There’s a page or two left yet to turn in the cricket season, three final one‑day internationals between England and Australia, and the lees of the County Championship, which ends this weekend. It’s all due to finish at stumps next Sunday, eight days’ autumn-side of the equinox, although whether the weather allows it is another question.
The story of the year includes three Tests against a West Indies team who were a little worse than expected, and three against a Sri Lankan side who were a little better, four thumping victories in short order, one match at Old Trafford that looked as if it might go close, and the solitary defeat by eight wickets at the Oval.
