Most ppl here follow me for cricket reporting and/or bad WCE takes. But for the last 4 yrs, I’ve travelled around the world following 3-on-3 basketball. So I wrote a book via @PitchPublishing on how this quirky game became an Olympic sport. Check it out amazon.com/Basketball-2-0…

A T20 Africa Cup launching highlights the missed opportunity of England opposing a European equivalent. England have historically been behind the curve again and again on globalising the game, hampering cricket's growth. This feels like yet another example

@trislavalette Great article Tristan!! Whereabouts would the 5,000 extra seats go? Next to the scoreboard like when the Scorchers played there? I wonder what the minimum attendance is that makes playing at Optus Stadium viable?
