I don't think there is another ground in India where the crowd almost becomes part of the post match presentation. I love doing it here. So @ChennaiIPL are you going to give Jadeja the 'verification' for "Cricket Thalapathi"?

[Imtiaz Mahmood @ImtiazMadmood]

Harsha Bhogle said, "I remain the teller of the story. Not the story itself".

Harsha with the gift of the verse made cricket more romantic and interesting.

While cricket was played on the field, he served it in his own flavour in our drawing rooms.

1. When Geoffrey Boycott once said Sachin may be a great batsman but he never got his name at the Lord's honours boards, Harsha said - "So whose loss it? Sachin's or the Honours Boards'?"

2. Explaining how Cheteshwar Pujara is a fine Test player but the T20 format doesn't suit him - "Pujara is a classical musician in the era of Yo Yo Honey Singh."

3. After Dhoni sent a Mitchell Starc delivery to the boundary - "He had all the time in the world. He could have read a newspaper."

4. On a Tendulkar straight drive against Ishant Sharma in the IPL - "Open the textbook. Turn to page 32".

5. About Rahul Dravid's devastating form - Ask him to walk on water and he would say, 'How many kilometers?'

6. About Glenn Maxwell’s batting - "He just loves to storm through. I guess if he had a car, he would probably start it in 4th gear."

7. After Sehwag was dropped yet again during a tour of New Zealand - "Its that kind of a day, Sehwag can walk blindfolded across a busy highway today and not get run over."

8. When Michael Clarke got caught at slip but was still waiting for the umpire’s decision - :I think he is waiting for tomorrow's newspaper to declare him out."

9. During Sachin’s last Test match against the West Indies - "Sachin playing well and looking positive. I think that couple of fours he hit settled the nerves. Dont know about his nerves, I am talking about the nerves of each and every person in the crowd."

10. Looking at the pitch in a recent England tour: "Looks like Suarez was here".

11. India's last man Narendra Hirwani was coming into bat when Bhogle was asked by his co-commentator Ian Chappell whether Hirwani could bat - "If you make a team with all the No.11s of all the teams, Hirwani would still come at No.11 in the line-up."

12. What a way to welcome Sachin when he was coming in to bat in a Test match!
"Eruption of joy in the fall of an Indian wicket would only mean one thing".

13. When India's 11th man, Varun Aaron, was coming into bat - "Cricket is the only sport in the world where you are absolutely horrible at something and you still need to go out and do it."

14. Dhoni was whacking one shot after another until Sachin got on strike and caressed a delivery towards covers - "We have a surgeon at one end and a butcher at the other."

15. After Dhoni lost the toss yet again - "MS Dhoni has yet again called for heads to the coin which has two tails."

16. While co-commentating with Rahul Dravid in a Test match that India was losing to England - "The only man who can save the match is the man sitting next to me."

17. After a diving Kieron Pollard could not take a catch - "If Pollard can't reach it then it's not a catch."

18. When Sachin got out off Michael Vaughan's off-spin in 2002 - "Oh what a shame! It's like a soldier who survived the war when all the bullets were flying by his nose and then got run over by a bicycle in his native town."

19. When the batsmen are scrambling for singles and twos at the end of an inning - "It's like the end of a scrabble game at this stage, India will take whatever they can get."

20. What a way to sum up why we call Dravid The Wall! - "Is there a more calming sight in the world than Rahul Dravid taking guard."

21. And this is what he said during a lecture at IIM-A and someone asked him what his CGPA was as a student - "I learned this very early in my childhood.
Remember the good, forget the bad."

The impact MS Dhoni has created all over the world cannot be matched by many.

Can't remember the last time I saw one boundary hit in 29 overs in a competitive ODI!

[Mama @SriniMaama16]

Afghanistan vs Australia, WC 2023 game at Wankhede: Easily one of the greatest rollercoaster rides in the history of my life as a cricket fan. This is how it panned out:

- Before match: Supporting Afghanistan, but knowing realistically they have less chance to beat Aus at Wankhede
- After toss: Small hope that, if Afghan put up a good score of 270-280, they could atleast put up a good fight
- At the end of Afg innings: 291. Knew game was well & truly on. Warner & Head in the PP were gonna be key.
- Naveen picks Head & Marsh: Was quietly confident about the defense
- Azmatullah bowls 2 beauties to dismiss Warner & Inglis, Aus at 49-4: Vera level feeling. It was Afghanistan's game now
- Labu is run out, Rashid picks Stoinis & Starc. Aus are 91-7. Absolute elation, was preparing my write-ups for the greatest victory in WC history
- 101/7: Noor picks Maxwell LBW. Maxy reviews but almost walks back to the hut, only to find it overturned
- 113-7: Mujeeb drops a sitter, giving one more to Maxwell, but it was still Afghan's game
- 186/7 in 33 overs - Maxy gets to 100*(76). Great knock, but get him out Afghanistan & win the match
- Maxy gets to 150 & starts cramping badly. Not even able to stand, but still manages to stay at the crease.
- Cummins plays an absolute master class of a supporting act at the other end that you start admiring it as a cricket fan
- 60 off 60 to win. Maxy falls down, his legs fail him, but he plays on through his sheer will, determination and hands. This is when the transformation happens. You start rooting for Maxy & Aus. Avanukaaga jeikanum.
- Maxy goes on & on, gets to 175. 26 to win. Will he get to 200? YES. HE DOES. HE KEEPS GOING, SMACKS 6 6 4 6 to get his double hundred 201*(128) to play the greatest ODI innings.

The transformation is complete. It's pure ecstasy for Maxwell's knock resulting in an Australian win. I was alive & saw it live when Maxwell played this knock nu solra range ku.

What an absolute rollercoaster ride. Thanks a ton, Maxwell.

Cricket, you beauty.

[Mama @SriniMaama16]

Aus cancelled their test vs Afg in Hobart in Oct'21
Aust withdrew from their 3-match ODI series vs Afg in March'23

Rashid was livid & tweeted his displeasure. This is their first meet after that. These Afghanis are proud cricketers & will have that in mind & want their revenge.
