Cricket is scattered with the best mania
Run-up was marked. The warm-up was complete. Waiting for the toss. As the clock ticked towards the start of India's men's T20 World Cup match, the air cracked with hope on Sunday Uth Africa in Ahmedabad. Then what must have happened a long time ago must have been a strange thing.
David Miller completing his preparations with a visualization space in the middle of the war ld's largest cricket stadium; ten Wear gloves, bat in your hands. She looked up and saw a familiar figure approaching; a bright smile like her eyes. Hardik Pandya extended his arms, and he and Miller had a long, warm Moment.
They looked like long-lost friends who happened upon each other in the stand. Not the heroes of the opposite sides of the tournament's biggest match.
It was definitely enoug Ian Botham and Ian Chappell's Ancient veins for blood clotting, whose celebrated feud began in a Melbourne bar fight 49 years ago next month and continues to this day. They probably find out the fact that they share a first name They are.
And here Miller and Hardik were behaving like lovely brothers. Did they not realize that they were enemies of the oath? Ah, the unbearable lightness of modern cricket, Er's attitude towards such serious matters. You have to wonder if Botham and Chappell would still fight if they shared a dressing room. As Miller and Hardik have done - they were important Gujarat Titans team members in 2022, when F The Ranchisees won the IPL in their inaugural campaign, and in 2023.
The modern era, with its far-flung franchise tournaments, has done so much for the sport in many ways. One of them is that different countries S's players no longer treat each other like scum.
South Africa's match against the West Indies at the Narendra Modi Stadium offered more circus. Countless evidence in favour of that argument. We don't I know how good Keshav Maharaj is with Shai Hope, Sherfane Rutherford and Roston Chase. But we know they all played for the Pretoria Capitals in December and January in the SA20. and that Gudakesh pearl Miller's parl was in the Royals team, as was Sikander Raza - Miller could collide when the South Africans play Zimbabwe in Delhi nday. If this happens, another hug is guaranteed.
People who Worrying that all this familiarity would take away the competitiveness required to make cricket worth watching, the events of the first over of Thursday's match eased the fears of the Waris. Maharaj bowled it, And his Pretoria teammate Hope immediately hit two sixes and a four.
Nevertheless, West Indies Shambles Jason Holder and Romario Shepherd scored 89 off 57 balls. But the West Indies always remained in the match and Haney was going to struggle with 176/8.
There were no current IPL or SA20 teammates from Aiden Markram and Quinton de Kock in the opposition XI on Thursday. But, if they were, surely South Africa's openers scored a brilliant 95 off 48 balls. Ryan Rickleton, too, didn't have to think about whose feelings he could hurt because he was 50 with Markram Sharing an unbroken 82 of them. They both needed South Africa to retain their unbeaten record after six matches in the tournament and reach the semi-finals.
His nine-wicket haul The victory, achieved with 23 balls to spare, marked the West Indians' first defeat in the competition. If India beat Zimbabwe in Thursday's late match at Chepauk, Eden Gar on Sunday The match between the Indians and the West Indies in London will be a shootout to make it to the final four. Given the friendly state of the game, it wouldn't be surprising if South Africans enjoyed a Sunday Wishing the West Indians all the best for the day of owdown.
You like aggression? Maybe even violence? Try the Ranji Trophy final in Hubli this week, when Jammu and Kashmir captain Paras Dogra Kar The play's noisy KV got quite annoyed with Anees - who was fielding at the silly point - when he hit him in the head while he was batting. Happily, both players are wearing helmets The shaking test must have been interesting.
No one wants to see, of course, a kind of behavior on the field. Even Botham and Chappell would agree. Or will they?
