Just a completely surreal moment in the Hundred right now.
Joe Root, one of England’s all time greats, is being interviewed mid match. Alfie age 9 wants to know if he has lucky pants. No, he says, out of breath while charging around the field.
Another commentator - I think Aatif Nawaz - asks what format he prefers.
Test cricket, says Joe. It’s the purest form of the game.
It is what it is, I guess.
I don’t want to "download the app" to pay for parking. I don’t want to "create an account" to see a menu. I don’t want to "provide feedback" on a 30-second interaction. I just want to exist in the physical world without a digital leash.
