Meet Nelson Wang, the inventor of Indian-Chinese the "Chicken Manchurian". Wang was born in Calcutta's Tangra China Town in 1950. When his family moved to Canada in the 1977, Nelson decided to move to Bombay.

Strating out as a nightclub limbo dancer and fire-eater, he found a job was as a cook at Frederick's, a Chinese restaurant in Colaba and where the legendary Raj Singh Dungarpur, then President of the Cricket Club of India was a regular.

Frederick's was asked if could cater to Cricket Club of India, but turned down the offer. So Nelson took on the challenge. It was here that Dungarpur, who liked fried food asked Nelson for something spicy and crunchy with a gravy.

Fundamentals

@fund_amentals

Cricket is one of the oldest and fastest growing sports around the world.

Here are 5 reasons why I'm bullish on the future of cricket:

1. Growing popularity

According to the International Cricket Council (ICC), cricket is the second most popular sport in the world, with an estimated 2.5 billion fans globally.

Since 2007 there has been a 700% increase in cricket participation in the USA alone.

2. T20 format

The T20 format has been a game-changer for cricket, with the average attendance at Indian Premier League (IPL) matches increasing by 18.8% from 2018 to 2019.

The format has also helped attract a younger audience, with 66% of IPL viewers being under the age of 35.

"Richa started playing when she was around four years old. I used to take her to the club that I had represented at one time. I found out that she was not restless; she used to sit and watch the matches, used to pick the bat and played but never nagged about going home.

I also tried to get her to join table tennis but she was not interested as she tossed the bat after a couple of shots, saying 'I want to play cricket", recalls her proud father Manabendra Ghosh, a former club-level cricketer.

@SimplyArsh

यह #thread हर उस इंसान के लिए है जिसका यह मानना है कि 1. भारतीयों को पाकिस्तान के साथ #cricket को राजनीति और धर्म से अलग रख कर देखना चाहिए, और 2. #cricket को लेकर आपसी खेल के निर्णय में भारत और पाकिस्तान दोनों एक ही नैतिक धरातल पर खड़े हैं।
आपको बुरा और कड़वा लग सकता है लेकिन..

https://twitter.com/_FaridKhan/status/1622018131563528194

आपका उपरोक्त दोनों बातों को मानना बिल्कुल वैसा ही है जैसा अंग्रेज़ी कम्मोड को घरेलू कुआँ मान कर, उसमें से पानी निकाल कर, चाय बनाकर, उसी कम्मोड पर बैठकर पीना। क्यूँकि यहाँ भी आपका फ़ोकस शेष हर संदर्भ को भूल कर केवल पानी और सीट पर है जैसे वहाँ केवल खेल और उसके रोमांच पर है।

आस्ट्रेलिया, इंग्लैंड, श्रीलंका इत्यादि से क्रिकेट खेलने में खेल के अतिरिक्त कोई और संदर्भ नहीं होता। लेकिन पाकिस्तान के साथ ऐसा नहीं है। पाकिस्तान के खिलाड़ी हमेशा खेल भावना को ठोकर मार कर धर्म और राजनीति को खेल के बीच भी और बाद भी सर्वोपरि रखते आए हैं।

#Cricket in #America

The idea of a T20 League in America is nearing close to an eventual start. Here's a quick & short #thread on what's happening there.

Major League Cricket (#MLC) will be hosting its first player draft on March 9 at the NASA Space Centre in Houston, Texas.

+

It's finally all happening and you can see the footprints of #IPL already in a substantial manner.

But before I get to that, here's a bit on the draft.

Cricketers from all over the world who've settled in / relocated to America over the years will be part of the draft.

+

For instance, Corey Anderson now lives in Dallas. Unmukt Chand is based out of Philadelphia. Liam Plunkett lives there too. There are more.

Then there are cricketers playing MLC Div-2 (the feeder line). In 1st week of March, I'm hearing there's a scouting programmed planned.

#IPL2023Auction
"My father's dreams for me were connected to cricket. I knew if I did well in cricket, his soul would rest in peace", says 24-year-old #ChetanSakariya who made quite an impression with his IPL debut.
@Sakariya55

#IPL #IPL2023 #Cricket #Passion #Inspiration

Hailing from the small town of Vartej in Gujarat, Sakariya was the sole breadwinner for his family. He worked at his uncle's stationery shop in Bhavnagar as his father, a lorry driver, was bedridden after suffering a few accidents.

In return, his uncle helped nurture his cricketing dreams. After much hard work, the boy who once didn't have money to buy cricket shoes got a chance to play in the Saurashtra under-16 team.

This is false equivalence by a deep state puppet; an instigator of a military coup. 1/9

https://twitter.com/pakistaninews/status/1593681450834227200

1stly: #COAS is appointed under the law whereas the #CJP & the institute thereof is a subject of the #Constitution. #SupremeCourt (including Chief justice) is one of the three organs of the government i.e. trichotomy of powers. 2/9

Whereas the military is a subordinate department of the ministry of defense which is a part of the executive branch of the government. Appointment of #COAS is an administrative process carried out by the executive. 3/9

So, now that the ban on the use of #saliva on a #cricket ball is permanent, it's literally the end of an era where seam bowling is concerned.

Can't help but recollect a priceless conversation I had with the one-&-only -- Wasim Akram -- some years ago on this subject.

+

It was some promotional event and I found myself in conversation with the man. He, I thought, was in the mood to chat too.

And when he's in the mood to talk, I can tell you from that personal experience, you'll want to keep everything aside and just listen.

+

So, I listened.

"Ball jo banta tha... usme do main factors hote the. Saliva aur shine...

"Delivery khatm hone ke baad... ball ek specific route se waapis aata tha -- wicket-keeper se slip, slip se gully ya point, wahan se cover ya mid-off, & back to the bowler...

ICC announces changes to Playing Conditions.

The main changes to the Playing Conditions that come into effect on 1 October 2022 are:

#Cricket #CricketTwitter

Batters returning when caught:

When a batter is out Caught, the new batter will come in at the end the striker was, regardless of whether the batters crossed prior to the catch being taken.

Use of saliva to polish the ball:

This prohibition has been in place for over two years in international cricket as a Covid-related temporary measure and it is considered appropriate for the ban to be made permanent.

The Paperclip

@Paperclip_In

#CLRJames' deceptively benign question: “what do they know of cricket, who only cricket know?”, was a challenge to the public to re-consider the game in England’s elitist orthodoxy.
Given James failed in this task, what is the story of #cricket from a people’s perspective? 1/14

Although no #history is ever ‘definitive’, cricket has always been particular about whose voices are heard.
Like James, the game has had other maverick historians of course. But the likes of Bowen, Birley and #Marqusee all suffered at the hands of the game’s establishment. 2/14

Given Birley recognised “cricket lovers do not like to be told new things”, #cricket in England is still defined by 'gentlemanly amateurism'.
But rather than a handful of gentlemen associated with the #MCC, the game’s growth owes everything to the efforts of ordinary people. 3/14
