Quote of the Week 🗨️

There was a period when Jofra was over bowled. I sat there watching it, and I'm thinking: what madness is this, that you are going to give this guy over after over," Bishop said. "You almost - I'm sorry to use this statement, I don't know how else to say it - you are killing the goose that lays the golden egg for you. I personally feel that I would not allow Jofra to think about red ball Cricket, at least for a while in the next couple of seasons. Its too much.
