I doubt there would have been many folk who at the start of the summer would have predicted the England cricket team would win the series against India by a 4-0 whitewash. Apparently only the third time England has won a series of over three Tests by a whitewash. England now become the number one ranked team in Test cricket throughout the World. The challenge now is to see how long they can remain there!

Fantastic result, really well done by everyone involved.
I have spent far too much time watching cricket this summer, but it has been a fantastic experience
David, I know that as an MP and cricket fan, with the honour of representing a Lancashire constituency that you will be congratulating Lancashire on winning the County Championship.
It’s been a very long time in coming (last outright win 1934) but very well deserved.
Hi,
Certainly after 77 years a Lancashire County Championship win is long overdue – just a pity Yorkshire have been relegated!
