Funeral, i think it was 1965, seeing it on the television and just being told about the great man. The World Cup Final of 1966, where the nation stopped, and in our own household, my brother had a sort of flirtation with meningitis which was very dramatic, as you know, those can be fora minute, and then he was fine, thank goodness. But i watched the World Cup Final in a neighbours house and ijust remember in both those cases, in belfast, as i was, i was very aware of a national event, or at least it seemed to galvanise everybody and everything, and i was looking at images that said, the world is watching. Wow. And you mentioned belfast there. Some people, i think, are still surprised when they hear that you grew up in working class belfast. Uhhuh.

When travis head and steve smith were batting together, australias victory certainly seemed feasible, even after a lengthy rain delay. The wickets of chris woakes in this match and in this series have really changed things in englands favour. And moeen ali did his bit as the last day spin bowler, despite his groin injury.

The fact is, the teams have been so competitive throughout the weeks, and thats whats revived this historic series. Well, stuart broad said he wanted to go out on top, playing on the biggest stage after a summer hes loved. Hes done just that in a series thatll live long in the memory. I made the decision on friday night you start thinking,
