Cricket is a game of cosmic connections, or coincidences, as you will, of mysterious causes and effects. Shine will make a ball swing. But not always, and not predictably. Almost any substance will make it shine. Out-of-form players, who can least afford unplayables and shockers, cop them. If Richard Kettleborough says it’s out, it is. If Aleem Dar says it’s out, it’s not.
