On the eve of their second Test against New Zealand in Christchurch, the last match of an arduous tour, Root cited a different atmosphere between the two sides.

The identity of the top four appeared to be a foregone conclusion at one stage, only for the tournament hosts to slip up against Sri Lanka at Headingley last Friday.

From scaling the highest mountain at Lord’s, India plunged headlong into the deepest abyss at The Oval. At Southampton, the Test went into the fifth day, perhaps only due to the fact that England took first strike and amassed a massive 569/7 declared.

These have got to be the worst Three Tests performances India has strung together in recent times, with the nadir reached at The Oval....

It never for once looked like the batsman did not show their intent to occupy the crease. They all watchfully countered the new ball threat until well after the lacquer from the ball had tapered off. It resulted in the batsman putting high prices for their wicket. The instance of Pujara getting out to a horrendous shot did bring back the batting woes of the past. It may have been the same old script where India would have been out playing the wrong line or length, and their wickets column nosediving, but it was not to be due to the presence of the two senior men in the side, namely Virat Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane....

“As we were walking up the stage I said, ‘That’s why you wait to take the right job,’” Sankey told Sporting News. “He had been identified as a candidate for a number of opportunities, but he was patient. It went back to a place where he knew and understood the culture and built the foundation for what is present at Georgia.” Smart was patient, even after Georgia lost 26-23 to Alabama and mentor Nick Saban in the CFP championship game a month later....

A bare-chested, grinning Dier was labelled the “Coolest Man in Moscow” by the Daily Mail, who added with a touch of hyperbole: “The explosion of relief must have been heard in space.” The Daily Mirror hailed: “Justice as Lions win do-or-Dier shootout” following the 4-3 win on spot-kicks in Moscow.

Alastair Cook would have been satisfied with England’s performance in Test series as that was Cook’s first Series victory at home. Although he made a mess of the toss, his bowlers were instrumental in England clinching the Test series 2-0. Perhaps he thought that the same thing would be happening in ODI series and it did not happen as his batsmen failed to make substantial contribution in first ODI. Despite having a formidable pace-attack, they were not given enough runs to defend on a perfect batting strip....
