Welcome

Welcome to King Cricket: News for people who get sad when it’s winter.

As the sort of writing-about-cricket equivalent of the coin toss, we’ve started with a top ten. People love ranking things, especially cricket lovers, because they’re a little bit autistic and love statistics.

The top ten is of current players and the winner will be crowned King Cricket. We’re not going to go into the selection criteria too much, because somebody might read it one day and poke holes in our argument.

To offer a vague notion of what the title entails, all the players are unbelievably good and all are entertaining. Grit has no place here unless it’s so bloody-minded that it causes people to literally pass out through amazement.
