<p>September 22, 1986 was an unforgettable day for me when we tied the Madras Test against Kapil Dev's Indians. The target of 348 which our skipper Allan Border set for India was a sizeable one but we knew India were a talented side while we just wanted to win the Test match. That is why AB (Border) declared at 170 for 5</p>

Like in this Test, the climate was humid, I remember in the lead up to the game, our guys had their boots dripping wet and batting lovers wouldn't last one net session. The humidity was enormous.
