One of the modern great English batsman bowed out of test cricket with a century at the weekend , and a pace bowler matched the record for bowling people out ( taking wickets ) one of those great sporting moments with not a dry eye In The house .As a result of these achievements , Mick will e donating nearly £100,000 to a cricket charity. He can be very generous to causes close to his heart !

My my reckoning I think he will be donating £190k not £100k.

You may well be right - I stopped counting after £100k - but I think he will think it was worth it - magic day

It was a great test match and an entertaining series. I was there on the Saturday but sadly didn’t see Mick.

Watching England play India a bit like following the Stones - a risk of openers collapsing but they get back on track to be winners In the end
