Rahul Dravid: Timeless Steel

Rahul Dravid: Timeless Steel by ESPN Cricinfo

Rahul Dravid was probably one of the last classical Test match batsmen. The lynchpin of India’s Test match side through the 2000s, he combined technical virtuosity with a legendary work ethic and near-yogic powers of concentration, and epitomised an old-school guts-before-glory approach in an age increasingly defined by flashy strokeplay and low attention spans. A collection of 30 pieces – new and previously published on ESPNcricinfo and its sister publications – this book features contributions from Dravid’s team-mates and peers, some of the finest cricket writers around, and interviews over the years with Dravid himself. It attempts to paint a picture of a cricketer who embodied the best traditions and values of the game, and a man who impressed the many people who came in contact with him. Greg Chappell remembers the India captain he worked alongside. Ed Smith, who shared a dressing room with Dravid at Kent, writes of a thorough gentleman. Sanjay Bangar relives the splendour of Headingley 2002. Jarrod Kimber tells of how Dravid became the reason for him getting married. Mukul Kesavan analyses how his technique allows for more style than one might assume. Sidharth Monga puts Dravid’s captaincy under the spotlight. Rohit Brijnath looks back at the twin peaks of Adelaide 2003. Vijeeta Dravid gives us a look at her husband the perfectionist. Those and other articles make Timeless Steel as much a celebration of a colossal cricketer as of an exceptional human being.

Netizens Express Their Disappointment on Wasim Khan’s Resignation [Reactions]

Pakistan Cricket Board’s (PCB) Chief Executive, Wasim Khan, handed in his resignation to the PCB Chairman, Ramiz Raja, on Monday, bringing an end to his three-year tenure in Pakistan cricket.

Breaking: PCB CEO Wasim Khan Hands His Resignation to Ramiz Raja

The 50-year old made valiant efforts to promote cricket in the country, including revamping the domestic structure of Pakistan and bringing back international cricket to the country. The likes of Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, West Indies, and Zimbabwe, have all toured Pakistan over the past few years.

He was also at the forefront of bringing top international teams such as New Zealand and England to tour Pakistan, but his efforts went in vain as they called off their tours at the last moment.

Wasim Khan was also instrumental in bringing Pakistan’s premier T20 tournament, Pakistan Super League (PSL), back to Pakistan. The fifth and sixth editions of the tournament were hosted in the country but did face some issues due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Wasim’s resignation has not sat well with the cricket fraternity in Pakistan as well as across the world. They took to various social media platforms to voice their disappointment. Here are some of the reactions on Twitter:

Really disappointed to read that Wasim Khan has resigned from his position as PCB CEO. A tremendous servant to Pakistan cricket, his work has often been unappreciated and ignored. This will be a big loss for the board. I'd urge Ramiz Raja to try and persuade him to reconsider.

— Aatif Nawaz (@AatifNawaz) September 29, 2021

Wasim Khan wasn't jobless when he came to Pak. He was already a cricket executive in Eng. He was the best CEO we ever had. Always remember there were no media leaks and rumors when he had full powers for 2 years straight. Thank You for helping Pakistan Cricket.

Don’t know the reasons as to why Wasim Khan has tendered his resignation, though what I do know it’s a significant loss for Pakistan cricket, it will take them straight back into the cesspit of mediocrity, hounded out by local journalists, who stopped receiving kickbacks.

— AmerCric (@Amermalik12) September 29, 2021

Wasim Khan leaving the PCB is just another terrible blow for Pakistan cricket.

— Jarrod Kimber (@ajarrodkimber) September 29, 2021

Wasim Khan was probably one of the best things that happened to PCB in a very long time. Disappointng that he had to resign(or was made to resign)

— Manahil Saeed

(@manahil__saeed) September 29, 2021

This country has never ever valued people who have given their heart and soul to their work. Always taken for granted and that’s exactly how I feel about Wasim Khan’s resignation. He was too good and sane for this management and clearly it isn’t something that is required!

