Epic writing, Sarthak. Your poetic way of writing makes every point so impactful. "Lara and Hooper, these guys who’ve inhaled cricket's thinnest air, who’ve danced on its highest peaks"- sentences like these peppered all across invoke feels that can't be put into words. Not much of a sportsperson, but gradually getting into sports and having stronger opinions on such issues by reading your pieces. Cheers!
Among a load of things in this piece, I love the title and this--Papa Dioup walked into the most expensive dinner party and decided to flip the buffet table--the best. Also, timely reminder about the tightening noose of oligarchy.
It’s poetry pushing such a vital point aggressively. Hats off. There is a commercial challenge of bilaterals , but that’s why this balance needs to be evaluated proactively.
Indeed. Ideally, T20s should subsidise Test cricket, as said by Rahul Dravid many years back. The ICC is making enough money through the franchise leagues to not mess with Test cricket. But there isn't such a thing as too much chocolate, is there?
