You know Dungeons & Dragons? Pretty nerdy, right? But imagine how much nerdier it would be if instead of monsters and wizards and stuff, you instead rolled up a cricketer to tour distant foreign countries. Now, that is a RPG. www.liebcricket.com/store/produc...

I will never tell again. Unless I've told that story before. Which I probably have. Good chat with legend that is Dan.

Have you ever wondered what the One Day International of board games is? No? Great. Because I eliminate that question once and for all in this breakdown of how asynchronicity influences the game of cricket.

Unless I’m mistaken, Kohli has already retired from T20 internationals, right? So now the only international cricket he plays is ODIs? That’s a boss move right there.

Kohli, you mad, incredible beast of a cricketer. You will be missed. (Having said that, it'll be fascinating over the next few days to see who the conclave of BCCI batting elders will appoint as Indian cricket's next Test batting icon.)

"When a specialist batter’s feted for the central act of hitting the ball, but also infamous for completely failing to do so, you know he’s covered a bit of ground over the course of his career." A great tribute to Rohit Sharma.

How long has the #IPL been going on? That fourteen year old child who hit a century earlier in the tournament just announced he was retiring from the game to spend more time with his kids.

I understand how the rankings are done, and I know Pat's been clutch with the bat since he was literally a teenager, but his appearance in the top all-rounder lists will always tickle me.

Reminds me of watching a subtitled rerun of the Cosby Show back when that was ummm an ok thing to do. Cliff was discussing sports greats with a Jamaican man who mentioned a legend the subtitles referred to as Cigar Field Sobers.

If a 14-year-old child can smash a 35-ball century in the IPL, then maybe a 7-year-old can hit one in seventeen balls? It's worth a try, surely. Wake up, IPL franchise owners!

I'm currently reading Tim Wigmore's new book Test Cricket: A History, which is pretty much what you'd expect from the title. Highly recommended. (This is not a paid sponsorship - I'm just very much enjoying the book.) geni.us/TestCricket

Yes, the Can't Bowl, Can't Throw podcast is on semi-hiatus at the moment, given the IPL's stubborn tendency to play all of its matches in time slots convenient for India fans (and inconvenient for those of us in Australia). But we did briefly re-emerge to determine the greatest cricketing knight.