— hania (@hania19x) September 29, 2021

This is even a bigger loss than the resignation of Misbah, Wasim Khan was the only one due to home PCB was progressing. Media Campaigns, Revival of Cricket, Improvement in domestic structure. Was there anything Wasim Khan didn't do? #ThankYouWasimKhan

Alexis Nunes is joined by George Dobell and Jarrod Kimber to preview the 2019 ICC Cricket World Cup match between England and West Indies, in Southampton. Dobell believes the game at the Ageas Bowl has all the makings of a classic match considering the players that are in action such as Jason Roy, Jos Buttler, Joe Root, Chris Gayle, Andre Russell and Jason Holder. He also think the importance of the match is not to be underestimated and that whoever loses has a big chance of not making the semi-finals. Kimber feels the West Indies will be confident going into the game after having the edge over England during the winter series but is concerned by their lack of agility in the field. #ESPNcricinfo

World Cup 2019: Cricket world reacts after David Warner's fortunate escape

http://tinyurl.com/yxrhoacf Australian opener David Warner received an enormous reprieve on Sunday in the course of the sport in opposition to India after Jasprit Bumrah induced a chop on the stumps solely to see the bails stay firmly in place. On the first ball of the second over of Australia’s chase of 353 at The Oval, Bumrah and remainder of Indian gamers had been left surprised when the bails did not fall even after a thick edge from Warner’s bat crashed immediately into the stumps. By the way, that is already the fifth time that such an incident has occurred on the ongoing World Cup 2019. Specialists and followers alike have been left puzzled by the ‘zing bails’ which have refused to fall at essential instances, thereby undoing hours of laborious work from bowlers within the trendy sport which is closely dominated by the batsmen. Listed here are excerpts from our ball-by-ball commentary from the earlier Four situations within the 2019 World Cup which left bowling groups excessive and dry: 1. England v South Africa Adil Rashid to Quinton de Kock, FOUR! 50 up for South Africa.However what occurred there? Has the ball hit the stumps? The truth is, replays present it did! The bails didn’t come off whereas the ball raced in direction of the boundary. It was a googly from Rashid which pitched on leg prompting de Kock to go for the sweep however misses. The ball brushes the off-stump and beats Buttler to the third-man boundary 2. New Zealand v Sri Lanka Trent Boult to Dimuth Karunaratne, wait, what! The ball appears to have crashed into the off-stump earlier than nestling contained in the keeper’s gloves. Not possible to consider how the bails did not come off and managed to remain within the groove. We already witnessed one thing related within the World Cup opener and now this! Karunaratne ought to contemplate himself fairly fortunate. 3. Australia v West Indies Mitchell Starc to Chris Gayle, Not Out! There was positively some noise there? Oh pricey, it is not from the bat, relatively it is from the ball brushing the off stump. And by chance for Gayle, the bails did not come off. Gayle tries to muscle this outside-off supply from Starc, over the leg-side however misses it altogether. As quickly as Carey appeals for a caught behind, the umpire raises his finger however Gayle disagrees. A DRS enchantment later it is clear that the ball did miss the bat solely to flick the stumps on its method to Carey’s gloves. Merely unbelievable {that a} 147 kph supply did not dislodge the bails. Starc can solely chortle as he walks again to his bowling mark whereas Gayle will bat on… 4. England v Bangladesh Ben Stokes to Saifuddin: Wow are you able to consider it? It has occurred as soon as once more right here. A back-of-a-length ball from Stokes and Saifuddin tries to drag it however misses and the ball ricochets off his arm onto the stumps. Nevertheless, the bails stay intact as Stokes is left with fingers on his head In the meantime, distinguished specialists and present and former cricketers have criticized the zing bails with a few of them calling for the ICC to be aware of such incidents. I perceive that the electronics within the stumps and the bails make them heavier. Why can’t the groove the bails sit in simply be made shallower? Received’t that repair the issue? https://t.co/MXfLWjgHqi Jimmy Neesham (@JimmyNeesh) June 9, 2019 This may’t preserve occurring with the bails !!!

This is what the Cricket world cup players fears

The prospect of working on Wisden Cricketers’ Almanack was more than a little daunting. How can it not be when Benny Green, the Cockney saxophonist who loved Wisden so much that he was asked to anthologise the first 119 editions, labelled it: “An accidental, and incidental, social history of England.” Never mind social history I was a 25-year-old hack just concerned that I didn’t mix up the fi nger spin of BAW Mendis with the leggies of BMAJ Mendis. But very quickly the feeling dawned that I was part of something special. The highfalutin idea that Wisden is somehow more than mere sports journalism does have some credence. EW Swanton’s copy of the 1939 edition – stamped “Not Subversive” by his Japanese captors – was famously loaned out to his fellow PoWs in six-hour stints to provide solace from building the Thailand–Burma Railway. Swanton reckoned it must have been most-thumbed copy of Wisden in history.

