Miscellaneous
Tangents include: The grievances of Monty Noble. The A.I.F. lifting the standard of fielding to a new level. Cricket meets baseball: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgx1QPaYpCI The biggest crowds at sporting matches. And because this is a White Line Wireless production, we spend a little bit of time fanboying over Glenn Maxwell (and Jonty Rhodes).Corrections: The ‘hot shit’ baseballer is Francisco Lindor. There are reports of George Bonnor hitting the clock at Lord’s: http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article213614058 but credit has to go to Albert Trott for being the famous Lord’s ‘clock smasher’ http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article128692122 The 286 runs off one ball is probably a myth, but given there are 1894 sources for it, I’m happy to allow it as part of cricketing history: http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article121617536 It was a São Paolo v Corinthians, but Corinthians is from São Paolo, not Rio.
