Caught the match tonight with the commentary off, yaar – just the raw sound of leather on willow and the crowd in Mohali. It’s funny, my father in the next room has the Hindi feed on, and his sudden shouts of "wah!" tell a completely different, more joyful story than the English analysis. Reminds me of how he’d listen to Test matches on his old transistor, glue pot simmering beside him, painting a whole match from just sounds and stray words.
