I'm a bit annoyed with myself for not having the courage of my convictions.

Whilst everyone was crying over the second Test defeat and wondering if England would ever win a Test again, I had a thought that they would come back and win this series 3-1. However, partly because of all the odd weather about, I figured India might escape with one draw, so I bottled it, and just bet on a win in the third Test. Small profit, but the 3-1 would have been much better.

I had completely forgotten this started today. Good to see it going well so far.

It's been nice to enjoy the side's reversal of fortunes since the 2nd test. Certainly been good to take the mind of Albion's woes, but maybe also serves as a reminder that even when times are bad, things can change quickly for the better.

Get a short leg in for Jordan , he is on a hatrick .
