I think grew up in Fitzroy and was a Melbourne local who ended up in India and ended up in England for a lot of his life.

But he fostered this relationship between Indian cricket and Australian cricket and brought over a team that had a lot of former Australian players and other top-level players that played against an Indian team.

It's not an official test, but it is the first contact, and a lot of the historians really believe that Frank Tarrant is the father of the Australian-Indian connection.

But the first test that Australia ever played against India was in Australia, the first test, 47-48.
