Sachin and the 90s is something that I do here on Twitter where I pick matches where Sachin waged a lone battle as the rest of the batting line-up showed little resistance in the 90s.

Here is a thread on the first instance of that happening after Sachin's debut. Let's go
👇 Image
After the tour of Pakistan and New Zealand, Sachin toured England for his third series at the age of 17. There were only two ODIs to be played on that tour and only a single limited over practice fixture which came right before the two ODIs. India had to take on Derbyshire in a+
55 over match. Derbyshire batted first and reached 137 for zero before losing their next six wickets for the addition of only 98 more runs. They ended with a score of 235 which India had to chase down. Also playing in the match was @irbishi who had made his West Indies debut+

Story of how Shaun Tait earned his Baggy Green

Justin Langer = Getting hit

Shaun Tait = Raw Pace

What happens when it’s Shaun Tait x Justin Langer? This story that I am going to tell. But before that a bit on the protagonists of the story.
+
Maybe it had to do with his fondness for Martial Arts (he obtained the rank of Shodan-H- 1st degree black belt in Zen Do Kai, a kind of kickboxing) or just plain bad luck, but somehow Justin Langer attracted the most vicious of deliveries from the most ferocious pacers.
+
It began right from his Test debut against West Indies when Ian Bishop welcomed him to the highest level with a blow on the helmet with the first ball the 22-year-old faced. It continued till the end of his career where his appearance in his 100th Test was reduced to only one +

A CRICKET REALITY SHOW

Much of my childhood was shaped by what I watched on DD and one of my best memories of DD remains watching this reality show called Cricket Star that aired from Dec 2006 to Mar 2007. By that point, reality shows were ruling the roost on TV but a reality+
show on cricket was quite unheard of for the 13-year-old cricket obsessed me and to watch it on DD which by then had become a dumping ground of poor and retro content was amazing. The show was produced by Emerging Media and it was later we came to know that it was broadcasted+
simultaneously on Zee and DD and was the first major reality show to simulcast on Zee and DD.

The format of the show was the same that was used by all reality shows back then. 25,000 participants gave a trial and a few talented individuals got the chance to be a part of Cricket+

Had fun on Spaces today with @allaboutcric_ where we discussed cricket photographs. The conversation moved from pace bowling to run outs to crowd banners before the Spaces crashed. Thanks to all who joined. Here's a thread on some of the photos that I talked about
👇
Since we discussed the pace trio of Akhtar, Lee and Tait, I talked about this particular photo that I find really iconic when it comes to Akhtar. This is from Pakistan vs Sri Lanka match in the 2011 World Cup. And he was still rocking the speedometer.
The conversation then moved to run-outs courtesy my old tweet on Mayank Agarwal's strange run out from a 2015 match b/w India A and Australia A which led us to talk about Misbah's runout from 2007 Delhi Test and then we landed here - Inzi's run out from 1999 World Cup

THREAD ON A CLASSIC IRANI TROPHY CONTEST B/W SOURAV & SACHIN'S MEN

It was 2003 and the Indian team hadn't played much cricket post the high of the World Cup final. As the team was to play New Zealand at home and Australia in Australia in the coming months, BCCI decided that the
players need to play against each other to get back into rhythm. So, after the Challenger Series, a full-fledged Indian side took on the Ranji Trophy winners Mumbai led by Sachin Tendulkar for the Irani Trophy fixture played at Chennai. The Rest of India team was led by Sourav
Ganguly, the then Indian captain. Zaheer Khan, who was at the peak of his prowess back in 2003 brought the Mumbai batting lineup on its knees on the first morning itself as they found themselves knee-deep in trouble at 98-5. Sachin, who watched wickets tumble at the other end
