Sport has always offered a mirror to the human condition, and Sunday's Hundred fixtures held up two very different reflections. At Trent Bridge, a twin brother delivered the decisive blow against his own flesh and blood, settling old scores with a single audacious stroke in a match that cricket's compressed format made almost unbearably intimate. Across the country at Old Trafford, Jos Buttler reminded a watching audience that dominance, too, has its own austere beauty, as Manchester Super Giants dismantled Birmingham Phoenix with a ruthlessness that left little room for drama.
