When I interviewed Sachin in a car, Sourav in the dressing room, Azhar under a tree and Warne with the match happening in front of us. Those were best times to be a cricket journalist. I was fortunate indeed to enjoy such enviable access.. @sportstarweb sportstar.thehindu.com/crick…

A car ride with Sachin, a conversation with Ganguly during a Test and an interview with Warne while a match unfolded. I look back at a different era of cricket journalism.

My thoughts with my colleagues at BBC Sport - having also worked on those bulletins as part of the TV team, the best trained, and some of the most talented people in the industry work there. Brilliant storytellers who know how to do things the right way.

Herbert Sutcliffe is joint-fastest (12) to 1,000 Test runs. Opened for Yorkshire for 14 years. Against Essex (Farnes & Nichols) at Scarborough, went from 100 to 194 in 40 mins. After Sutcliffe’s onslaught, Farnes was in tears - “I’ll never make a fast bowler.” Gary Sobers broke Len Hutton's Test record with 365* vs Pakistan. Third youngest to Test triple ton. Crossed 400 runs in Test series 8 times. England's first professional captain never captained Yorkshire.

I never was the best batsman out of @YorkshireCCC there was Herbert Sutcliffe and Len Hutton.
