Cricket/Expert Profile
Expertise
I can answer questions on records in all three formats (batting, bowling or fielding), scorecards of old matches (1876-77 onwards for tests, 1971 onwards for ODIs and 2005 onwards for T20Is), player debuts etc. I can answer questions on the laws of the game too though my speciality is primarily aimed at the statistically inclined.
Experience in the area
Cricket is purely a hobby since I was hooked in 1989. Since then, I have cut each scorecard and picture of the game that has appeared in any newspaper - making it around 19 years now.
Education/Credentials
English Honours from Delhi University
