So wonderful and poignant for me to see this particular test and this specific day's play again after so many years. I surprised my father with some tickets the day before and he was so utterly delighted! We had such a lovely time together that day. Sadly, he died three weeks ago. A cricket lover to his core who passed that love on to me. He was my biggest supporter and mentor when I played, and my dearest friend as a cricketing fan. Goodbye dad.

Lovely story
Thanks for doing all these series!
It's treat to watch Test match in England
''You've gone for Ian Salisbury..''
Sadly day 2 did not go well, nor the rest of this test match
It was a similar story at the Oval two games later
England already had one part-time leg spinner to bowl filth (Atherton). What on earth did they need to pick Salisbury for?

That was 'spectangular'. Unexplicable to be honest
