Dot balls cost more than boundaries earn

The hard length beats the yorker more often than anyone admits

Losing two early costs less than the caution it produces

A wicket in the middle overs is worth two at the death

Pinch hitting was never really about the hitting

Field restrictions decide innings more than pitches do

The watering can decides more matches than the toss

Clay content sets the clock a pitch runs to

Drop-in pitches are solving a problem cricket did not have

The toss is not the unfairness worth fixing

Flight beats turn as a way to get a batter out

Spinners now bowl not to be hit, and it shows

A good economy rate is often a bowler hiding

Line and length is a plan for another game

Seam movement belongs to the ball more than the bowler

Boundary percentage flatters the wrong batters

Death over economy is mostly a fielding number
