Happy Birthday, Pat Cummins : The Fast Bowler Who Rebuilt an Era When Pat Cummins burst onto the scene in 2011 & bounced out Jacques Kallis on debut, Australia saw a glimpse of something special. But after that incredible start, came six long years of injuries. Six years out of Test cricket ; a stretch that could have ended most careers... But Cummins came back. Not just as a tearaway quick, but as a complete fast bowler ; consistent, accurate, and reliable. He didn’t need the new ball to lead the attack. He did it with skill and discipline... Between 20 January 2019 & 20 January 2021 ; during the height of COVID and bubble fatigue, Cummins played 16 Tests, took 84 wickets at average of 18.8 & strike rate of 43.3. Even more remarkably, he never took fewer than 3 wickets in any of those Tests, despite having just two five-wicket hauls. He didn’t rely on big chunk of wickets; he just never failed to deliver... In 2021, when Australian cricket was still healing from back-to-back scandals involving its last two Test captains, Cummins took charge. A fast bowler as captain was a gamble; but he didn’t just handle it. He transformed it... Since then, Australia has played 33 Tests under Cummins and won 20 of them; a win percentage of over 60%. That’s elite company, especially considering he hasn't led an all-time great batting lineup like Steve or Ricky... With the ball, he’s led by example. Cummins has taken 130 Test wickets as captain ; the most by any fast bowler after Imran Khan... Here's one more stat that sums him up: in 21st century, only Glenn McGrath has a better average against top 3 Test batters (min. 50 wickets). McGrath’s average is 24.16. Cummins : 24.2. As his mother once told him; he went on to take the world. And he hasn’t stopped since. Not just winning games, but also winning hearts...

🚨When R. Ashwin and Ajinkya Rahane had a beautiful conversation 🚨 R. Ashwin🗣️: "Jinx, you've been grinding it out in domestic cricket and captaining Mumbai. How do you maintain that hunger for red-ball cricket year after year?" Ajinkya Rahane🗣️: "For me, it’s purely about passion. When you step onto the field, whether for India or Mumbai in Ranji Trophy, the ball and bat don't know what stage you're on. You just have to love the process of grinding out sessions, keeping yourself fit, and contributing to the team." Vimal Kumar🗣️: "People always talk about the famous 'Mumbai School of Batsmanship'. What makes Mumbai's cricketing culture so unique and tough?" Ajinkya Rahane🗣️: "It starts early. Traveling two hours one way in local trains with a heavy kit bag teaches you resilience before you even reach the ground! If you get out early, that long journey back hurts. That hunger to value your wicket comes from those daily struggles." R. Ashwin🗣️: "That mental toughness is why Mumbai produces players who excel under extreme pressure. We’ve seen it firsthand in tough overseas Test series." R. Ashwin🗣️: "How do you view the balance between young players coming through the IPL and the traditional Ranji Trophy grind?" Ajinkya Rahane🗣️: "IPL gives exposure and confidence, no doubt. But red-ball domestic cricket builds your temperament. To play Test cricket, you need patience and session-by-session discipline. Both formats complement each other, but the foundation always comes from multi-day cricket."

As the Connecticut Huskies attempt to win another national championship tonight against Michigan, Alabama Men’s Basketball fans still hear the echos of two years ago when the Crimson Tide finally crashed college basketball’s biggest event for the first time on April 6, 2024. Inside State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Ariz., the Crimson Tide’s breakthrough season reached its crescendo in its first Final Four appearance against the Huskies. As a No. 4 seed coming out of the West Region, the magical run ended with an 86-72 loss, but not before the Crimson Tide proved it belonged on the grandest stage. Mark Sears led the way with 24 points, five rebounds and three assists, continuing his March brilliance. Grant Nelson delivered a monster effort with 19 points and a season-best 15 rebounds for a double-double, while Aaron Estrada added 13 points as Alabama fought to keep within striking distance deep into the second half. Stephon Castle scored 21 points, Donovan Clingan had 18 and Tristen Newton controlled the game with 12 points and nine assists. When Alabama clawed back to tie it in the second half, UConn answered with a decisive run. “We got this program to its first Final Four, and I’m unbelievably proud of these guys,” Alabama head coach Nate Oats said. “We just went up against the best team in the country and they showed it.” Two years later, as Connecticut chases another title, that Saturday night in Glendale stands as more than a final score in Alabama history. It redefined the ceiling of a program and created an expectation to get back.

Happy Final Space Friday! Lots to update. So here’s the thing… since I legally can’t do a digital version of the comic, I’ve been digging into a little loophole: a motion comic. Like… an actual video version of the book. Still testing it, but Daz Tibbles did a rough test and is trying a few motion poster tests with other characters. If we pull this off, it’s gonna take FOREVER but it’s possible. That’s the key word here. Possible. And maybe worth it. Over on the Color Edition, the print file’s coming together clean. The whole focus right now is threefold: 1.Resizing 2. Color matching 3.And the “Zazz Pass” (if a tweak takes under 30 minutes, I’m hitting it). I’m building a punch list and should have some before/after examples to show off next week. It’s looking really good. On the Midnight Edition, we’re building out the UV Spot File for the cover titles on the front, spine, back, and yep, the shards of glass will glint too. Gonna look sick! Just waiting on the physical samples to land at my door so I can approve it for full print run. Also printer flagged 15 pages where the text bubbles were a little too close to the cut line, so I went in, fixed them, and sent them back. And yes, I asked about international languages. It’s doable, but that’s a whole other mountain would need to re-letter the whole thing. I’m shelving that until the English versions are fully out. Right now, I’m just keeping my head down and charging through the color files. Let me know what you think of Daz Tibbles tackling a full motion comic. -O PRE-ORDER HERE:

🚨Ben Stokes SPEAKS: Why he Had To Retire From England🚨 Stuart Broad🗣️: "Stokesy, how have you made peace with retiring right now when everyone thought you’d lead us into the 2027 Ashes?" Ben Stokes🗣️: "Honestly Broady, I’ve given so much of my heart and soul to the captaincy role. When I looked ahead, I was constantly asking myself, 'How am I going to survive until 2027?' It reached a point where I wasn't just physically cooked from over-training, but mentally drained. I didn't want to play for England if I wasn't the captain, and at 35, I was completely at peace walking away." Jos Buttler🗣️: "Was there a single moment during the summer where you felt it was time?" Ben Stokes🗣️: "At Lord's, after we won an epic match, I realized I was more excited to go and face the press media than to celebrate with the lads in the dressing room. That’s when it hit me—this isn't me anymore. The joy of playing for England was getting swallowed by external noise and non-stop duty. My wife Claire told me recently that for the first time in years, I'm actually mentally present at home with my kids." Stuart Broad🗣️: "What about the rumors of you and Baz McCullum falling out before he was sacked?" Ben Stokes🗣️: "Total rubbish! Baz and I are great mates. We would have heated, detailed cricket debates in the dressing room, and because people aren't used to seeing two guys disagree and then laugh over a drink five minutes later, the media created this huge narrative. In fact, if I hadn't made my decision to step down, Baz would still be the Test coach today."
