Great interview on air with Mark Wood before play. He gave it everything on day one on what he called a ‘proper’ Test pitch and said afterwards his body felt like it had been smacked by a baby rhino! A bit of research tells me in the 1950s teams bowled their overs at 24.64 an hour in Tests in England. Colin’s the new BeefyWe got a proper look at Colin de Grandhomme’s magnificent mullet when New Zealand fielded. They have a simple domestic formula: six teams play 10 matches in each format.
