I’ve never been much of a sports viewer, but headlines have always been my hook. So, while the records Sri Lankan bowler Muttiah Muralitharan set in the 1990s and 2000s meant little to me, I was absorbed by the news reports of the three rounds of biomechanical testing he underwent to prove that his “doosra” wasn’t bending the rules.

New Delhi, May 17 -- We were heading back to the lodge in the Manyeleti Nature Reserve when the ranger called out "Teapot!" and pointed to the sky. After a day of learning bush-walk signals and identifying edible plants and animal spoor-the giraffe's is 23cm long, the elephant's looks like stodgy table legs and the rhino's is surprisingly elegant-I thought the ranger was testing our knowledge and I'd forgotten some call.
