Yup. What's gutting from an Indian perspective is that they won in India in our winter and then were 2-1 up with one to play in England, against a totally beaten pre-Bazball England team. Then Shastri went to a launch of his book and brought back Covid. So the series was officially ended, they played the last game the next year when we were Bazballing it and we won.

So that goes down as a drawn series - as opposed to India beating Aus then Eng away - all cos Shastri wanted to try to sell a few more copies.

Insane. Firstly, how many people in this country would buy his book, and how many more copies did he sell as a result? And secondly, as the main presenter on the IPL, the BCCI must pay him a fortune. It's not like he has to drive a rickshaw on the side to make ends meet.

So while we know India beat us at home, that's not what the record books say. He ruined would have been a unique double - I'm sure they've never beaten both Aus and Eng away in a year before - just in the hope of making a few extra quid.

SHÏT. They've scored a penalty that BBC radio says should never have been given.

Great. Parvati has totally sorted me out today, She should do it for the rest of AWIMB.
