Cricket does not have a developed masters circuit like golf and tennis. Today we have seen the genesis of one. #AllStars

Too many sixes in the ground of home runs. It was a priceless match for the Americans to enjoy. New York is done and the next stop is Houston where the second Twenty20 match will be played on November 11.

This unconditional devotion towards Sachin Tendulkar is just an extraordinary thing - it hasn't worn off even a little bit #AllStars

Bowling change. Carl Hooper gets his first over.

After 7 overs, Warriors are 67 for the loss of 2 wickets. They need 74 runs in 78 balls now to clinch the first T20 match of the 3-match series.

Seeing the past cricket greats in #cricketallstars , you can't help thinking that quality of cricket has deteriorated a lot in today's times
