There is a time when anticipation starts. There is no big revelation, no cloudburst, fanfare or pyrotechnic display just a mild dawning. It is time, anticipation is there.
Anticipation around the 2nd Test in the West Indies starts around now; not too soon after the 1st Test, not too late before it all becomes too commonplace. It seems to me that everyone seems to have written off England, missing the point that this is a Test, it is carried out over several days and several matches. Patience is required as well as sweeping batting an fast bowling. This isn't a one day blast to see who can slam the most flamboyant runs for the cameras. It is an intricate game of stealth and patience, it is a mental game and above all, it is a team game.
I for one will be glued to my laptop screen (metaphorically speaking), listening to the 2nd Test in Antigua this coming Friday with anticipation (after all, it is Friday the 13th!). And a little patience.
