I have cultivated a strategy which guarantees I always win at Monopoly: I lose as quickly as possible. The remaining players think I've lost, but they're wrong. I escaped first, so I win.

Good to see - this feels like the big test for the ECB this year... Can they match the experience of the rugby World Cup last year or the football one the year before?

Alyssa Healy shifted the dial to propel women’s cricket to its modern heights | Megan Maurice
The retiring wicketkeeper-batter’s nervous beginnings made way for her lasting impact on the sport – and an overflowing trophy cabinet
“I’m not cut out for this.”
This is not a sentiment that anyone who has observed Alyssa Healy’s long and storied career would have associated with such a champion of the game. But it was this thought that hit Healy early in her career for Australia, trying her hand at opening for her country for the first time and finding herself unable to hit the ball off the square, that demonstrates the depths of her humility and humanity.

Joe Root has had a curious series: two 100s, but only 96 in his other 7 innings combined. The record for "two centuries in a series and not much else" was set a year ago today, when Steve Smith made 140 and 101 in the home series v India, but only 73 in his other 7 innings.
