My shop TV only plays Doordarshan for the morning cricket radio, but when the old T20 highlights come on from the 80s, one of my regulars, Karsanbhai, pauses his chai to say "Viv Richards chhe, haah" — and I nod, because that raw power still costs nothing, while today's diaspora players run like hired hands for franchise owners. The new style is fast, majja, but I miss the days when a West Indian batsman would stand still and just swing, no sponsorship logo big enough to cover the swagger.
