The Autumnal winds have started to blow the leaves from the trees, the nights are starting to draw in once again and so we come to the end of the English Cricket Season. Has it been a good one? I think so and not just in terms of sport but in terms of attitude and in life coaching.
We have seen a near total demolition of the worlds top test team by the team destined to be the top team. We have seen a retiring veteran take what can only be described as the catch of the decade on T20 finals day and we have seen more injuries than in an Italian Serie A match.
Young players are coming through, old players retire and ex-players bemoan the state of the game. The reality though is that cricket continues, and will continue for a long time to come for this is still the game where fairness comes first and where sport and honour are more important than money.
So I say thank you for the season, for all those who have contributed so much, congratulations to the winners and to the losers better luck next time. Let us all now move forward to the next great spectacle.
