exactly!
In years to come the narrative will be how the Poms saved cricket by organising a tour for the beleaguered CWI.
Unless of course, they lorse.
Then, like wives on Stanford lap and shattered hopes of a million dollars each, “this was always a mistake mixing with these banana republic folks!”
Knock dem dong Kemar!
