Once in a rare while, Test cricket gives you days like these. The entire West Indies team racing into the deepest corner of the outfield, running in pure celebration, billowing out behind one another like streamers, only able to stop when the fence gets in the way. Winners by eight runs against one of the toughest home sides at one of the toughest away grounds, Australia in Brisbane, having finished the first session of the Test on 64 for five.
A couple of hours later, halfway around the world in Hyderabad, England complete another unlikely win against the only tougher host. It doesn’t matter which ground India use, any is a fortress, and England have come from 190 runs down on the first innings, bowling out India 29 runs from a win. Both Tests have been decided in the fourth innings with seven wickets from a barely known bowler in his debut series.
