    Hmmm. Wonderful result. Incredible, some would say. Almost unbelievable.

    Against India, I believe.

    In India, you say?

    Now I'm thinking that a chap who laid a wager on England to win after the first innings were over would have got awfully good odds.

    Indeed. More importantly, the chap who came out after the first day and said we were in a good position (Ben Duckett) and got pelted for it deserves a bit of credit
