You may be interested in Sir Donald's comment about a decision, made by my Uncle Frank, during the 4th Test for the 'Ashes' in 1948. See: http://www.nih.ww2site.com/Chester/Frank.html Gerry

But what a great game played by both sides! Seeing the two best teams playing with such a will to win. I rarely watch cricket, but was stuck to the chair over the weekend. I reckon it will be a tight one between a draw and a win. (I don't doubt Aussie bloody-mindedness (conviction?) when it comes to things like that.) Also pleased to see them playing in whites rather than lurid pyjamas. Richard
Yes, well done to England. They got the rain they needed in the final test. Not that I'm bitter of course.
Yes well done to England, it was as has been said one of the greatest if not the greatest series ever
Well guys, as thy say there is always next time. It was a great series and congratulations to England.
Sorry Spidge, but the has to be at least one photo in this thread. Commersations, but you can't not savour the moment (If you support England anyway) View attachment 1059 - this sums up the summer though. Great sportsmanship.
