Hurrah! It’s been a long time coming but England have won a Test match for the first time since THAT game at The Oval and this time we didn’t need Darrell Hair. Instead we won it with a bowler with lots of hair.

I’m seeing a pattern developing here. England could do worse than calling up Chewbacca and Cousin It for the next Test.

My prediction that KP would post a big one came true in this match with his double hundred. Sadly it didn’t help me with my bet but there you go…

Talking of my betting prowess, I had another shocker this weekend. I’d put a wee wager on the football play offs and had Bristol Rovers, Yeovil Town and West Bromwich Albion in a treble. I really need to give up. Either that or offer an alternative tip service where people pay me to tell them what I’m backing and then put money on the complete opposite.
