“The ball was coming out really well today and my rhythm was good. I felt really good and enjoyed my bowling. We had specific plans… we were very disciplined and we hit the nail on the head.

#TestCricket is here again!
Compared to media stalwarts like Tony Becca and the late Tony Cozier, I am a novice. Besides, unlike them, this has not been my career, just a way to pass the time. Nonetheless, if I happen to be in the same country that a cricket match will be played, there are usual steps to take […]
