"There ought to be some other means of reckoning quality in this the best and loveliest of games; the scoreboard is an ass."
Some of my best memories of the game are not in the numbers, but in singular and random instances of a batsman's shot or a bowler's delivery or a fielder's attempt.
There is an occasional resort to argumentation and justification by numbers on my part, indeed so. After all numbers are an indispensible by-product of quality. But numbers are like wall-paint. For the paint to come out with the right effect, the building has to have some aesthetic fortitude in the first place.
This blog is about cricket and cricketers from the eyes, heart and brain of a viewer.
As a spectator and partisan of the sport for 3 decades and running, I, just like any other viewer, have been in the quest for people and performances on the Cricket field which make you feel like a warm muffin inside, which prescribe to you yet again that "all izz well" in life.
There is as much fun in witnessing a great act on the field as is in the lure of finding one.
