Here are the slides from my lecture today at the Sports Econ class at the University of Portsmouth today.
DISCLAIMER: These were created by Claude, fed with my earlier presentations, articles, and my T20 Primer. I heavily edited the slides after.

One of the best innings I have ever seen
Johnson was bowling at the speed of light, our batters were hopping around looking terrified, and AB came in and made it looked like nothing
Lowest score at the fall of the 6th wicket to result in a men's Test innings win:
51-6 → 284, 🇦🇺 bt 🏴 by inns & 147, Sydney 1895
102-6 → 446, 🏴 bt 🇵🇰 by inns & 225, Lord's 2010
110-6 → 425-9d, 🇿🇦 bt 🇦🇺 by inns & 31, Gqeberha 2026
England pacers bowled a tad too short and wide, getting carried away by pace-friendly pitches. Travis Head made full use of it by using his trademark cut shots.
But as lengths went fuller and lines closer to the stumps, Head couldn’t play those shots because of early movement.
As chilling videos and allegations of minors beaten up, protesters kicked, lawyers denied entry at the gates, and phones being seized emerge from Pandwala Khurd detention center, @betwasharma & I document what happened last night to the protesters:

🚨 UPDATE
The detainees are being released after HOURS of extrajudicial torture & detention. This group of 50-60 detainees INCLUDES MINORS.
SPREAD THIS STORY EVERYWHERE. Let it bring us global shame.
Shame on you @DelhiPolice@AmitShah. Anyone with dignity would resign now.
This is the most horrific detention story you will hear today.
At 8 PM, this bus stopped at a community centre in Pandwalan Khurd (see photo).
Detainees fractured. Four minors present. Everyone barbarically beaten up. No lawyers allowed to enter.
This is how we got here. ⬇️
@dweplea The tail showed that there were runs to cashed in if one of the batters stayed for just a bit longer, especially with the in-game load management of the bowling attack
Sexual assault is being used as a means to suppress dissent, and it is happening brazenly whenever protests take place. I struggle to recall anything quite so shameful anywhere. This is worse than the conduct of several dictatorships. I genuinely have no words.
