It began with chat.
Back in 1996, Rediff.com began covering cricket live, with ball-by-ball updates.
At that time, it was an innovation -- but what made it fly was when our tech team created a split screen version, with commentary on one side and a chat room on the other, the latter populated by hundreds of readers who asked questions, added their insight, and shifted the nature of cricket coverage to a participative, community-driven model.
Times have changed and tech has changed with it in ways impossible to quantify. But through all this time, and all this change, one thing has remained constant: Our belief that sport is participative; that the reader, or viewer, is as much an integral part of sport coverage as the presenter.
And so, welcome to the refurbished version of Stumps -- the post-game show hosted by Prem Panicker on Rediff.com for the duration of the Border Gavaskar Trophy series.
We will be live each day, immediately after close of play, with a recap and highlights of the day's play. But this is not about, or not merely about, what we think -- this is about you, and your thoughts, your perspectives, your take on the game.

There is no dearth of commentary on the Internet -- let's move beyond that and have a conversation.
See you on Stumps -- LIVE! Thursday, December 26, 2024 after the close of play on Day 1 of the fourth Test at the MCG.
