1 lurker | 108 watchers

Nicholls595 Oct 2016 8:01am, 13 Oct 2016 8,035 posts	0 Nicholls595 A series win Never in doubt Watching (or listening to, or even following on the BBC live text) England isn't the same without an element of jeopardy. A big part of the fun is being convinced they are going to win, then 2 overs later, watching a collapse from behind the sofa. Happy days.
