‘The Summer of 2011...’

Well, that wasn’t quite the end to the summer we were all hoping for. After their ten-wicket thrashing of the West Indies on Friday, everyone assumed that Sundays match would offer much of the same. Yet, the West Indian spinners had other ideas and England’s young-guns floundered under the pressure. Chasing a more than manageable total, they capitulated in a wave of panic. Four run-outs being the result. Nevertheless, one dismal performance should not detract from the fact that 2011 has been England’s summer. Winning every series, rising to the top of the Test rankings and beginning to look like a dominant force, the future is bright. The future is red and white.
