Nah. I don't watch white ball cricket. They play tests out there, too. We've always seen some glorious batting, and their spinners with men round the bat on bunsens. But they've now got a top quality test-match quick.

It was great when I first started going in the mid-90s. You'd see a couple of dozen cycle rickshaw-wallahs, standing outside a chai shop, watching the cricket on a small B&W telly, only drinking water as they couldn't afford the Rs.2 for chai.

So you'd walk past and ask "Has Sachin got his ton yet?" and you'd be talking like best mates, with nationality, skin colour and socio-econ circumstances now totally irrelevant.

His ability to unite people makes Sachin a saint. The polar opposite of that cheating Convict cünt Smith.

And it's warm if you're not up the mountains.
