For Tymal Mills the glass is not just half-full but usually overflowing. A peruse of the YouTube channel he’s recently created where he talks about every aspect of his life as a professional cricketer, albeit one whose career these days is exclusively played in the T20 arena, reveals someone still in thrall to the game and how it has enriched his life.
