Busting the no-ball myth: Kapil Dev, Imran Khan, Dennis Lillee, Ian Botham, Lance Gibbs had all erred – By Abhishek Mukherjee   Source:Cricketcountry Data is the most potent tool available to researchers. Unfortunately, data can also be dangerous, since most of us tend to believe whatever is thrust on our faces.
