With so many Aussies on this list, we shouldn't crow. But after all, they've
won the series and beaten us at everything else recently, so what the hell!
That was some innings by Mark Butcher, wasn't it? I was supposed to be
working, but ended up watching nearly all of it. My theory is that he was
possessed by the spirit of Botham revisiting the scene of his greatest
triumph twenty years later. Which begs the question of who Botham was
possessed by at the same time, and whether anyone noticed.
Best wishes
Matthew
