Does anyone remember the Jimmy Franklin of old? The one who bowled half volleys at 122kmph and got canned at the death? My memory of him is fading rapidly. I am not going to get too carried away however - look what happened to Chris Martin after his dramatic rehabilitation.
Could we have bounced back from the miserable test series any more emphatically? What a kicking. It wasn't just Franklin doing the kicking either, Oram seems to be returning to his steady best and Cairns provided good support. While the English summer has turned damp, I don't think the wicket was too bad. Certainly we didn't have much trouble batting on it - facing Harmison apart.
I feel better about the world now.
