Listen to the commentary as a 24-year-old Ricky Ponting walks out to bat. Australia are 55/4. The last three scores read: duck, duck, duck. Modest expectations : “Excellent opportunity for him to play a decent innings.” No one knew it then. But an era had just walked in.

Janhvi Kapoor is again taken in a film for visuals, as she doesn't know acting. Most of her roles especially in South films are overly sexualised. Even in #Devara and now the 1st song from #Peddi, she feels like mere eye candy, not a real character.

If 35 year old Starc is doing this in the Ashes…here’s younger Starc giving even Rahul Dravid problems. Forget the averages. Forget the strike rate debates. When it comes to impact, intimidation &amp; game shifting spells… is there a better left-arm pacer in this era?

Imagine being a 18 year old, making your International debut and the captain of a world cup winning team says "Get up, this is not school cricket, you bloody kid" You score 84 on debut and announce yourself &amp; Knock Australia out of the tournament.

How was Ricky Ponting not out here? And the Indian bowler who once clicked the fastest ball bowled by an Indian seamer 157.8 kmph... Just an incredible delivery 🔥

I've said this many a times before &amp; will repeat again, even then we made ads of brownwash, revenge series, a rank Turner played with an attack of spinners &amp; a SA born English player named Kevin Pietersen🦏 came out to humble us.. It was a beautiful knock ❤️

Watched this game live. Nasser Hussain really channelled his inner Jardine With Ashley Giles he set this leg-side trap for Sachin to stop the scoring. Yet Tendulkar still made 90 out of India’s 173/6. Do you know what's special about this dismissal?

England vs South Africa was a different duel altogether. Watch this when two men who share their birthday went toe to toe. Kevin Pietersen🦏 x Dale Steyn

The last wicket and the greatest test bowling duo bid adieu to cricket at SCG. Glenn McGrath and Shane Warne.

This decision is the one which baffles me the most. What were the umpires thinking? How did they give Brian Lara out?

For me, Ricky Ponting will always be the king of the pull shot. But this was one of those rare moments when he actually looked rattled… And it was the Mysore Express, Javagal Srinath, who got under his skin. How quick was young Srinath?

A best left hander coverdrive is tough to pick : 1. Lara - swagger 2.Sanga - elegance 3. Dada - authority 4. Haydos - brute and pomp. An underrated entry to this list is this guy, Yuvraj Singh. Look at the bat swing and the shot.

I miss this commentary banter which Navjot Singh Sidhu had with Sir Sir Geoffrey Boycott this whole phase of their commentary is where my English began improving. 2000s Star sports was something else. Alan Wilkins was a part of it. An amazing ensemble of commentators. ❤️

I don't like making people wait. It's not a good thing. Here you go..

Dennis Lillee had many moods, many reactions. Here he wasn't impressed even after getting David Gower bowled

Does anyone remember this moment? Harbhajan Singh x Brett Lee, 2003 World Cup. Look at Lee's bowling speed 🔥

Nothing left to give. No energy. No fuel. And still Peter Siddle kept running in…when it genuinely looked like he couldn’t bowl another over. Faf blocking everything at the other end, Siddle refused to stop. Happy Birthday to the workhorse ♥️

Bichel wrecked England with 7/20. Australia were 135/8. 70 to win. 74 balls to go. A partnership had to be stitched. The finisher was still there. When Bichel joined him, Bevan was 38 off 90. Is Bevan the coldest white-ball finisher the game has seen?

The swag is so unmatched till, date, that he didn't even spare the Little Master of that era. Sir Viv was oozing with aura and pomp.
