Love Miles, but Prog was my bag at school not jazz, so I ain’t got them…..

We squeaked home by one wicket as I recall thanks to @athersmike carrying his bat…

Some long handle treatment for Hadlee but we still got thumped…

Remember Goochie getting chinned by Courtney Walsh…..but we won for a clean sweep. A brief fillip before the four captains debacle that was the Test series

Stone cold brilliance from Root to get England over the line with his highest ODI score (166) but also big credit to Jacks who stayed with him to take the game deep following that dirtiest of phrases in the modern game ….. ‘a period of consolidation’

The high point of the series for us…. A Draw

Incredibly, MOM….
