Fk these nostalgia merchants. I'd bet 90% of the comments are from people who never actually watched Crowe bat. But because he played in the '80s and '90s, he's instantly treated like an untouchable legend. Nostalgia does some heavy lifting, lmao
Since Kane Williamson has retired from international cricket, let's settle the debate about the best batsman of New Zealand.
Who is Kiwis greatest batsman ever?
Kane Williamson or Martin Crowe?
Or someone else?
Still can't wrap my head around why Santner left that ball, especially on the last delivery. Even an academy kid knows that in the final over, you swing at anything remotely hittable. What was he thinking, Then he tries to steal a run after leaving it. Absolute brainfade.
Every time I see tweets like this, it reminds me how deep the colonial hangover still runs. A dark Indian woman gets mocked for a hairstyle that would be praised as bold, beautiful, and empowering on a European woman. Same look, different standards. Pure inferiority complex
Dear Kane, you've really killed my interest in cricket. A boy who used to watch matches of every team hasn't watched a single ball of cricket since your retirement.
@blomkist1 The Olympics are what the whole world watches, and India should absolutely be better at them, I agree. But I'm not going to force myself to care about this European-dominated football culture just because it's popular elsewhere.
There’s barely any hype for this FIFA World Cup. I don’t even see it on my timeline. Some Indians seem to follow football because Europe does, not because they genuinely love it. We should be more like the USA and value our own sports instead of chasing European approval.
@uncle_indi66615 Look, every country is good at a certain sport, and people naturally prefer watching the one their country excels in. Why would I rather watch my country lose to Afghanistan in one sport than win a World Cup in another? It's pretty simple to understand.
@AfifE28612 Cricket is the only sport in the world where pure skill can take you to the top. You don't need a six-pack or be 6 feet tall. That's what makes cricket better in my eyes, but I respect your opinion.
@AtmaAlone Absolutely. We Indians often feel inferior to Europeans. No matter how much Europeans troll Americans, they still prefer their own sport. I've seen plenty of videos where some Americans don't even recognize Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi, lmao.
The Sussex fast bowler has been selected as cover for Ollie Robinson, who is expected to undergo a precautionary knee scan this afternoon.
Robinson experienced soreness after a training session on Friday.
Wishing you all the best, Ollie 🙏
