I loved it so much Sarthak, especially the below lines

They were practically at the boarding gates, ready to take the flight to Heathrow, when the downpour in Antigua stopped and the cricket gods gifted them a ride back to the World Cup.

If there was a University which had sarcasm as a subject or as a major, you will ace in it like harry potter is as a seeker in quidditch

Got to know about your writing from your tweet this morning, after Afghanistan thumped the Aussies proper. Mate, you've summarised every feeling of mine as a kid from the 90s, watching the Aussies dominate thru' the '00s, Punter, Clarke, & all their on field shenanigans. They at least gave us chances to hate them. Cummins doesn't. He makes us see the truth- they're just bloody good athletes who just turn up their with their best when it matters most (Case in point-Starc in the IPL).

Terrific piece, & extremely well written, & was able to relate to every damn line, & learnt a couple new things. Keep going buddy. Exploring your other pieces now....
