After being in winning positions on numerous occasions at Edgbaston, in post-match interviews Root said he was expecting a really good response and expecting a really good show!
But unfortunately, the weather intervened in what was a great test match nevertheless!
As I predicted the Ashes will be a roller coaster which will ebb and flow, but no one could have predicted the sequence of events that unfolded in the first test at Edgbaston.
This most go down as the most amazing game of cricket anyone has ever witnessed. The game went one way and other in the most nail-biting climax the game has ever seen.
The last couple of months we have been preparing behind the scenes on four fronts -NZ, SA, SL + Aus and all that after two very busy and successful tours to Sri Lanka & the Caribbean!
The tour started on 22nd February we had 20 people in St Kitts and we became friends instantly, a couple of warm up games, a lot of local banter and several beers later we were on our way to Antigua.
Now the sun has gone down on the English Cricket season, it's time to reflect... test wins against South Africa and West Indies, but that does not really tell the whole story.
