Kuldip ... England might find it easier to play spin with the lights off.

If the lights go out at the Narendra Modi stadium just as a ball has been delivered, will a batsman be reprieved if he gets out ?

Fabulous podcasts lately. The McIlroy one was superb. The best bit is when Lawrence says "just one last question." Then you know you have at least half an hour to go.

This week's guest on the podcast is @McIlroyRory . We talked about plenty, from his appreciation for great golf course architecture to his belief that artistry will prevail over power at the very highest levels of the game.

"The removal of the Russian was driven, in part, by concerns that President Donald Trump and his administration repeatedly mishandled classified intelligence and could contribute to exposing the covert source as a spy."

A touch of Cardus: “not for the first time, much of the country now finds itself pondering the inadequacy or impoverishment of a life untouched by the drama of cricket at its best.” on the second Headingley miracle.

It really is no exaggeration to say if you take Archer and imagine four in the same team , and another four in the wings ,then you get a flavour of Test cricket in late 70s and 80s. Lends context to the brilliance and courage of Gooch, Lamb, Smith, Gower etc.

Nine ODI centuries at a superb strike rate. Only England are perverse enough never to have selected the brilliant Jason Roy for a Test Match, despite the obvious unsuitability of just about everyone else they have tried.

Time for more Day/Night Tests? Increasingly people want comfort at the stadium and aren't prepared to sit out in the sun all day. And the pitches provided for the pink ball produced far more interesting cricket. Seems like a win/win.

NHL referee Dean Morton has thrown two checks at players from the Ducks-Rangers game. Maybe it is time to revisit the two referee system. Is there enough room for 14 people on the ice at once? #NHLDucks
