1/9) 🎙️It's been so inspiring to see this moment go that viral around the world. There's a few things I might not have got across in the moment on commentary that I wanted to explain as to what made it so special & why Nepali cricket should be so proud A #SpiritofCricket thread

Arrived safely into Bangladesh & definitely yet to come down from the most extraordinary day imaginable yesterday. From introducing the Prime Minister to the loudest, most passionate crowd I've seen and a cricket match for the ages, it was all just magnificent. Dhanyavad 🙏🇳🇵

So hard sum up the emotions after the most surreal end to today's epic contest I hope we did the ending justice on air but it really was mass confusion! Congrats to Nepal who qualify with 11 wins from last 12 but spare a thought too for Namibia who were brilliant through #CWCL2

So the curtain closes on Nepal's 1st ever #AsiaCup, no shame in losing to Pakistan & India. Nepal showed for healthy phases of both games that they belong at this level. The nation should be very proud. Special mention for the amazing 🇳🇵fans who outdid India's by 10 to 1 today

One of the great wins in Nepali cricketing history over a very strong West Indies side in front of 20,000+ with a truly unforgettable captain's innings from Rohit Paudel with 112 off 54 balls as Nepal chase down 204 to go 1-0 up in the series!!🇳🇵 Over 265,000 people online too!

I won't be able to find the right words to get across the enormity of what this will mean to Nepal 🇳🇵 But in the rather strange & cynical World we live in right now, maybe the greatest antidote is the sheer unabated joy of Nepal's heroic team and their historic achievement 🙏❤️

As England lost 6 wickets for 7 runs, I was next to an Irish expat sitting by himself. He was in his 70s and had moved to the UK when just 19, he turned to me with tears in his eyes & said; "I've been waiting 50 years for this day." It was that kind of day, truly extraordinary☘️
