Even by your lofty standards, this is a banger of a newsletter and a great way to end a pig of a week at work- thanks. Oh, and you have my undying support for calling them the correct name: Easts.
I watched the T20 (even worse, not live - I had recorded it but didn’t know the result). My only excuse was that I was recovering from a migraine and needed to watch something that didn’t make my brain hurt too much. Fitted the bill. When Santner pulled off a terrific caught and bowled, there was virtually no celebration by the players and no crowd noise (courtesy of virtually no one there aside from ground staff and possibly people related to players) - I thought it was a bump ball. I won’t be worrying about the other games too much.
