In the 70's we Mysoreans who were interested in cricket would congregate at this ground, or the Maharaja's, or the J K Grounds to watch such internaitonal cricketers as your own relative B S Chandrashekar, Errapalli Prasanna, Gundappa Viswanath, Brijesh Patel, V S Vijaykumar, Raghunath (?) etc. We had the privilege of watching them play at close quarters. They had no ego and were very respectful to the merits of the local players like Vijayprakash, Ballal, Seishwar, Pabhakar, Venkatasubbiah etc. There was no Tv those days. And so there used to be invariably a big crowd in those grounds whenever there were 'A' division league matches. Ah! Those were indeed exciting days.<br /><br />Then it was turned into an athletic ground. I remember Shiny Abraham taking part in the Dasara meet.<br /><br />That was a nice blog, Dinu!

What a wonder...I am smiling big time as I sit here. What a wonderful post, Dinu. Now I'm actually laughing! Hey, we take our wins where and when we can find them, right? At least this is a race that no one . . . . lost! No one behind you on that dark track to lament your win! The Perfect Race!!!!<br />We, too, have a track near our home - though not as grand as yours, I admit. I go there sometimes to walk that track and think my own thoughts. Oh, I can relate to this wonderful post, friend! Bravo! Thanks for the smiles!! <br />Susan Hirneise Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814835923673867388noreply@blogger.com
