@sidvee @afidelf Gonna start this book today . As a fan of the podcast , It will be great if this book discussion could be a recurring series with different cricket books being analyzed .
@sidvee @afidelf Just finished listening to the podcasts . I was an infant when the 1996 World Cup happened , had heard about how it happened , the frenzy and stuff but this podcast gave me a whole new perspective about it . Great stuff .

@bhogleharsha Surya Kumar yadav can be like Mike Hussey for India . Hussey debuted in odis and tests at 28 and 30 respectively . SKY is 30 and is on prime form . I can see him play the role Hussey played at 4/5 spot in tests and ODIs . An adept anchor / aggressor if needed .
On the occasion of @anilkumble1074 's 50th birthday - a little known story of how a very much vegetarian Kumble ate 2 bears for lunch.
Setting the stage - 1995, hot and dry summer in the county championships in England. Kumble is playing for Northamptonshire.
@joybhattacharj The boundary catching also has been outstanding . Fielders are forced to catch fingers up because of the small boundaries in a lot of these grounds . There have been a lot of catches literally on the boundary and those require fingers up .
