Pharvey seems to have gotten up to speed with it, and of course DTM. I don't know of any others on here, so just serves as a mention.

Hats off and cheers to that man!! What he's doing is true of any type of regular physical activity, it extends life!

Australian Club Cricketer Takes Six Wickets in Final Over to Win Match
"It is a cricketing miracle that could sit alongside Ian Botham 1981 or Ben Stokes 2019. But instead of Headingley, this latest incredible comeback took place in the humble surroundings of the Carrara Community Centre on Australia's Gold Coast.
Club side Surfers Paradise had victory in their grasp against Mudgeeraba in the Gold Coast's Premier League Division Three. Chasing 179, they needed just five runs from the final over with six wickets in hand to win.
Mudgeeraba captain Gareth Morgan had other ideas, taking six wickets in six balls to seal the unlikeliest of victories."

Not a big following of cricket fans on here, including me, but this is very interesting. It could just as well be posted in the engineering thread, because pure physics are involved:

Inside the science of what makes a cricket ball swing.
How many times have you heard the ball swings when it’s humid, when there’s cloud cover, when it’s dusk, or when one side of the ball is heavier than the other?
Some of these statements may be true, and some are blatantly false, but the scientists who have studied swing bowling say the aerodynamics that explain it is relatively straightforward despite the myths and mystery.
It all comes down to the world of fluid dynamics, and while it certainly isn’t rocket science, it took a NASA scientist to explain the aerodynamics of swing and reverse-swing bowling.
