1988: THIS DAY, THAT YEAR

A dream debut for 19-year-old Indian legspinner Narendra Hirwani. He bowled his side to a series-levelling victory over West Indies in Madras with eight wickets in each innings, and his match figures of 16 for 136 surpassed the previous best on debut - Australian Bob Massie's 16 at Lord's in 1972 - by one run. Hirwani took full advantage of West Indies' horribly onedimensional attempts to smear him out of the attack: five were out stumped by Kiran More in the second innings, and six in the match, both Test records.
