Had lunch with a friend today at Bâoli Dubai. A mix of Mediterranean and Thai cuisine. JUST OKAY.

ONE FOR ALL, ALL FOR ONE Dr. Rudi Webster, Clive Lloyd, Viv Richards, and Deryck Murray share a toast during their time in Kerry Packer's World Series Cricket. #Cricket #CricketTwitter

1992 - FIFTH TEST, THE OVAL Derek Pringle outfoxed by Wasim Akram's round-the-wicket reverse swing. Not even a great top-order batsman could handle that. #CricketTwitter #Cricket

@realomerlatif Back in 1987, did you watch this Test? Pakistan batted very slowly. RR was less than 2 per over.

1986/87 - On the fourth day of the 4th Test at Ahmedabad, Sunil Gavaskar appealed for calm over the PA as crowd unrest halted play. After resumption, six Pakistani players took the field wearing helmets. #CricketTwitter #Cricket

1993 - Ian Healy rushes to congratulate Shane Warne after the remarkable dismissal of Graham Gooch, bowled by a leg-break that pitched at least two feet wide of the leg stump, and left the English press lamenting the likely loss of the fifth Test. #CricketTwitter #Cricket

The 1990/91 Australia vs West Indies Test series in the Caribbean was billed as the unofficial world championship of cricket. It turned out to be an acrimonious affair, with both teams sledging each other right from the first Test. #CricketTwitter #Cricket

A CIGARETTE...PLEASE! 🚬 1973/74 - THIRD TEST, AUCKLAND One down in the series and facing a must-win game on a green pitch that his captain Ian Chappell declared unfit for Test cricket, Doug Walters stepped onto the field with his team struggling at 4/37. He went on to score a

SO CLOSE AND YET SO FAR 1992/93 - At the Adelaide Oval, Allan Border watches in anguish as his best chance to topple the West Indies fades away. #CricketTwitter #Cricket

@allanholloway Who has the most wickets on debut for England and Australia?

Terry Alderman made a striking entrance in the 1981 Ashes, claiming nine wickets on his Test debut, a remarkable and rare achievement. He went on to take 42 wickets in the series, the most by any bowler since Jim Laker’s 46 in 1956. #CricketTwitter #Cricket

1971/72 - At the MCG, Graeme Pollock prepares to face a thunderbolt from 22-year-old Dennis Lillee, who had already made his mark bowling to some of the greats in this unofficial series against the World XI. #CricketTwitter #Cricket

1986/87 - In the final Test of the series at Bangalore, Sunil Gavaskar, playing his farewell Test, went out for the toss with Imran Khan instead of captain Kapil Dev. Is this the only instance of a non-captain doing the toss? #CricketTwitter #Cricket

1975/76 - The West Indies thought they had him caught, but Ian Chappell stood his ground, refusing to walk. It was a moment that would go on to change West Indies cricket forever. #CricketTwitter #Cricket

@Marcus60s70s80s @dohagames Can you identify them all?

1978/79 - Suits, ties, jackets, bell-bottoms... the Pakistani team under Mushtaq Mohammad arrived in Australia for a short tour, featuring two Tests against an Australian side depleted of several top players due to the Packer affair. #Cricket #CricketTwitter

The 1997 Asia Cup trophy looked less like silverware and more like a pot ready to slow-cook some Hyderabadi biryani. Arjuna Ranatunga already had his eyes on it. 🍲🏆 #CricketTwitter #AsiaCup2025 #AsiaCup