In A Clockwork Orange, Stanley Kubrick placed a yellow slab on the prison governor’s desk (not, since you ask, in the hands of Alex, the deranged anarchist). But Wisden has always had a wider appeal than many assume. Once Kim Philby had defected to the Soviet Union, he managed to acquire a copy of the 1972 Wisden, which he would occasionally flick through in his Moscow flat. EM Wellings’ analysis of the 1970/71 Ashes and Norman Preston on ‘Cricket Prospering Through Sponsorship’ presumably provided some sort of relief from wading through the latest batch of KGB directives. Len Beurton was less successful. After he spilled the beans to journalist Anne McElvoy on Cold War espionage, she asked if there was anything the unrepentent defector couldn’t get in East Berlin. Beurton asked for the latest Wisden. This was all from a time before the internet, when Wisden was perhaps the one place to find every report and record. The emergence of ESPNcricinfo and other websites have changed Wisden’s role. Even if sales never again breach 50,000, as they did for the post-2005 Ashes edition, Wisden seems under no existential risk – partly because what’s inside is more compelling than ever, but also because it still banks a modest profit.

The ultimate cricketing collectable

Perhaps the greatest protection to Wisden’s future is that it cannot be changed too much. Few would dare launch an annual today, and certainly not one on 160mm x 100mm paper and an inefficient paper stock. Back in 1973, Sir Tim Rice bought a full set from JW McKenzie for just £750, but in the 1980s the worth of 19th-century Almanacks shot through the roof. And collectors want Wisden 2019 to slot in neatly on the shelf. Robert Maxwell found this out rather abruptly. When Wisden was subsumed by Maxwell’s publishing empire, he bounded up to the 1983 annual dinner and pledged to expand the paper and text size in a general overhaul. The cricket world quickly turned its guns on him. Maxwell, with some logic, wanted to reduce the pagination – and it is true that Wisden will not be allowed to grow much fatter. Its waistline expanded to a record 1,760 pages in 2003, and every modern editor has faced a battle to cram everything in. Today’s Wisden, edited by Lawrence Booth, still carries full scorecards of every first-class match in England and dedicates nigh-on 40 pages to schools cricket, while opening up to the mushrooming franchise T20 landscape and the full women’s international schedule. “Matthew Engel used to say that Wisden is like a tropical jungle: it needs constant pruning to keep it manageable,” says Booth, who has just finished his eighth edition. “We’re not under strict orders, but there is an understanding that it can’t really get much bigger, and we’ve managed to keep it around the 1,500-mark.”

No longer just a book of record

Part of Booth’s approach was to drop the Laws, be more selective about the records – many of which go out of date before Wisden hits the shelves – and use the extra pages to expand the marquee front-of-book articles, making Wisden an unparalleled sporting read. So it is unlikely that a Test coach will again settle an onfield dispute by opening up the relevant Law in Wisden, as Bobby Simpson did to the embarrassed umpire Clyde Cumberbatch, when Dean Jones was contentiously run out at Bourda in March 1991.

The book now kicks off with 250 pages of Comment and Review before reportage begins with the England section. As The Spectator’s Alex Massie put it when Wisden turned 150 in 2013: “The Almanack is no dusty or reverent compilation of mere detail; rather it teems with life.” Booth says: “Without doubt the internet has changed Wisden. We have to be more creative about how we use numbers and stats. The Comment section was steadily growing before I came in. I would say this, but I think those first 250 pages is the best cricket writing around.” A looming challenge, you sense, is how to embrace the game’s new wave of impact-based analytics – though Jarrod Kimber wrote a feature on them in Wisden 2018, and stats boxes already float within match reports. Ever since the days of Sydney Pardon – who was moved to pronounce that England’s omission of fast bowlers for the 1909 Oval Test “touched the confines of lunacy” – the Notes by the Editor have been the game’s pulpit, though as the social revolution in this country has played out, the sermon has become less conservative in outlook and more anguished liberal.
