For years, players have been taught to play on through injuries. The stern words of advise were clear - latch on to every opportunity to make a mark, else someone will. Stranded in this highly competitive realm, a sportsman has no choice but to ignore any such niggles and obstacles to reach the zenith. The drive to be the best forces them to push harder and harder until injuries become yet another hurdle that has to be breached.
2018 has been a roller coaster year for Hong Kong cricket. They endured heartbreak by losing ODI status at the start of the year during the World Cup qualifiers, but bounced back with a sparkling effort to clinch the only spot for the upcoming Asia Cup, beating UAE in the final of the qualifying tournament. It will be their first appearance at the continental tournament since 2008 and with powerhouses India and Pakistan in their group, it will be a trial by fire.
If this was not an opposition team ripe for the picking, it’s hard to imagine what is. India had the potential to beat this England team in England, and yet they lost 1-4, which is what has left fans deeply frustrated. As if to pour fuel on the fire, Ravi Shastri, the coach, and Virat Kohli, the captain, continuously talked up their team, occasionally being disrespectful to past Indian teams who had toured England and achieved so much more. If the fast bowlers were consistently excellent and Kohli magnificent with the bat, scoring 593 runs, just why does the scoreline read 1-4?

By the time he hung up his boots, Warne had picked up 708 wickets in 145 Tests at an incredible average of 25.41. In One-Day Internationals, he finished 293 wickets in 194 outings at 25.73. He was a more than handy lower order batsman as well.

Five Test matches, five lost tosses. While Virat Kohli’s form with the bat during the series was remarkable, his form at the toss was particularly wretched. In fact, even in South Africa at the start of the year, Kohli lost two of the three tosses in the Test series.
