The way this series has brought in spectators, viewers and listeners gives me hope that Test cricket is not dead,
That is important for players to recover but I don't think excessive international cricket is being played these days. The players are also being paid well now.
All these complaints about too much cricket nowadays is rubbish. In our days we yearned for more matches.
The matches have been so close and tensely fought that people not only in England but in other cricket playing nations are totally involved in its outcome.
