149 wickets in 36 tests at more than 4 wickets per test is ample testimony of the class and guile of Gupte...
The artticle is very good but considering that ther test is at Green Park Kanpur, the article should also have referenced to two other great spells of bowling at the ground :
1) Jasu Patel taking 14 for 124 against Benaud's Aussies in 1959 and helping india win a memorable match..
2) 1983 West Indies tour of India, where Malcolm Marshall bowling a frightening spell on the 2nd evening, getting Sunny Gavaskar out for a 2nd ball duck, Mohinder for a 1st ball duck and reducing India to 34 for 5..... That is the most frightening and express pace spell of fast bowling i have ever seen in my life!!
I'll always associate these 2 spells of bowling with the legendary Green Park at Kanpur!!
RE:Subhash Gupte was up there with the very best!!
