Are you watching it at your Dad's or with BN, is he interested in cricket?

Big Nephew's not terribly into sport at all.  He likes the athletics and will watch most things if the rest of us want to, but he supports no particular footie team, doesn't understand the offside rule and has no idea what a silly mid-on, gully or googlie might be.   ;D 
 
Dad's just back from a posh Hotel break, so I am at home and Skyless, checking BBC Sport for occasional updates.  BN is out and about until about 5pm when I get to cook Mexican for him tonight, so I might nip  and see a few overs live before I return to sizzle marinated turkey strips and mash avocados and make tortilla wraps.   ;)

The umpires did right, the decision was fair and the rules must be upheld, but AAAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHH that ending was so frustrating!   ;D
 
3-0 will do nicely.  I suspect if you'd offered Cook three wins and two draws at the outset, he'd have snatched your hand off.  Fabulous series.  I don't ever recall seeing such packed grounds, especially on the final days.   :)
