Hi children. Now time for some coping advice from people who saw Indian cricket in the 1990s:

@pramankapranam Proud to have been a teeny tiny part of it. Pulled 3 consecutive all-nighters after ages. (I’m a middle aged woman I cannot! 😂)

One of my favourite songs is we didn't start the fire, by billy joel. I've always wanted there to be a version updated for the last 3 decades. So I wrote one.
