'I bowled with blood smearing the ball.' That is quite the quote. Another great article.

Btw if youre ever looking for inspiration for someone to right about, consider Richard Beckett, the first first-class cricketer to be killed on active service. (In the Napoleonic wars)

This is what I was thinking of after Mulders (ludicrous) decision. Everything Lara did was for records, if there was one person who's record it would be fun to break it would be his

Thank you.

But also, that's exactly why I'm confused. Why are the teams winning the toss choosing to bat first so consistently.

Oh my. Thats ESPN cricinfo. But unless I'm missing smth, is that not what it says?

@jarrodkimber.bsky.social the only person I expect might know the answer. Any clue?

McGrath is the definite pick. Cummins has bowled as the first change bowler but I still think Bumrah might be more suited to the old ball better. And Walsh ofc.

The 7km away specialist coach. First Pakistan, now this.

Funnily enough. The only shocker here is Kane. If I were to blindly guess the top three for this stat I would've expected saud shakeel in here instead.

Ah alright. Thanks. And good luck for a followup on bowling. (Hopefully greenlit soon enough)

Can't wait to read about the best underarm bowlers and their strategies on uncovered pitches in the art of bowling (only gotta wait like 3 years I hope)
