Sports Talk

Five-day cricket is the greatest sporting format ever invented!

I will die on this hill! Five days! Weather! Pitch cracking! A team can be crushed on day two and still save the match on day five by batting all day!

No other sport has a draw that can feel like a win. No other sport makes you watch a man leave the ball outside off stump forty times and somehow it's tense!

T20 is fun, I watch it too, but it's fast food. five-day cricket is a five-course meal you eat very slowly while your PhD supervisor emails you.

Who is with me? And who is ready to tell me I'm old at 34?
