Story
The IPL has expanded, but Australia's Big Bash is contracting; the 2023 men's Ashes were concertinaed into a tiny window but The Hundred continues to dominate. Is there still hope for Test cricket in this tumultuous sporting landscape? Turbervill recalls the poignancy of the final Test of the English summer at The Oval in 2022, and describes how the match could be seen as a metaphor for the demise of the longer game.

Story
Tucked away on the shores of Cape Cod Bay lies one of the greatest amateur athletic organizations in American sport’s history. Welcome to the 101-year-old tradition of the Cape Cod Baseball League. This great tradition was built on the values that have made our great nation so special. Within the confines of the Cape League there is a quaint and sleepy town that that doesn’t even have a red-light. Every summer, this special place produces some of the greatest players in Major League Baseball history.
