BY JOVE THEY DID IT


'Who? Did what?', you ask. The Windies, they broke the Aussies 21 one-day-international streak. The Man of the Match Award went to Lara, who along with Wavell Hinds took it to the Australian team just 1 day after they assumed a 4-0 lead in the seven-match series. Yes Yip Yip, I'm talking cricket again, get over it.

I forgive them for failing to do it here. Thing is, I didn't see any of it. I managed to sleep though the whole thing!
