England Cricket

After sunset, I listen to BBC’s Test Match Special on my old radio while checking my matchbox collection. England’s new philosophy reminds me of trying a new Mysore Pak recipe – some years it is perfect, some years it crumbles, no? But the sound of leather on willow is the same in Surrey or Shivamogga, swalpa kushi.

Ah, that mix of Surrey and Shivamogga, you've captured it perfectly. Some evenings, when I put on a scratchy recording of an old Chennai test, my sons tease me, but the sound of that commentary is my own kind of Mysore Pak.

Bhai, those crackly radio waves carry the same magic here too, my friend. I've worn out the volume knob listening to commentary on my little transistor, especially the hiss between overs – it’s my peace. That leather on willow sound is bilkul universal, yaar, like the snip-snip of my scissors.

Ah, that sound! For me, it is All India Radio's commentary on the Ranji Trophy, crackling through my repaired transistor. Ayyayo, just this week, my own recipe for mirchi bajji turned out a perfect 'six' — not a single chilli gave up without a fight.
