I have been going to England for cricket for 25 years and Qamar Ahmed was always there, with a smile, with warmth, and with a bag of wicked stories. He had a way of instantly making you his own. For me, something essential, and inevitable, is gone from the Lord’s press box.

Of course, Aakash Deep and Siraj have made it seem as if the match is being played on two different surfaces

There is line between brave and reckless, and Rohit Sharma’s batting in this home season had veered increasingly towards the latter. It’s almost like he doesn’t trust himself to bat long anymore.

The most heart-warming piece of content on the internet today. The Neeraj-Arshad story is an exemplar for sporting rivalries: fiercely competitive on the field, full of warmth and respect off it

Not a word needs to be changed from this piece by Sharda Ugra. Particularly these— “Today, Vinesh Phogat is India's biggest, bravest, boldest Olympian. We are lucky to have her” espn.in/olympics/story…

मेरे लिए बहुत भावुक क्षण.. विनेश फाइनल में कल गोल्ड मेडल मैच। आज कई वर्षों की तपस्या के बाद विनेश फोगाट का सपना साकार हुआ है और अपने सपने के साथ-साथ विनेश ने मेरा और करोड़ों देशवासियों का अधूरा सपना भी पूरा किया है। पदक पक्का हो गया है। यह जीत और बधाई उन लोगों के लिए है जो हमारे संघर्ष में हमारे साथ डट कर खड़े रहे.. सभी को बहुत बहुत बधाई विनेश को बहुत बहुत बधाई..👏👏🙏🇮🇳🇮🇳 #Paris2024 #wrestling

One more Cricinfo original is gone, too soon. The word is used too loosely, but Robin Abrahams will remain a legend for anyone who knew him. @ESPNcricinfo will remain forever in gratitude espncricinfo.com/story/before-a…
