Bengaluru Sandlot Cricket

I wonder if G R Vishwanath or Rahul Dravid began their illustrious careers on this, or a similar, dusty space. Or was my grandfather brought here as a babe in arms as a spectator in 1883? Make no mistake - this was a serious match, with a crowd of spectators who brought their own chairs, a proper scorebook being scrupulously kept and even a water-cooler set up. Something worthwhile left by the Raj?
