How brilliant? I kind of worked out what had happened just from the headlines (i.e., it had to be related to the No Ball). I then read further … & I was right to an extent. So beautiful. So classic. So CRICKET. Wow. Just love it. Made me so happy.
I have always maintained that cricket is chess played on a large field. Very cerebrial.
It is NOT just “crash-bang-wallop. Thank you Ma’am” (though T20 does make it look like that). There is so many intricacies. This is a great example. No wonder cricket will always confound the Americans — though the current U.S.A. cricket team, made up mainly on ex-pats, are doing quite well.
