Writing for Cricinfo
< 1 minute readWe did a piece for Cricinfo. Almost inevitably it features Rob Key. The surprising part is that we had never previously submitted a Rob Key article to them. We have a 100% strike rate when it comes to submitting articles about Rob Key to Cricinfo. They are clearly receptive…
