It only seems like yesterday. There's every chance this could be a dream, though I know in my heart it is not. That first day of ashes cricket. It started the day after my exams finished. Joy beyond words. Packing up the Mannum mansion to the sights and sounds of Australia pummeling England.
After a long and wonderful summer of cricket, the five test series has wrapped up. I've spent a lot of time splayed on the couch watching. Engrossed. Such a thrill to see a whitewash. But now it feels as though those carefree days of summer are gone. Almost symbolically, the Aussies have wrapped up England two days ahead of schedule. As if they knew I had to go back to uni tomorrow, and couldn't be on the couch to watch them.
Goodbye summer. I'll miss you!
