Summary
Murdoch and Julia attend an amateur cricket match that turns into a crime scene when one of the players is blown up when his bat hits the ball, possibly filled with explosives. Murdoch suspects that the intended target may have been a Serbian count.
During their investigation of the strange case, the Inspector and Detective get a look at Constable Higgins' new posh lifestyle with the Mimico Newsomes.
Character Revelations

- Flirty and more playful with William these days, Julia now has some news for William, she is pregnant.
- Henry plays cricket with the gentlemen players and has named his bat 'Ruth'.
- Ruth has insisted that Henry take on a man-servant, Brewster, as part of his transformation. Henry is living the life he “…should have always lived.”

Historical References
- Cricket has been the United Kingdom's national summer sport for over 200 years.
- Serbo-Bulgarian war (Nov. 14, 1885–March 3, 1886), was a military conflict between Serbia and Bulgaria, which demonstrated the instability of the Balkan peace settlement imposed by the Congress of Berlin (Treaty of Berlin, July 1878).
- The Romani people (Gypsies) in Serbia.
Trivia
- J. Christianson's, the only sporting goods and apparel store in town, is named in honor of the Jordan Christianson, late MM writer and sports enthusiast, whose favorite recurring character was the late Roger Newsome. Murdoch Mysteries and fans lost both of Roger and Jordan during Season 10.
- Paulino Nunes, who played Carlo Corsi in Murdoch at the Opera, returns to portray a hotshot cricket player who doesn’t win any friends amongst the players on the pitch.
- A previously dead character re-appears, played by Cyrus Lane.
