Holy mackerel Batman, what did we just watch?

You know what? Let's not go there right away. Of course you want to. You probably already have. It's an entirely human urge. As good as '05? Better than '23 surely? Does it beat any BGT from this century, even the three-match epic that kick-started the modern rivalry? No, spare yourself and don't go down that rabbit hole. Or down that cloying path of self-congratulation, where we collectively phew and pat ourselves on the back because Test cricket has been saved. Again.

 

Stay in the present. Let this Anderson-Tendulkar series take over your head. Let it swirl through your veins. Let it be the natural dopamine rush you didn't have to exercise for. Process what you have seen. Digest it. Take your time - no, actually make the time to go back and pore over every bit of it, to make sense of how, nearly every day - every session, and sometimes every ball - this series dragged you one way, then yanked you the other and finally wrung out every drop of emotion from you like you were some wet tea towel.

 

Did so much really happen in this one series? Could so much really happen in one series? So much that no matter how much you recall, there'll always be that much you won't because, the human brain. Shubman Gill really did go for Bradman's record. As hard as he went for Zak Crawley's masculinity. Jofra Archer really did return to Test cricket and Jofra Archer really did bowl those two deliveries to Rishabh Pant. England really did chase down their second-highest total ever and it felt a little underwhelming and quite inevitable. England did really want to be humbler and not so nice and also not d***heads, all in the same series.

Short attention span. Whoever watched the 2020-21 BGT wouldn't be asking these idiotic questions or spamming AI slop articles.

I am happy about the result of the 5th test, but the series result still feels disappointing. We should have won 3-1.
