This is a big moment for No Balls Cricket: our first-ever interview with a cricketer! Sid's dad, Dr. Suchetan Pradhan (who, it should be noted, is our chief sponsor – or, to be more accurate, head dentist at our chief sponsor, Pradhan Dental Centre) does a bang-up job as a stand-in journalist. Our newfound in-house expert on 1970s and 80s Indian cricket has earned an official No Balls Cricket nickname, the "Indian Tony Cozier". 

But enough about Sid's dad. Our guest today is the legendary Mohinder Amarnath, a Test batting great known for his exploits against the fearsome West Indies fast bowlers, as well as being the man of the match in both the semi-final and the final of 1983 World Cup. Jimmy Uncle, as he's affectionately known, is also a close family friend of the Pradhans, and Sid's first-ever cricket coach. If Sid starts winning matches for the University of Manchester, they know who to thank. 

The two Dr. Pradhans caught up with Mohinder Amarnath in Goa over the winter. Without further ado, here's part one of our interview.
