Robots bowling the perfect doosra are some way off but AI is already reshaping cricket - AOL (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Daniel Kokotajlo, a former researcher at OpenAI, warned last week that it was possible we would end up “creating a new species that ends up ruling the world”. Once the initial shock wore off, and I’d considered what this could mean for my young children and the future of the planet, another thought popped into my head: will this new species be able to swing an old cricket ball or navigate a seaming green top? It sounds frivolous. It is frivolous. But the question is not quite as ridiculous as it
‘The cycle repeats’: England’s troubles with spinners are leaving a generation behind - AOL (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It is the eighth over of South Africa’s first innings in Gqeberha in January 2020 when Joe Root tosses the ball to 22-year-old Dom Bess. Three overs later, the decision pays off. With the final ball before drinks, Bess takes a return catch to dismiss Pieter Malan. In the final over before the close, he has Zubayr Hamza caught at short leg. The next morning, Bess removes Dean Elgar, Faf du Plessis and Rassie van der Dussen to become the first English spinner to take the first five wickets of an i
Empty seats and faded aura show how Springboks outgrew the All Blacks - AOL (opens the original)
Read excerpt
South Africans are supposed to care about the All Blacks more than this. On Tuesday night 14,759 people dotted the 52,000-seat Kings Park Stadium to watch New Zealand dismantle the Sharks 54-0.

Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry – the eight-match tour by New Zealand, culminating in four Tests, including one in the US – is an attempt to tu
Biryanis, bhajis and braais: diverse culinary culture is at the heart of cricket - AOL (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Twice a day Joseph Joffre, France’s military supremo during the first world war, would stop whatever he was doing and sit down to eat. No matter how perilous the situation at the front, or how many maps and generals required his attention, lunch and dinner remained fixed points in his day. To most people, this sounds ridiculous. But to anyone who loves cricket, Joffre was simply a man who understood the importance of an interval. Cricket is the only major sport capable of building towards unbear
Schmidt leaves repaired Wallabies with gifts of Canham and Lonergan for Kiss - AOL (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Australia ended the Joe Schmidt era like a struggling restaurant producing one of its finest meals on the night the head chef handed back his keys. Everything came together: the service was sharp, the ingredients were handled with care, but loyal patrons left wondering why the place could not function like this every week. Italy were swept aside 57-10 in Perth on Saturday. Josh Canham completed a hat-trick as the home side produced the sort of precise, powerful performance that offered a tribute
