No better man to explain ‘Bazball’ than Andrew Miller, the man who coined the phrase! What do you think? Better to play exciting cricket and lose? Or is the result the only thing that matters?

In more than 18000 games, the New York Yankees have only ever seen 13 no-hitters. The one-handed Jim Abbott threw one of them; surely one of the most extraordinary feats and careers in the history of the game. Happy anniversary, Jim! cnn.com/2023/09/04/spo…

I remember this day so clearly in 2017, Coco had just lost the US Open juniors final and she was pretty down about it. But she had so much maturity, class and poise - even at the age of 13, that it was obvious she was destined for greatness. Well played Coco, just amazing!!
