The town that banned cricket

Jan 21, 2025 | wickets.substack.com | Estelle Vasudevan

Herbert Kilpin was born in Nottingham, in 1870. He worked in the lace industry. That led him to travel to Turin, in Italy in 1891 to work for Edoardo Bosio. An Italian-Swiss textile merchant who founded a football club called Internazionale Torino. So Kiplin started playing for them. He was the first recorded English player of a major club outside his own country. But then Kilpin moved to Milan, and after a drinking session with mates he decided to start a football club there.

Travis Head - the best all-format batter in the world

At the start of 2019, Travis Head was co Test vice-captain. Yet, after nearly two years, he was dropped from the team. No one ever talked about his vice-captaincy again. He looked like a lost talent—a batter who only wanted to slash square on the offside, while struggling against spin and right-arm seam around the wicket.
Mitchell Starc and the pink ball

Find someone who makes the pink ball talk the way Mitchell Starc does. With the red one, Starc is relatively ordinary in Tests. He is good early in the innings, can still get great bounce, and when cricket had reverse swing, he was good at that. But his record suggests that he’s slightly above replacement-level with the red ball.

What does India's win in the Perth Test mean for the rest of the series? Based on what we saw in Bengaluru, you would have to say that there is a good precedent for winning a Test by a huge margin, and going on to dominate the rest of the series.
No run(s) for Marnus Labuschagne?

Dec 5, 2024 | goodareas.co | Jarrod Kimber |Estelle Vasudevan |Shayan Ahmad Khan |Varun Alvakonda

Download Hitwicket Cricket Game 2024 - Be the Owner, Coach and Captain of your own Cricket Team | The Ultimate Strategic Cricket-Manager Experience | Not a fad. No ads. Marnus Labuschagne is dropped by Virat Kohli in slips off only his second delivery. With 150 runs on the board, dropping the number three is massive. For the next hour, Kohli gets to think about it as Marnus bats on. Watching a batter you’ve missed make runs is a special kind of frustration.
New Zealand finally win in India

Oct 21, 2024 | goodareas.co | Jarrod Kimber |Estelle Vasudevan |Behram Qazi |Varun Alvakonda

Ajaz Patel was the only New Zealand player alive the last time they went to India and won a Test match. That is an entire generation of pretty good cricketers travelling to India and losing. There is no doubt that the conditions played a part on day two, but so did New Zealand's fielding and Rachin Ravindra's counter attack with the bat. So to throw this win away as a fluke of the Bengaluru rain is unfair. Let's be honest, New Zealand have been coming to India for almost 40 years—to lose.
How New Zealand won the World Cup

Oct 21, 2024 | goodareas.co | Jarrod Kimber |Estelle Vasudevan

There is a moment just before the final ball of the World Cup where the cameras have a close-up on Suzie Bates. She's smiling in the way that you do when you realize that the job isn't done, but the actual hard work and everything else is finished. There is no way you can lose. She knew that she was just about to win a World Cup. Bates is an absolute legend of cricket. She has played more games than any other woman. She has been a great batter and at times a phenomenal captain.
How Rishabh Pant's six could spoil India's comeback

Oct 19, 2024 | goodareas.co | Jarrod Kimber |Estelle Vasudevan |Behram Qazi |Varun Alvakonda

Rishabh Pant hit such a massive six today that it could cost India their shot at one of the greatest comebacks in Test cricket history. I know that sounds ridiculous but stick with me. India collapsed for 46 runs—sorry for not giving a trigger warning. Then New Zealand piled on 400. Tim Southee alone outscored the entire Indian team, which is something that’ll always be funny. But because of all that, the pitch became easier to bat on. India came out with a renewed approach.
