It was a home fixture for Bowral in the Berrima District (Southern Tablelands) cricket tournament, performed on a Saturday afternoon. Wingello, if nothing, was an even smaller country town than Bowral. The yardstick to take a decision on such things in those days was quite easy, and Bowral had unequivocal evidence in its favor. It boasted of 3-pubs while Wingello, which was further into the outback,…

Former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag trusts Delhi Capitals (DC) is the best IPL franchise for Kuldeep Yadav to revivify his international career. One of the shiniest wrist-spin talents in the world, Kuldeep’s international form began dipping around the 2019 ODI World Cup, culminating in him being completely out of favour in 2-formats by 2021.
