The Magic of Test Cricket

Both teams have almost forgotten how to get too far ahead of the other one. It's almost like it's created this zone within itself, this sort of chaotic rhythm. The teams are constantly pulling each other back and forth. I'm glad you brought up Moge and Labusha in Smith because that was almost exactly halfway through the series. Then batting in the second innings of the third test for me when you realized there is no way they're going to set a massive total at Old Trafford. But Smith and Labusha played really sort of out of characters shots and you suddenly realized like, oh, this series has got its own magic of its own.
