And you were in the prime year of your life
And your team was shaping up to be the greatest cricket team in the world
And you were playing the team you had to beat to be that team
And if you were playing on a sunny Saturday afternoon
In front of a full house
At you home ground
And things weren’t quite going as well for your team as you’d been hoping
(PS. Press on the coloured words in BLOCK CAPITALS to see Stuart Broad‘s hat-trick ball and celebrations)
Oh and thanks to Paddy Briggs for this cracking shot he took live of the hat-trick ball itself- bravo!
