Forty years ago, in a book called "Cricket Wallah", I gazed into a ball made of crystal rather than leather and made the following prophecy: "Not many years hence, although the game grew up thousands of miles away, India is destined to become the capital of cricket." Here I attempt again to predict the future shape of cricket. Twenty winters ago a…

The 1982 Royals, coming off two consecutive playoff appearances, were starting to age. Six position players who saw action in at least 120 games, and all four starting pitchers, were over the age of 30. The Royals served a lot of coffee in 1982 and these were the players who got it.
