The Aubrey Faulkner and Ugly Australians pieces stand out in my memory:
The former because he lived an interesting life, but also because those stories are often dry and historical and this piece brought him to life.
The latter because it brought the personal to bear on something very topical.
On a non-cricketing front, the Greg Norman piece.
Test Cricket: The Unauthorised Biography was a good read.
More recently I've enjoyed the substack pieces that combine data with conventional story-telling, like the all-rounders post, and John Reid - which gave me a good understanding of his impact.

I'm sure there are others, but those stick out.
thanks, mate. You might like the latest Double Century episodes, they are a combo of data and storytelling.
They're on the to-do list.
