It was a rain-affected match and we didn't get to see full 50 overs action, still, people packed the stadium," Prasad recalled. "Moreover, the series was done and dusted in Kolkata (with India taking an unassailable 2-0 lead), and with the opponents being Sri Lanka many people chose not to come to the stadium." "Not a single ticket was left during the match against the West Indies. Kerala Cricket Association media manager Krishna Prasad blamed it on several factors including the "lack of interest" for ODIs. India defeated Sri Lanka in the 3rd ODI to clean-sweep the series by 3-0. #IndiavsSrilanka," Yuvraj, India's 2011 World Cup-winning hero, asked on Twitter as Shubman Gill closed in on a century in the company of Virat Kohli, who remained unbeaten on a scintillating 110-ball 166.

Crickonomics: A delightful book for cricket fans that also answers ... (Sportstar)

Authors Stefan Szymanski and Tim Wigmore, their book approach the sport with some brilliant research and arguments, backed by conviction, ...

We conceive of Crickonomics a then story of cricket’s fifth era: the sport in the new millennium,” reads the Introduction. The authors argue well how Sanath Jayasuriya and Adam Gilchrist transformed Test batting – but not T20 – with their sensational hitting as openers. – deals with Kane Williamson’s team making a mark by lifting the inaugural World Test Championship in June 2021. Wigmore and Szymanski continue their story, “Once in Italy, Arif and Khalil had to reach Essen, in Germany’s North Rhine-Westphalia. We stayed there about 12 hours, and we were taken to Italy,” the refugees shared their ordeal. Afghanistan qualifying for then 2010 T20 World Cup had fuelled their interest in the game. They walk for 16 hours from Quetta to cross the Iranian border. Says Wigmore, “Stefan and I were in contact for a number of years for articles and so on. In Turkey, the brothers walked for two days through woods before getting into a boat with other refugees. We realised there was a chance to combine our knowledge and skills and write a Freakonomics for cricket - similar to Soccernomics, which Stefan co-authored - using a combination of data and our own curiosity.” The two immensely eminent cricket minds come together to tackle subjects that engage your attention from the first page to the last. No - there’s more to enjoy in cricket than ever before.

As author Eric Midwinter points out, 'clown cricket' has basically been shunned by cricket historians, with only the occasional passing mention.

Midwinter introduces us to some of the prominent clowns, starting with Harry Croueste, who appears to be one of the founders of ‘clown cricket’. The most famous ‘clown cricketer’ was Dan Leno, who was also a huge star of the theatre. Or the importance to cricket lovers and statisticians of Arthur Haygarth, who was mostly dismissive of ‘clown cricket’, with rarely a mention in his seminal work – Scores and Biographies. This was a big production and involved a lot of support staff. I am not sure about theatre fans, however as a cricket tragic, I thought Midwinter explained the theatre connection of ‘clown cricket’ admirably. There is a definite crossover between cricket and the theatre with ‘clown cricket’.
