Why are the pitches so flat? They would slaughter us if it was spinning. But the Indian administrators would probably rather see 330 plays 330 and risk their team losing.

Oh, we’re collapsing again. Of course.

A proper cricket’s back is winged.

Yep. Having children.

It dredged up many a memory and also provided a different perspective on several of those events.

It sets up/labours the importance of context.

Speaking of Rob Key, the (so-called) ‘World’s Best Cricket Club’, with Simons Hughes and Mann, invites somebody from the world of cricket for a Zoom interview and quiz each Thursday. Tomorrow they’ve got Rob Key.

You have to be a member on Patreon or something to attend live, but the interview tends to appear on YouTube afterwards, if anyone wants to hear him try to guess what his second-highest Test high score is and how many wickets he took for Kent.
