"Wood ball" makes inroads into China
The ICC is making China a target for development, and the Chinese seem to think this is a good idea. The Guardian sees this as part of a general picture in which cricket is moving away from a colonial backdrop. Whether that is a particularly accurate or useful observation is questionable, but I do like the quote used in support of it.
