Parsee cricket team in England in 1888
The Parsees〔 made their second tour of England in 1888. The fifteen member team played mostly against amateur teams and was more successful than the tourists of 1886.
==The tour==
The second Parsee team played 31 matches, winning 8 and losing 11, a considerable improvement upon the performance of the 1886 team which won only one out of 28. As in the previous tour, none of the matches are deemed first class. The tour was arranged by Pestonji Kanga, D.C. Pandole and J.M. Divecha. The outstanding success of the tour was Mehellasha Pavri who some consider as the first great Indian cricketer.〔See for instance, Raiji, p. 92 : "If the word 'great' is used a bit generously, Dr ME Pavri could be described as India's first great cricketer" and Bose, p.25 : "He was without doubt the first great Indian cricketer". But this is by no means a unanimous opinion〕 A fast round-arm bowler, he took 170 wickets at an average of 11.66. At Eastbourne, he is said to have sent a bail flying nearly 50 yards, and at Norfolk when he uprooted a stump, it flew nine yards and pitched itself the right way up. Cooper who scored 952 runs at 18.30 topped the run aggregate. The tour saw the first appearance of players like Dinshaw Writer and Nasarvanji Bapasola who were to earn prominence in the 1890s.
Against the Gentlemen of Eastbourne, Parsees were made to follow-on and led by 122 in the second innings. But Pavri claimed six wickets and Eastbourne was bowled out for 56. At Scarborough, the opponents who needed four runs to win in the last half hour were restricted to just three. The tour started on 7 June and ended on 13 September.
