@Corballyred You'll care how much he costs about 10 mins into a preseason friendly appearance when he hasn't scored. Mainly because you're never happy, hate the club and are the worst kind of fan
I've written a piece for @Nike, for their new Substack called In The Margins that is publishing new sports writing every other week.
The piece is on why you and I play cricket.

🚍Cricket on the buses.
A piece on the Windrush generation and a unique period of history where arguably the strongest club cricket in England was played between London Transport bus garages.
Thanks to @alextudorcoach and his dad Darrell for their time

My hot take is that Stokes bats 8 in The Ashes.
Seaming pitches. England decide they don't need a spinner so they swap Bethell in for Bashir. Means they get to pick the wunderkind, still have four seamers and have spin options in Root and Bethell
6. Smith+
7. Bethell
8. Stokes
An ode to Ben Duckett. He may not be underrated. But I do think he's under-appreciated.
An historic innings from a player who in my - potentially hyperbolic - opinion, will be remembered as one of England's best.
