As an 8 year old in 1992 Dad took me to Headingly to see Sachin make 90 odd for Yorkshire. 19 years on, I stood at slip when he opened at a packed Kotla in Delhi, in the world cup. I couldn't hear myself think. It was crazy. My Dad was in the stand watching Sachin again. #lucky

Kane Williamson gets a game in the ipl. Does well. And all the coverage is positive in a slightly condescending way. Since 2018 he averages over 40 with a strikerate over 140 in the format. Its not really a surprise when he dominates.

True story: In the highest domestic league in Holland, a ball was hit in the creek & couldn't be retrieved. A replacement was found. The umpire walked to the creek, dipped the ball in the water, therefore ensuring it was in the same condition, before tossing it to the bowler.

Was born in christchurch in the early 80s, grew up there loving cricket. With no money, we used to jump the fence at Lancaster Park. That was a thrill in itself, but the motivation behind that and the reward for it afterward was inevitably down to Chris Cairns. He was our hero.
