I have said two matches is not a series, and today it is all I can think of.
This could have been one of the best series in the history of world cricket; instead we are stuck with two games.
Look at what we got:
Batsmen playing so well you feel they don't even need to be looking at the ball to hit it.
Both team collapsing at times.
Fast bowlers bullying the opposition at times, then getting smashed.
Spinners controlling the scoreboard.
One team takes the first game, only for the second to grab the second in tight finish.
Two teams who are evenly matched fighting for the prestige.
Poorly choreographed cheerleaders who didn't seem to want to be there at all.
Oh, this was a series.
It is just a shame that Pakistan and England only chose to play 2 games of 2020 cricket, think of how great this would be as a 15 match series (to the death).
2020 cricket, there is just never enough.
Buy the book, get a t-shirt, or donate to the whisky fund.
