Convincing win for England in the 2nd ODI . Ben Stokes starred with both bat & ball & was awarded man of the match . I still can’t fathom why he couldn’t play in the Ashes .

You’re right OOT.
What weird logic says “you can’t play for England as there’s an investigation and you might be charged”
Then says “you have been charged, no problem you’re in the team” ??

Fabulous low scoring ODI , England winning a thriller by 4 runs to go 2-1 up . Tremendous 100 from Williamson . World class that lad .

181 not out from Ross Taylor - cracking knock.
Two centurions in the England innings too but a collapse in the middle order prevented us from scoring a massive total.
Still, makes the 5th and final match more interesting than having a dead rubber - perhaps that's why we let them win

Kin Hot that summer but I seem to rem the two month long heat wave didn't start until 1st week July...... were you doing re-sits?It was cracking the flags when I was revising for my A'Levels in the summer of 76 !

Maybe that was the hottest period but I remember it being glorious for 3 or 4 months .

I've just read that the drought went on for over a year but the heatwave itself was mid to late summer 76.
That article is wrong btw cos it reports a Minister for Drought in May 76 but in actuallity I rem Dennis Howell was only appointed in late August and within a few days it was teeming it down.......
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1976_United_Kingdom_heat_wave
"In the last week of August, days after Denis Howell was appointed 'Minister for Drought', severe thunderstorms brought rain to some places for the first time in weeks. September and October 1976 were both very wet months, bringing to an end the great drought of 1975–1976."

Perhaps I was confused by the heat but I remember revising for late May/ June exams whilst the sun shone
Anyway women’s summer fashions from the ‘76 heatwave .
Who was that behind the camera for British Pathe news ?
Back on topic , a great summer for cricket too

Amo's Dad perhaps?

Thoroughly dominated the kiwis in the final ODI to take the series 3-2.
I knew we had given them the 4th match just to make it interesting
