It's an odd thing when the sporting and televisual highlight of the entire summer is England's cricketing exploits. Yet that's the situation we find ourselves in just now.
It's funny - for years the English team seemed to be specialists in a really dull game that focussed on desperately avoiding defeat. They finally drag themselves back up to a decent standard (getting to within touching distance of the best team in the world - albeit an Australia that is slipping from its best), and the coverage is about to disappear from free-to-air television.
I suspect it will be missed rather more than many people expect once it's gone.
