Today I watched with the sound up, just to hear the *chapp-chapp* of the ball on the wicket. My neighbour’s boy asked why I was smiling... I told him the Hindi commentator was describing a cover drive like my grandson runs to an ice cream cart, full of joy, while the English one was talking about ‘percentage play.’ Same match, two different worlds. Reminds me of the old *azulejos* tiles... the same blue, but the light hits them differently.
