This is so tough to listen to. Not saying whether he should have been picked or not, but you can hear the pain in his father's voice. While it's an emotional interview for obvious reasons, it's not one without facts. It's not only anger. The way he reels off one stat after

I just came across this crazy anecdote in a book. Some coincidence.

Have read this about Azharuddin somewhere also. Can't remember where though. Couldn't find anything about this on the web though. Would anyone know if this is true? Rameses Kartik

Brilliant photo!

Jonty Rhodes wasn't just a livewire on the field but also an uplifting presence in the dressing room which often fed off his energy. Paddy Upton in his book recalls a very poignant Jonty Rhodes in the dressing room moment. He doesn't tell about the exact match (Could be Boxing

Cricket Twitter - Need some help. Anyone from Nagpur? One of my friends wants to enroll his kid in this academy. Would appreciate some review/feedback about this place. Thanks in advance. Please RT and amplify if possible.
