There is a concept in Cosmology used to measure distances to far, really far away objects like other galaxies. It goes by the name of the Cosmic distance ladder. There is constant debate in cricket, in fact all sports, about comparing modern day greats and achievements to the ones from the years gone by. It's a tough one in the absence of good video footage and possibly affected writings. I'll attempt to bring about an argument in this blog to look at the debate from a different perspective.
Measuring distances is a crucial aspect of Cosmology - for one of the basic questions that Cosmology aims to answer is how big is the universe? There is only a certain extent that regular physical measurements will help out.

Cross-posting here from my blog (Cricket Stalker):
India embarks upon a rare tour of New Zealand this month, and the team has just been announced. In the old days, whenever India toured Australia, they would also tour New Zealand. Of course travel was much tougher, so if you'd already travelled all the way to Australia, might as well hop over to New Zealand and play a few games there. These days, the cricket calendar is so crazy, and driven by marketability, that we don't travel often enough to that lovely country.
Truth be told, New Zealand might be seen as the final frontier for this Indian team.

As you get older and more cantankerous, you can't be bothered to sit around, waiting for people to reply to your rather nostalgic, sometimes despairing posts. Hence I thought of this blog idea.
ICF being my passion, I have stubbornly resisted the idea of starting an independent blog. Actually, I did succumb once, but didn't give the URL to a single soul. There are 200 or so hits on it- all mine, or at least that's what I think.
Here's my refuge from the bad ole world then. Any ideas that crop into my mind, I'll drop in here. If you want to read, you are welcome. Don't feel obliged though. I can be the greatest of narcissists when it suits me- all in love with my own lil self.
