Sid Monga has a terrific interview with Ravichandran Ashwin in The Cricket Monthly. It is worth reading in full and at leisure. It has rightly been received kindly on Cricket Twitter. I write this quick note on my phone, on the bus, just to record what struck me about the interview and the reaction to it. First, Monga’s questions are resolutely about cricket - about injuries and their consequences to bowling and the player’s position in an extremely competitive environment (as one would expect a top Test team to be - brutal, unsentimental, constantly demanding), and about tactics and methods and their consequences. There are reflections on what people say, but those are never centre stage or accusatory. They are human reactions.
