Some terrific work being done by my colleague Raju Shinde recently. The 1st set of photos is from a village in Beed battling the twin crises of floods & drought year apart; the 2nd pic is from last week’s tribal protests; the 3rd from SIR protests in Mumbai.

Dear @JPNadda @DrJitendraSingh ji,

We are observing a complete breach of the agreement regarding no police action against the protestors. Hundreds of students have been arrested in Bihar and Bengal, and hundreds are being surveilled/harrassed in Delhi and other states. Multiple reports are emerging in Delhi around detention of volunteers supporting protestors with logistics.

We demand that all the FIRs against the protestors be immediately withdrawn, students be released and no future FIRs be filed (in line with our agreement) by Delhi police / Central investigative agencies / Police in BJP-allied states, FAILING WHICH WE WILL BE FORCED TO SIT ON PROTEST AGAIN.

We also demand that the written agreement around legal cases be shared with us by tomorrow, the aligned timelines with the Government of India.

Great sports documentaries make elite athletes seem so human and relatable that a piece turns into a personal essay.

That's what happened when I wrote about the exquisite FLINTOFF, which led to musings on alter-egos, loneliness and, of course, grief:

Less than 7.5 days of cricket across 3 Tests where pitch conditions have made one session a game changer. A high dose of randomness takes away from skill. The format loses its niche as a true test. Besides (unfairly) making India seem insecure about that Test.

@ShomaChaudhury @iamsrk Now thats one "Soft Talk" interview to wait for. :)) (And yes, I'd seen the earlier one during the Tehelka days)

[Mihir @Sfx11]

Clever strategy to counter the "why can't you bat like the Indians? " approach.

Also clever strategy to not give all 10 wickets to spinners.

[Mihir @Sfx11]

Isnt there a boundary count thing?

[Greg Baum @GregBaum]

There may once have been, or one day will be, a better sport than Test cricket.
But I doubt it.

Piece I wrote on Sania Mirza. She will miss the pressure, we will miss her.

You should have to post a bond to make a DRS review.
20 runs, say.
If you're right or it's umpire's call, you get it back.

What am awesome piece of trivia.

[Mohandas Menon @mohanstatsman]

DYK?
The last time two right-handers opened the innings for Australia in Tests?
In March 2000, in the Wellington Test, Michael Slater and Greg Blewett opened the Australian innings.
Since then, Australia has played 246 Test matches!
