30 minute doco on (Sir) Frank Worrell. More politics of colour than sport per se but still an interesting listen for the cricket tragic.

WHAT A GAME 🤯
With one ball remaining on day four, Glamorgan needed one run to pull off a world record run chase...
But a stunning catch from Gloucestershire keeper James Bracey saw the match end IN A TIE!
Gloucs: 179 & 610-5d
Glam: 197 & 592-10
And the final ball of the game:

Tim Seifert making NZ Cricket look like idiots by not selecting him for the recent T20 World Cup. Smashing it in the LPL

James Anderson’s last test starts tomorrow (in spite of the fact he took 7-40odd last week for Lancs), feels like it’s too soon but it had to happen sometime. Some lovely tributes pouring out of the woodwork, but jeez I’ll miss that grumpy bastard running in for England.

you will rarely see a more perfect seam position than what James has served up year after year for more than 2 decades.

Hard to believe he was at the 2003 World Cup with the likes of Alec Stewart and Wasim Akram.

One of the young English guys set to debut was born 4 months after Anderson made his test debut.

Andersons longevity is absolutely extraordinary. He also went from being just a good fast bowler to a truly great one. One has to admire that. As Boult, Southee and Wags declined he got even better.
Paddles still took more 5fers in 101 less tests though

Downvote.
Boycott is a pretty divisive figure in cricket but personally I always loved his absolute passion for the game.
Sad to hear he’s not doing well.
