I think the team, and especially Butcher, must have been inspired by the tv program about Ian Botham on Sunday night. What gutted me though, was that I have followed every sad test of this series, even managing to watch on satellite from Portugal and Greece, but yesterday was the one day when I was completely cut off from any radio or tv contact and what happened? Got home to find it was all over and I'd missed the most exciting English innings for 20 years (well almost)! What is it about Hussein's captaincy that so inspires his men? Time to celebrate! Jacky
