More polecat action

I've played with Wayne for 10 years. He took his 1st international wicket in this game, and went on to take over 50 more back in England, easily beating his previous best season of 32. He has an "unusual" bowling action, hence the nickname Slo-mo Bumrah

Day 2 of the tournament in Dambulla and I switched sides and played for the other England team against the Barmy Army. I was pleased to finish off a run out and a stumping.

Later on, esteemed cricket journo @georgedobell.bsky.social described the run out as "smooth", which was a definite highlight
