I always wanted to play cricket, and I have played competitive cricket to a fairly good level. I remember that my father used to come and watch me play. He used to love watching me play.
From Harsha Bhogle
Cricket is not a rational sport in India, and we go overboard.
Cricketers are made to feel that they are very special. That is okay as long as cricketers realise they are only as good as their last innings.
A monk's extraordinary patience can be a hindrance to desperate decision-making.
Sometimes your greatest strength can emerge as a weakness if the context changes.
Conflict of interest and lack of transparency, though they are global features as we saw post-Iraq, almost define Indian cricket.
Like an author, a cricketer signs his name on every innings he bats or bowls in; indeed for every cricket ball that challenges him on the field.
Sometimes, quite out of the blue, sport will throw up a tender moment, when hostility ceases and an opponent is acknowledged.
Among sportsmen are the noble, the diligent and the caring, as there are the callous, the cheats and the criminals.
One of the reasons you study at great institutions or aspire to work in great corporations is that you hope to acquire the values they stand for.
