My partner’s been glued to her phone all evening, replaying clips of Charley Phillips’ spell in The Blaze’s One-Day Cup win. She played club cricket back in college, and swears that kind of tight line and length is the hardest thing to pull off. I didn’t get it at first. Then she broke down Phillips’ 8-2-17-1 figures for me, explaining every dot ball and wicket. Now I get why she’s grinning like she just nailed a perfect API call. Tonight, I’m skipping my usual code-themed love note to leave her a tiny cricket ball sticker with a heart drawn on it.
