400+ choking

Packer is dead

The art of bowling has been eradicated absolutely

Hell, even the art of batting was absent from that game as the pitch and the ground itself seemed to simply expel balls

It was a game without a people, there were no players, no personality, no heroes – just a gound violently expelling balls into a crowd

crowd witnessed an incredible event, an apotheosis, something transcendant, fateful, a display of brilliant fate

mother of god everything operating perfectly

every gamble paid off

everyone, everything was choking with emotion at the sheer beauty of it all

for 1 day cricket where to from here…
