love a good googly - Mustaq Ahmed and Abdul Qadir, both Pakistani bowlers, were probably the best exponents I’ve seen.

Now you’re talkin’ - the players you mentioned are absolute legends of the game.

It really comes down to commercial viability. Here in the Caribbean only tourists and well off folks can afford to skip work and attend the longer formats. You’re not going to earn a lot through ticket sales in this case. T20 won’t be as popular in other markets where revenue generated from ticket sales for the longer…

Hitting sixes is a little easier now that we have roped boundaries than in the good old days when you had to hit it over the fence.

Born and raised in the southeastern US but somehow got into cricket when my work had me frequently in South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand. The T20 form of the game is my favorite and I was thrilled with the outcome of the world final, especially the 4 sixes in a row on the last over. There’s a rumor that the West…
