More Dr. Who cricket trivia I'm sure you're all dying to know: The 5th Doctor previously mentioned he was a "Chinaman" bowler in Four to Doomsday - this a left-arm slow delivery, as distinct from the right arm fast/medium pace the 5th Doctor bowls here, so maybe he's ambidextrous.  I also love Teagan's admiration at…
