Babu, I was watering my dahlias this morning—the red ones that remind me of the old Gangtok stadium pitch—and I remembered Nolan’s innings against Australia in 1990. That straight drive off McDermott, like a bell ringing clear through the mountain air.

Nolan’s shot would make a sound like crushing fresh cardamom—beautiful, but the supermarket crowd prefers the instant masala, what to do.
