There is no way to completely fail unless you completely quit.

Not in hindsight, but I wanted Wadhera ahead of Tilak in the XI.

If India wins, it will merit a party that never ends. #T20WorldCup2024

Ollie Robinson is a skilful bowler, almost* as skilful as the 700-wicket-man.

But his fitness????🙏🙏🙏🙏

Should have had Vyshak instead of Dayal, which would have had Siraj taking the new ball.

Ashutosh Sharma, pride of Ratlam, now plying his trade for Punjab. Go well bro!

Dhoni for the World Cup. Anyone?

Question for #crickettwitter
Who's the most qualified Indian cricketer till date ??
Abhishek Mukherjee Kausthub Gudipati
The Cricket Philosopher

Ankit mera jigri yaar. Met him 4 times in my life but he is so nice yaaaaaaaaaar. kya baaat. I hope that everything works out for him. bahot wholesome insaan.

Back foot trigger. If South Africa have studied him, you expect enough deliveries on the fuller side on quicker decks.

Tempting the drive from say over the wicket, mixed with the occasional inswinger. Have a gully in place too.

And then it is for Jaisawal to find a way.

Bowl out Bumrah with Coetzee, and hope they get Klassen by playing with this ego, warna jo hoga dekha nahi jayega.

I'd like to see how Ishan Kishan responds to the challenges which Rashid Khan and Sai Kishore provide him, if he plays them well I think he should be in the flight to the Caribbean.

I hope they scrap this impact player rule soon. But then, the IPL isn't known for sensible things.

On Control Percentage

It’s nice to see people talking about control percentage when discussing cricket. The control data tells you, for every ball, whether a batter was in control or not. It is a good indicator of how a batter or a bowler performed. (1/n)

Agony for Andhra Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh is delighted , they reach the Semis . Andhra is livid with themselves , they again miss a berth in the semi final.

A crazy couple of days for me , I met Chetan Sharma 2 times , Vivek Razdan and WV Raman . It Will take time to sink this.

AS A SPECTATOR of Women's Cricket :

Everyday an average women's cricket fan comes across trolls who regurgitate the same line. It is boring, not as fast as men, even a 15 yo boy can defeat them. They can't hit sixes, look how slow they bowl etc.

I don't really blame them.
