Sarthak Dev

And then, two lean men who were barely fit enough to play the game, a sacred Greek bird, and the twinkling fingers of a Sardar from Jalandhar. Twenty five years to the day. India, Australia, Kolkata 2001. linesonthegrass.com/p/miracle-on-s…

If televised speeches from Trump, Putin, Netanyahu- the most powerful current world leaders- showed up FIVE TO SIX times in a flattering light, in an entertainment oriented action movie from their own countries, what would YOU call it?

Thierry wanting to show people the true Micah beyond the laughs is pure big brother energy, but the ability for him to take this tangent and for everyone to go with it so naturally speaks so well of all of them, and the producers of this show. The gold standard.

At least 400 people were killed and 250 injured in an air strike by Pakistan on a drug users rehabilitation hospital in Kabul, a spokesman of the Afghan Taliban government said on Tuesday, a sharp escalation in the conflict between the neighbours.

@anandvasu Hahaha can only imagine. Especially while watching the drab late-2000s early-2010s batathons. Wonder if you finished every report with, "No, not cutting it" 😂

@devellix That was one of the first series I covered. As a 22-year-old. Imagine the next few years when you realise that it's all downhill from there 😀

The nostalgia of Eden Gardens 2001 brought back such a warm, fuzzy feeling. It reminded me of an interview feature I was lucky enough to do about 15 years ago in which Rahul Dravid and VVS Laxman sat down for several chats about each other, that series, batting, cricket and so much more: scribd.com/document/94398…

@DeafMango What do you think we should talk about?

Next @PCCIpod will be litttttt.

🖊️ New essay. Room 214, Taj Bengal. Four cans of Heineken, five cigarettes, and a man from Christchurch wondering if his team belonged. He gets a call from the front desk. Three strangers have left him a note: "You guys can still win this. We believe in you."

Two phone calls, lasting a minute each. Liam Livingstone says that is the sum total of his contact with England's management since his most recent international appearance 12 months ago. Interview @ESPNcricinfo espncricinfo.com/story/liam-liv…

⏳Today (March 16) is the deadline to submit binding bids for both @RCBTweets and the @rajasthanroyals. The @stateofplayclub has been following both processes closely since they began, and has written exclusive stories. 🎯 A snapshot of where things stand at the moment. 🧵

@vinayak1987 Haha, no you're right. There were a lot of dodgy decisions through the Test. Gilly's LBW in the first innings definitely. Second innings, barring maybe McGrath, they were okay?

@devellix I’ve always wondered why there is such little coverage on how blatantly biased the umpiring was in the 4th innings with many decisions glaringly dubious in bhajji’s 6-fer. To me that is a rain on this parade. Keen to know your thoughts :)

Meanwhile look at the expressions of our Daal Gadot next to him

@smenonk Thank you! :)

@devellix Wow - feels like the match just got over......goosebumps and that feeling of winning from nowhere, can't explain it in words.....as die hard cricket teen, this was the crescendo.

@tuhin_subhra Thank you, Tuhin :) So glad the essay spoke to you.

@devellix Sarthak, i had tears in my eyes. Thanks for writing this. Every cricket lover should read this

@rachnadhall Thank you, Rachna! :)

@devellix OMG, I have goosebumps. And tears. What a stunning piece of writing!
