M.C.C. (England) v Combined Universities and Under 22 XI
Nagpur, Jan 8, 9, 10 1977. MCC won by 143 runs

Their first win of the tour outside the Test series. A slow, bare
pitch,  which  yielded  an increasing amount of turn as the match
progressed, proved too much for  the  young, inexperienced   home
side.  M.C.C.  themselves were hard put to make runs, even on the
first day. Brearley (76) alone showed his authority and even that
late  in the innings. Most of the wickets on both sides were cap-
tured by the spinners. Cope took nine, including six in the first
innings,  and  Miller  took four in the second. Dharmaj Jadeja, a
left-arm spinner, claimed four while M.C.C. went for runs in  the
second  innings.  Although  less successful, his brother Rajendra
Jadeja, a seam bowler, also performed creditably.
