🚨EXCLUSIVE🚨
From a land of some of the greatest cricketers this sport has seen, Matthew Forde's talent is unmissable. From a memorable ODI debut in front of his family to his foray into the sport, here are excerpts from a recent chat:

Fly Bumrah to Manchester tomorrow and give him a swinging Dukes ball, he'll instantly bowl full to get it to move and induce the edge. Fly him to Australia a couple of days later, he'll instantly bowl back of a length all day. Nobody adapts better than he does

I was wrong. It's ten steps back.

In a nutshell, this is the very reason why Rahul Tripathi remains uncapped and why Prithvi Shaw has played a spoonful of T20 games. Or even why Sanju Samson has had a sporadic run with the team

Anchoring disease is a systematic problem of Indian cricket. Our system doesn't value 45(22), they need 50 (40) and 600 run season for selection. Until the process of selection changes, anchoring will continue.

Lack of consistency has been an issue with KL, no doubt. The rope isn't thin either and it is on the verge of snapping. Yet as someone pointed out yesterday, some context must be added. Dhawan was (with due respect) a walking wicket outside the SC and Mayank's technical 1/n

Neither was a miscalculation IMO. Always better to use your best bowlers one over early than one over too late based on the equation. Had Hardik torn into Nawaz in the 15th or 16th over the game might have been done in the 19th. That would have been a miscalculation

What's even more hilarious over Axar's T20 exclusion is it has come at a time when he seems to have regained that bowling rhythm. Barring that 19th over in the last game he's had an outstanding series so far against Aus. And his batting is always valuable for WI (WC pov)

'Allowed to them'?
You can criticize the team's approach with the bat and rightly so. But bringing up facilities and money is below the belt. What does that mean then - don't provide them what's basic?
#T20WorldCup
Unpopular opinion: Indian women cricket team’s dipping recent performances are exactly a contrast to the facilities, money and exposure allowed to them. It’s just that nobody asks questions of them as much as we do of the Rohit Sharmas and Virat Kohlis of men’s cricket

Kuldeep's redemption is so pleasing. He was lost 3 years ago and I feared how he'd bounce back when he had a lot of work to do. We've seen only a small portion of the rewards of all the hard work though - this could just be the beginning of his peak if all goes well

Vijay absolutely bossed the Aussie attack at Gabba in 2014. Pity he was stumped on 144 - the way he was going that day I was sure he was getting nothing short of 250 that innings. Might sound as a bit of a stretch but that's how possessed that knock was

That sound when Shane Watson tapped the pitch suggests it's a typical Chinnaswamy track. I do feel the value of runs on the board in an ODI are understated though. No-brainer to chase in T20s but if you have a mountain of runs to play with in an ODI, it's a much tougher...
