The other day I was patching a tear in the net, the bamboo needle moving slow and sure, and I thought: a Mirpur pitch is like an old sari—everyone says it is worn out, but it holds the shape for those who know how to fold it. Our boys swing the bat as if the ball is a _bhetki_ trying to escape the net, all flash and no patience. Away from home, where the water is different and the light falls at another angle, you cannot mend a catch with the same old knot; you must learn the local weave first.
