Williamson, along with his twin brother Logan, featured in articles in the Bay of Plenty Times following strong performances in cricket, rugby and basketball.

I like the fact that Kane has a twin brother out there who, from a cursory Google search, appears to have given up his sporting dreams to become an accountant.

When Senanayake got done for chucking they genuinely thought that it was an English conspiracy

To be fair it's entirely reasonable that the recent crackdown on chucking was a conspiracy.

I wonder how the Windies would be looking in this WC if Narine hadn't pulled out b/c of concerns over his action. He took 6 wickets for 9 runs in a match in their domestic 50 over comp pretty recently.

My favourite cricketing memory will always be the day the 13 year old opening batsman of the opposition had a tantrum on the field after being given out caught at second slip but claimed he didn't hit. He argued with the umpire (our coach) and then started crying when he wouldn't change the decision. Took off all his gear on the pitch and sat down. Eventually his Dad had to come out and carry the kid and all his gear off.

Humble beginnings for Stuart Broad.
