It has been an incredible summer of international cricket.
England ODI World Champions; Super Over finish; heroics from Ben Stokes.
An enthralling, fluctuating Ashes series. Steve Smith (boo…oh, but he is incredible); Stokes’ batting (again). Jofra Archer’s pace. Amazing, impossible catching.

It doesn’t matter the level of competition, or the venue — cricket is a game played best when it is played “properly”, whatever the context.
It can seem like a cliche, but playing every game, every moment, as if it could be your last on the playing field.
