The End of an Era

It's been such an extensive period of time. Looking through the two squads in the 2013 Ashes, so 10 years ago, you've got James Addison, Johnny Besto, Stuart Broad, a Joe Root part of it. Chris Wokes, this is 10 years to this game actually that Wokes made his test debut. As a group, if you just stuck just Butler in this squad now, they are the players that have carried English cricket through the last decade. They were there for the 2015 World Cup debacle. A lot of them are two-time World Cup winners, multiple ashes winners. It does feel like an era ending and I suppose the oval test often feels like that.
