Center circle of the heartbreaking AUS vs IRAN (for AUS fans) world cup qualifier for the 1998 FIFA WC which happened just over a week before this ODI. AUS were winning 2-0, someone came in & cut Iran goalnet. Match had to be stopped. After restart Iran scored 2-2 & qualified.
It's really strange that the official IPL handle hasn't yet posted about apparently the biggest trade that everyone has already posted about 3 days ago.

Brendan Taylor (age 40) and Craig Ervine (age 41) scored a century for Zimbabwe in the Test against Afghanistan.
This is only the second instance of two 40+ players scoring century in the same Test.
Previous instance:
Warren Bardsley (AUS), Jack Hobbs (ENG) in June 1926.
Made this thread 5 years ago and came across it on some 9zainalysis page on Instagram (apparently performance and biomechanics analyst) lifting it image by image. Tells me it's still a thread worth retweeting. So, retweeting it today.

It's staggering this photo isn't better known! One of the greatest photos from Test cricket’s first 100 years.
Gerry Hazlitt (cover point) takes a wild throw at the stumps to force Test cricket’s first tie. He misses and ENG win by 1 wicket.
MCG, Second Test 1907-08 Ashes.
What's this semi-circle running through the length of the pitch? Never seen something like this. From 1997 Australia vs SA Tri series game at the G.

While Delhi celebrates Diwali, thousands of delivery agents spend the festive night on the road, fulfilling orders.
The Indian Express spends a night with gig workers across the capital, documenting their lives, daily targets and how they celebrate the festival while on duty.

🚨 Anuj Shrivatri becomes India's 100th grandmaster
@SportsbyHT
Had been looking for the H/Ls of this Test since forever. @DMMordecai to the rescue as always. A Test with so many stories but this one where Langer, still playing under Slater's shadow, was plumb for a duck but umpire Harper didn't give it and went on to score a ton.
Oops. @DarrenMordecai is who I wanted to tag. Sorry to @DMMordecai for the wrong tag.
Uploaded on the YouTube channel after ages. Hopefully the first of many episodes with good friend @loganvanbeek

Another was how Shami played a Test match at Eden Gardens while his daughter was admitted to the ICU. He would spend the night with her and then rush to the match.
I was there at the stadium during the Test in 2016 - and Kohli would be leading the chants of Shami Shami, pointing to him, and then us. We did not know about it during the game, but such incidents and the passion towards the format is what made that such a golden era. It's breaking up, one by one.
