25 years ago at Eden Gardens Rahul and I shared a partnership that will forever remain special. In a moment when the game looked beyond us we chose belief, patience and resilience. That stand was not just about runs but was about trust, teamwork and fighting for every session. Grateful to have shared that journey with Rahul and to be part of a Test that reminded us all that in cricket comebacks are always possible👍 @BCCI #PowerOfPartnership #Believe #Resilience

25 years ago today I witnessed the most amazing day of cricket I’ve seen Following on 274 runs behind, V V S Laxman & Rahul Dravid batted the entire fourth day at Kolkata They set up a remarkable 171-run win … ending AUS’s record run of 16 consecutive Test victories

It's what we do

We can argue about gating provisions in evergreen funds until the cows come home. But that misses the point. The real question is retail capital flows: what adviser will voluntarily put client money into a gated fund? That’s right: none. Unfortunately, some of these funds need an influx of capital to keep swimming. Wait till FoFs start gating. At least with direct lending funds you have solid cash flow (for the most part, there are exceptions) Some FoFs don’t generate enough cash NII to cover distributions — plus the underlying funds might be gated.

@IanKeysEdge @GolfChannel It’s me; I’m making a trillion dollars on vintage golf!

“I think the players hit the ball too far for two reasons. One, a change of golf ball encourages equipment changes (ie, driver head size). Players are hitting 6-irons the distance we used to hit 3-woods. Two, players are in a lot better shape now than we ever were. But, name a sport where they don’t jump higher or run faster than they used to. Golf is no different. That being said, I do think we need to find a way to scale back the length they hit.”

“So who’s going to bowl to him?” asked captain David Gower, calmly sipping his tea. No one volunteered. The room fell silent, eyes lowered, each player hoping someone else would take the responsibility. Finally, Ian Botham stepped forward. It was not exactly an act of bravery - he was just two wickets away from overtaking Dennis Lillee as the world’s leading Test wicket taker. Botham asked John Emburey to bowl from the other end. As they walked out to the middle, Emburey turned to Gower and said, “If this shit doesn’t work, don’t just blame me. And whatever runs I concede, count them as runs conceded by all the bowlers combined.” England had arrived in Antigua after suffering four consecutive defeats against West Indies. The first and fourth Tests had ended inside three days, and the third inside four. Desperate to avoid a humiliating whitewash, England were now hoping at least to salvage a draw in the fifth Test. Three days had already passed with England still batting their first innings, and everything seemed perfectly set for a draw. But one man stood firmly in their way, Viv Richards. Before tea on the fourth day, Richards was already 28 from just 20 balls, having casually launched two effortless sixes. When play resumed, he continued exactly where he had left off. Botham and Emburey tried everything they could. Botham peppered the pitch with bouncers, but Richards hooked them with disdainful ease. The assault was relentless. Years later, Emburey recalled the chaos of that spell, “One ball smashed a bottle of rum in the stands and came back with shards of glass stitched into it. Another sailed out of the stadium and landed near the prison where Richards’ father worked. Before Viv came in, my figures were 9-0-14-1. Five overs later, they read 14-0-83-1.” Richards eventually brought up his century in just 56 balls, a record that stood for nearly three decades. England, meanwhile, were crushed by 240 runs. Take any modern day T20 hitter and multiply his ability by 10. Even then, he would still be miles behind Viv Richards. Sir Isaac Vivian Alexander Richards turns 74 today ❤️
