Shades of fandom: how our opinions about cricketers change over time
Manage episode 363972071 series 2703051
Some cricketers we love at first sight; some, we take time to appreciate; others, we do not understand the fuss; and still others are quick to get under our skins. Often, we review our views over time - and often surprise ourselves by changing our opinions about cricketers.
Kapil Dev, Ishant Sharma, Ravi Shastri, Ian Chappell, Rahul Dravid, Sachin Tendulkar, Mohammad Azharuddin, and Steve Waugh - all formidable cricketers. All of whom we have changed our minds over at various stages. And all of whom we focus on in this episode - to understand the evolution of our fandom.
Talking Points:
- What Kapil Dev chasing Hadlee's record meant for many young fans
- The staggering image of Kapil being a combination of Bumrah and Pant
- Ishant Sharma's arrival in Test cricket - and the 'trolling' years that followed
- Post-2016 Ishant - the most improved Indian cricketer this decade?
- The Ravi Shastri stereotypes - and how it is easy to be trapped by all of them
- The legendary forthrightness of Ian Chappell
- Rahul Dravid's purple patch - and why that record needs to be revisited
- Mohammad Azharuddin: a glorious rise, an inglorious fall
- Steve Waugh and the danger of hyping 'mental disintegration'
- Sachin Tendulkar - the slow journey from hero to mortal
