As a headline writer, among my many other journalistic avatars (and notice how all the spongy Indians have gone from saying av-taar to av-a-tar), I say this England cricket team is the best, possibly the best ever, sporting collection.
Consider the names: (in order of your ancestors-were-obviously-publicity-hounds-when-they-decided –on-this) Sidebottom, Cook, Bell, Swann, Broad, Trott and Prior.
When you have seven players in a team that can each hold a 45-point six-column headline on their own, it’s tempting fate.
Alas, not even one of them did anything worth mentioning as England lost the fourth Test to (p)lucky South Africa.
