The twelve balls after a wicket get wasted far too often

The fourth spell is where fast bowlers break

The new ball spell should be longer than it is

Dot balls decide more matches than boundaries do

The wide yorker has become a lazy death plan

A career strike rate tells you almost nothing now

Strike rate tells you almost nothing on its own

The pinch hitter has quietly become a downgrade

The middle-overs field is where the match actually gets decided

Captains read the grass when they should be reading the sky

There is no such thing as a universal good length

Drop-in pitches made the game fairer and duller

Dew is the variable, not the coin

The doosra faded and off-spin got better without it

Bowling first on a dry pitch is not madness

Look at the soil before you pick your attack

Relentless accuracy is not the same as a plan
