The pain of cricket.
He may have been one of the toughest men in cricket, but even Graham Gooch, cannot suppress a scream of pain as the physio checks his finger for a fracture, after he was hit by Ezra Moseley. It was broken and Gooch retired hurt.
Trinidad, 1990.

"What do we do, Mike?"
"We make him an offer he cannot refuse, Doug..."
Nah, not a scene from The Godfather but England cricket captain Mike Brearley and manager Doug Insole would have been signed up in a second by Coppola, I wager. During the 1978-79 tour of Australia.

They are right.
Bikes add swag.
Especially when you lean on one while keeping an eye on the dog whom you feed every day,
Daring the world to disturb him.
Even if it is not your bike.

Closing out the year with one of my favourite Indian cricket photographs.
Smiling broadly, Bishan Bedi, Tiger Pataudi, Chandrasekhar, Anshuman Gaekwad and Gundappa Vishwanath run to the pavilion after India beat the West Indies. 1974-75.

I am going to be blunt:
2024 is the year when content creators and writers in India could lose all credibility among consumers (it is bad enough right now - people seem to trust user reviews!). A lot of us need to figure out what counts: brands, celebrities or our audience.

One of the most iconic scenes in The Godfather is of Marlon Brandon, playing Don Vito Corleone, talking to people while playing with a kitten in his lap.

An elderly gentleman in battered clothes and shoes, sits on the pavement and shows Khan Market the importance of reading.
And reading the news.

“Hmmm…he seems to have his elbows right…”
As the Indian team practices under lights for the first time at Sydney in 1981, Yashpal Sharma plays one down very correctly.
His captain, Sunil Gavaskar, watches.
(Had not seen this before so very pleasantly surprised.)

As a lot of talk is going on about how the World Cup was presented, here’s a look at perhaps The best World Cup trophy presentation ever.
A very young 21-year-old Malcom Marshall lifts the World Cup in 1979. Even as the teams intermingle and smile, irrespective of who won and lost.
