Lover and student of what I call...'The Royal Game'....since I saw the first ODI world cup in colors...

@pushkar_g_singh Good question. I remember reading on a Cricinfo article (or elsewhere) that he was thrilled to have won duels with Subhash 'Fergie' Gupte, a very good Indian leg-spin bowler from the 50s. Sir Garry said later that Gupte was better than Warne. Make what you will, of this!

@Nishkarsh_K_ @DrGauravGarg4 beaaautiful response, buddy!!

@catalona_1 seriously wtf?

If you ever needed a visual indication of how batting heavy the IPL has got, this is it

[bigLegCudder @BigLegCudder]

@CricketopiaCom I've been a big fan of his batting, but some of his utterances are of a person who's prone to have foot-in-mouth moments, one after another!

@ajarrodkimber El Crapico--funny name. Tbh most of IPL games are like that!

Marcelo Bielsa: "I am sure that football is in a process of decline.

"It is becoming less and less attractive because what made it the best game in the world is not there anymore.

"If you let a lot of people watch football, but you don't protect the pleasure of what they watch, that favours business, because the business is that a lot of people watch football.

"For me, the introduction of technology like VAR does a lot of harm to football.

"This sport has a particularity: when it becomes completely predictable, it loses its appeal.

"As time passes, as fewer and fewer footballers are worth watching and as the game produced is less and less enjoyable, this artificial increase in the number of spectators will be interrupted."

@CricketOGs my all-time favorite batsman. thanks for sharing.

[bigLegCudder @BigLegCudder]

@_cricketsparsh @hershybru as @hershybru , a great fielder himself, has responded to you, so no need to add further as far the reputation goes. Unfortunately, statistics around a fielder's capability and contribution were not captured, unlike today.

[bigLegCudder @BigLegCudder]

@himganj153 I mean, you can find out for pacers too, and the overall conclusion is, it's getting more & more batsmen friendly, which is true for T20 anyway. What happens to bowling?

3 M, 21 wickets at 12.09, 28.52 SR

Impressive start by the young Turk in the county season.

He has talent. His time will come.

@TheBarmyArmy depends on the situation isnt it?
On a flatbed, century is easy, fi-fer is hard.
Thats why Ollie Robinson's 5-fer in a run-athon in Pakistan a couple of years back was a great performance.
In the swinging conditions at Headingley, opposite is true!

[bigLegCudder @BigLegCudder]

@d_hari_krishna_ @CricketopiaCom No. Its not about challenge. Its about having a chance for a fight. There is almost no chance for a bowler. That's the problem.

“T20 is a different game, it’s almost shouldn’t be called cricket. You’re taking out the accountability of getting out, which is the essence of batting.”

Brendon McCullum had unbelievable athletic ability. At practice with KKR he would sometimes do something that had the whole squad dumbstruck.
I always used to wonder if he was regularly in the outfield instead of keeping, how many more such moments he would have provided.

@kartik_kannan Watched each and every match of that series. Re-ignited my love for the game, after depressing events of year 2000 (match-fixing and all !)

[bigLegCudder @BigLegCudder]

@RR_for_LIFE any of Patty Cummins, Mitchell Starc or KG Rabada!
Josh Hazlewood isnt far behind!

[bigLegCudder @BigLegCudder]

@MichaelVaughan To call someone 'greatest ever' is tempting & usually because of recency bias. But cricket has seen at least half a dozen bowlers who can be called greatest ever! He's 1 of the best in last decade or so, 100%!
So I'd just stick to "One of the greatest, never THE greatest!"
