Shakespearean tragedies and psychological torment
Russell Degnan writes of Test cricket's enduring appeal. It's worth a read, if only to reconfirm what we already knew...
The problem for people who don't understand cricket is that they really don't understand cricket. They see silly men dressed in white running around a field: characters speaking in pompous Victorian language. We see best laid plans, Shakespearean tragedy, heroism and psychological torment. Alas, 'tis their problem, nay ours.
