The Spin | Off the scent: how Atherton and Katich thrived in cricket without all senses intact
Briefly

A casual walk by the River Goyt triggers nostalgic memories through the sense of smell, particularly from the nearby Swizzels factory.

As spring arrives, it brings forth memories of the cricket past and promises the joys of the upcoming season, reflecting the beauty and pleasures of life in the changing seasons.
