Amar Singh was drafted from Lancashire League cricket to take on the might of the visiting Australians in a First-Class game and brought the visitors down on their knees. Arunabha Sengupta remembers the fantastic feat of fast bowling that is never recounted in the pages of history of Indian cricket.
