In test Matches

In his first test innings, in Oct. 1969, Roy scored 48 against NZ, at Nagpur. This score included ten boundaries.[1] He did not score well in subsequent matches, and after poor scores against Australia at Delhi & Kolkata, later in the season, he was dropped. In his final test match, at his home ground Kolkata, he scored 18 & 19.[2]

gollark: Oh neat, HP G8 servers are actually affordable now.
gollark: The RK3588 is actually performance-competitive with my server according to available benchmarks, which is *extremely*.
gollark: I intend to eventually replace it with an RK3588 board, if I can keep the drives hooked up somehow.
