been witness to an amazing counterattacking innings by Travis Head, that could define the tone of this #Ashes along with Mitch Starc's bowling performance. take a bow ! #cricket

Courtesy of Shounak So England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 set new records as Stokes promised. 1) 1st time a team has lost a Test after batting first at Optus Stadium 2) 2nd shortest Ashes innings in history (after 1887) - England’s 1st innings 3) Quite possibly the first 2 Day Test in Perth

Low mean but very small deviation from the mean.. bodes well for future innings . 😉

What a mammoth effort from Greaves ! a double ton from a WI batter after a long long time .. This has been a Hope-Greaves show with good support from Roach. Henry's injury not helping NZ, but it doesn't take away from the WI effort.. a huge moral win for them.. #cricket

This man is now etched in the history books. Kudos 👏 what a knock Justin Greaves, never forget

Now Latham, the NZ skipper, offers the West Indians a handshake AFTER Greaves crosses 200.. very sporting to wait until then. That is how it's done England.. pls take note.. #cricket #NZvsWI

Another record added to the list.. Eng skipper's woes continue.. this is why one should be measured in their responses in press interviews and not say something like this until after the series is wrapped up.

surely he's joking.. surely.. "trained too much".. of all the ridiculous excuses, i never thought it would come to this . Eng clearly take the cake when it comes to excuses.

there is no need for a penalty. there is a law in place that allows for the bowler to run out a non-striker.. use the damn law ! get off your fricking high horse abt this dumbass "spirit of the game" and start running out non strikers. foxsports.com.au/cricket/batter…

Grateful to be invited on The Cricket Slouch along with Sandeep and Shounak! Pls give it a listen and do follow this excellent podcast! open.spotify.com/episode/60Gila…

Loved the Hindi-English interplay and flow.. didn't realise Ajit was so fluent in Hindi, "mahatvapoorna" and all that also "aap ne to Gambhir ki laga di".. Best sentence in an opening sequence. Ever ! 🤣🤣

Should be another fantastic listen !

Much to learn, we have .

Great to be a part of the The Cricket Slouch's latest episode along with the host SP, Shounak and Sandeep! #Ashes2025 #NZvWI #Tests Do give it a listen: open.spotify.com/episode/1DRFAp…

I like how V Manjunath is wise to add context to the use of words.. Words inherently do not convey prejudice, it is the intent behind it. and he was right to put Shukri's recent use of "grovel" in the right context. . definitely wasn't the same as Greig's.

Terrible news this. Was talking to a friend only on Sunday about how Damien Martyn was one of the best and most attractive stroke makers since the 90s. Wishing him a speedy recovery 🙏🏾

Should be a great one to listen to.. once this bushfire gets back under control.. priorities.. sigh..

From 'what went wrong' to 'what happened'. A conversation with the brilliant Karthik Krishnaswamy (Karthik Krishnaswamy) on writing cricket without blame — understanding decisions, trade-offs, and context. 🎥 Full conversation: youtu.be/MqmTYBQNwUM

Due to some logistical issues, this episode is a couple of days late.. Sandeep and Shounak do a good job at dissecting the MCG Ashes test and also wish Damien Martyn a speedy recovery. #cricket open.spotify.com/episode/5SiJlw…
