Good Lord. What a win, what a performance.
While England produced a sensational comeback from their nightmare in Ahmedabad, India put the “wank” into Wankhede.
It’s moments like these that I really can’t understand fans of multi-garlanded football teams who expect success on a plate.
Travel to the far ends of the earth. Experience matches that are called off and impromptu tours of Betty’s Hope scheduled in their place. Experience chemical toilets that if existed in the UK you’d get years of therapy from having visited. Experience Lion Strong, warm. Experience defeats snatched from the jaws of victory or safety. Have the hope that kills you, kill you.
Take all this like a man. Compartmentalise. Then savour such a victory when it’s delivered with such gusto.
Thank you Cooky, KP, Monty, Swanny. Thank you Clarky, Gareth, One Golden Eagle, Chairman Mao, German Postman, Frank & Bruna, Andy & Jo. Thank you Lucky Paul and your daily pre-match Lucky Handshake.
Finally, an England win away. Huzzah!!!!!!
Onwards to Kolkata.

Quite simply welcome back Kevin, welcome back Monty !
If Patel isnt going to used for his bowling lets get a proper batsman in a 6, Bairstow to retain his place when Bell comes back from paternity leave and Patel to carry the drinks ?
You might want to keep a sneaky eye on them there Australians, they seem to be getting back to some sort of form and being lead by the only man who could challenge young Cook to the title of test batsman of the year ! Michael Clarke, 1200 odd test runs with 4 double tons in the calender year.
