Talk of expanding the T20 World Cup to 32 teams, 2028 seems mighty early to consider that, but I’m down for this

So in the series just completed, Gill made >700’runs, Siraj took >20 wickets, Brook took 11 catches and England won 5 tosses.

In 1966, WI toured England. Gary Sobers made >700 runs, took 20 wickets, 10 catches and won all 5 tosses. Decent all round series tstl.

I believe he recently celebrated his 89th (?) birthday. So this post of mine is wishing him well and bat on for the century.

Is Mushfiqur Rahim the last cricketing holdout of the mid 2000s heyday of CW? I think it might be the case. He really is the LeBron James of cricket.

Also, is anyone really believing he is only 38 years old?

There's Sean Williams (2005) and Brendan Taylor (2004), but I think that might be it for full-member nations. Unless you count Rohit Sharma (2007).
