Anyone else and it would have looked they discussing anything but cricket. But it's Smith...

This is Allan Jones. He is visually challenged by birth. 78 years old. In love with cricket for last 40 years. Buys his own ticket, sits at the same place, volunteers at the Basin know him. Takes his transistor out, hears the commentary, loves the clap. A fan. #INDvNZ

Naya overseas Test, batting still remains a jest.

Since the 2011 World Cup final, India and Sri Lanka have played each other in 53 internationals across the three formats.

Number of times Sri Lanka has won two matches in a row v India? Once.

#INDvSL

[Suneer @suneerchowdhary]

India had FIVE international hattricks between 1932 and 2018.

In 2019, they have had FOUR.

If T20I cricket was played in the 1980s, most teams would have batted the way Pakistan have batted in this series.

Google almost sounding sarcastic.

Across the three formats, Rohit's scored 1967 this year. Interestingly, Kohli's on 2047, the highest so far.

At this rate Umesh could well be called the Kapil Dev of modern India.

Kapil hit four successive sixes off Eddie Hemmings, Umesh hits four off five.

76.9 v SA, this series
66.8 v SL, 2009

"Where are those 2015 pitches? Can we have them back please?"

[Suneer @suneerchowdhary]

Since he tweeted this, a seventh double for Kohli. Your wish, my command. #INDvSA

[Suneer @suneerchowdhary]

Yep. "Got rid of Bavuma" so well, he is not even in the video. #INDvSA

"Opening suits my game. Just wear the pads and go out and play. The waiting game at 5 or 6, probably doesn't suit me."

The comparisons with Sehwag should end in that 1st over from Maharaj.

Sehwag would have lofted one over mid-off, then smoked the next over mid-wicket for sixes by now. Would have then waited for the spinner to shorten his length and cut it through point for 4.

Tendulkar crashed Cricinfo servers with his ODI 200. Rohit's done that to Twitter.

[Suneer @suneerchowdhary]

An angry Bumrah at the top of his bowling mark. #INDvSA

[Suneer @suneerchowdhary]

The ICL forced BCCI's hands. On August 20, 2007 a few dozen players were paraded as among those who would be playing in the ICL. Think Lalit Modi's blueprint for an inter-city 50-over tournament was already ready and BCCI announced the IPL a few weeks later.
