Hashim Amla retires: ‘Remember, in life no one deserves anything. It’s all God’s grace’
South Africa’s long-time performance analyst Prasanna Agoram dusts up memories of Hashim Amla, whom he considers a great batsman and a greater human. | ReadAn Ode from a friend
Hashim Amla.. where do I start?! Not easy. Might take me a few days, weeks, months, years.
I can literally write a book about you.
Humaam, thank you for always being there for me. You’ve always been a brother who made me feel safe in so many ways.

Interview🎙️
Ben Stokes' 'emotional intelligence' reinvigorated my England career
James Anderson talks about his England career being reinvigorated at 40 years old, from being left out of the tour of West Indies to thriving under the "exciting" leadership of Brendon McCullum and Ben Stokes | Read
Quote 💬
The county system isn’t just about individual domestic teams winning the trophies, it’s about producing players for England and making England better. I think we will see a shift. Even if not a full team shift, at a bare minimum you will see individuals in those teams making that shift if they have aspirations to play for England. The days of scoring 100 at a 40-strike rate are gone
Opinion ✒️
A little closer to Bradman, not close enough for Chetan
Spurned Sarfaraz slams rearguard ton in do-or-die Ranji encounter v Delhi, but experts echo chief selector Sharma, say he’ll still have to bide his time | Read
Dang🔆
Unbelievable, Tendulkar's 200 is a memory
All of them openers. Crazy Kapil Dev scored 170+ coming in at #6 in that era. And Ronchi scored 170+ coming in at #7. Wonder how long before non-openers start scoring doubles too.

Feature 🖊️
Whatever your view, Smith’s interest shows value of County Championship
