Anthony de Mello was an interesting character. Highlights of his wiki page are:

De Mello courted controversy later in his career (in 1951; reviewing his time as the BCCI President, The Times of India called him a 'dictator').
When in 1949, De Mello came up with serious allegations against the Indian captain Lala Amarnath, the 'Bengal lobby' had strongly supported Amarnath.[9] Amarnath threatened to sue the board for one lakh rupees but the matter was then settled with Amarnath tendering a qualified apology to the board
De Mello's cricket career as a medium pace bowler was rather inconspicuous. Duleepsinhji once dismissed him as one 'who thinks he is a bowler but has never found anyone to agree with him on that point.'

Perfect for a series against England, no? :p

Thought India were gonna run away with it. Now you could make a semi-decent case England are favourites.

Tbey need to get Sharma in the first half hour after tea.

He’s not a test player’s arsehole generally but he looks good here with only 1.5 quicks to face and nothing on the ball
