I’ll note my fav “teaching” book was @econdavid’s ‘Invisible Learning.’ What a gift to have this degree of insight—delivered in a way to affirm really good teachers & inspire those who want to be better. I’ll pull off my own ‘Curious Case of Mexican Pensions’ class this spring.

Chris Green faced the most balls in Sydney’s innings (6) and was out for a duck - is that a first, and has any innings ever seen no batsman survive a whole over? @ZaltzCricket @norcrosscricket
All-out for 15 from 5.5 overs. A day to forget for Sydney Thunder 😬😬 #BBL12

England have smashed the record for highest run rate in a first innings above 400 (now 6.50, was 5.13) and in a third innings above 250 (now 7.36, was 6.28) in the same Test 😮 #PAKvENG

Phenomenal work - I batted in this game, and the pitch was doing all sorts. 👏

Burns has also completed a “golden over” of ducks, finally adding a 0(6) to his 0(1), 0(2), 0(3), 0(4) and 0(5) in the last 12 months
Thrillingly, Burns' run-out means that England have already got more ducks (four) midway through their second Test of 2022 than they had managed after two completed Tests in their record-equalling 2021 (three) #Ashes stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/en…

@FootballCliches Can you “hit” three? I thought you needed four or more to hit them, but maybe it’s different for a team who were classier than expected
Thanks Mirjam! So glad you’re enjoying it - tweets like this are the absolute best thing as a new author.

England getting exactly 66-2 in both overs 1-10 and 11-20 is timed to perfection: 20% of the runs (330) for 20% of the wickets (10) in 20% of the overs (50), twice in a row. #INDvENG
