barbecue battle cricket garden guy inside longer looking momentous ordinary rush struck test watching weird
We actually had a barbecue that Sunday. I was out in the garden while a lot of the other blokes were inside watching the cricket on TV. Every now and then someone would rush out and shout, 'Another wicket's gone.' I was struck by how weird it all seemed. I really was no longer a Test cricketer. I was just some ordinary guy looking after his barbecue while this momentous battle unfolded at Trent Bridge.
