Where are we 140 years later?

Test cricket has gone through all sorts of transformations since 1877

but it has never lost its ability to be the most magical of all sports :-*

Sir Tim Rice gave the Bradman Oration at the Adelaide Oval

He finished by saying that for him :

T20 was a one-night stand

the one-day game a three-week fling

Test cricket a lifelong love affair :-*

"It was a long time in the field and credit to India, they played beautifully.

Pujara and Saha batted exceptionally well.

It was a long time in the field, so credit to our boys the way they came out today

after having such heavy legs and spending that time in the field,

to still be able hold out for the draw."

Travis	Chiefs vs. Cowboys preview Week 13 Perhaps the most perplexing aspect of AT&T Stadium, otherwise known as “Jerry World,” is the glare from the sun that bursts through the windows and shines directly onto the field. Time and time again the glare has impacted players’ visibility during games, yet Jerry Jones refuses to make any changes to account for the sun. Rather than install curtains, Jones has previously said he feels it’s a home-field advantage to have that type of stadium factor impacting games. Well, the glare ended up benefitting the Chiefs early into Thursday’s Thanksgiving game, as a pass from Dak Prescott to George Pickens fell incomplete, at least in part due to the impact of the sun’s glare.

Serena	This batting performance by the West Indies in the second innings blew me away. I kept closing my eyes and then rubbing and opening them again and sat transfixed as I watch that unbelievable partnership between John Campbell and Shai Hope. What a magnificent performance by these two! It just goes to show that patience, determination and effort can go a long way to improve the performances of the West Indies team. Let us hope that this effort by West Indies batsmen would not be a one-off performance, but will be the beginning of a renewed effort to improve the performances of the team, going forward.
