Like we all respected Ben Stokes decision to not play this series due to mental health concern, we should have some respect for the Indian team too. The players and the family have been part of bubble after bubble. Australia Series, IPL, England Series, WTC, England Series again.. will be part of IPL, WC, NZ series next all within 10 days between them. I am proud of my team that they never complain how much the tweaking bloody money makers use them.
This series was absolutely thriller, England were a fantastic host. Lets not ruin this great series by blaming ECB or BCCI. The only thing I am sad about is the way this was handled. I feel bad for Manchester public, the ground staff who would have sweated and toiled hard to make this happen.
On a bright note for ECB fans, Ben Stokes and perhaps even Archer might be in the XI next year when we return. So the final test would be a thriller. Great series, had fun chatting about it here. Onto the next!
