Third Test dramatic win at Headingley was like being in a WWII tank
THE emotion, the excitement and breath-taking drama of this summer's cricket is something we will remember for the rest of our lives. How could anyone who saw that brilliant innings from Ben Stokes against Australia a week ago ever forget it?
It was simply incredible, although - despite the predicament we were in when Jack Leach joined him at the crease — we genuinely never lost belief.
One thing I would say about this team under Joe Root’s leadership is that we have a solution based mindset — when we encounter problems we look for solutions. Put simply, we needed to find a way to win.
Back in Ian Botham's Ashes of 1981, England were 500-1 to win the equivalent match at Headingley. We arrived at Headingley on what would be the final morning with the odds at 5-1. Neil Fairbrother mentioned to a few of us on text that we were not out of the game, and, in fact, had 100 times more chance of winning.
