 Cricket, as we call it, has recently changed beyond all recognition, but one of the most fundamental changes has not been noticed, or at least largely unquestionably. We all know that the elite cricketers of the world play very scary games, whether they are in the three forms of the international game or many of the Twenty20 leagues that are spread out as the Japanese Not Wade, but what to admit is how much time they spend. Usage The main reason for this may be that it is somewhat difficult to monitor: cricket net usage sessions, unlike games, are unscheduled, and are not limited to specific training days. Some players warrant one-on-one sessions with freelance coaches without even telling their national boards or coaches. But many of them live there all the time.

The below is a transcript of a talk given at NedTalks 'Creativity in Education' event, Winchester House School, June 2019. About 30 years ago, someone had a very good idea. It was designed to provide reliable access to clean water in rural South African villages. The invention was called a playpump; a roundabout which, when turned, drew water to the surface and stored it in a tank.
