India's chief selector Sandeep Patil went into rewind mode the other day at Shivaji Park Gymkhana (SPG), a venue that Patil graced to attend the launch of the SPG academy.

Patil spoke on how it was important to have a sense of loyalty while playing for one's club. He bemoaned the fact that today's players move from one club to another at the drop of a hat. Then came a revelation. Patil said he rated the century before lunch he scored for Shivaji Park Youngsters against Navroze CC in 1975 higher than his four Test hundreds.
