I decided to be the best big sister in the world and take my cricket obsessed brother to the final ODI between Australia and England at Lords...and wow, am I glad I did.
I like cricket. Which helps. The atmosphere was electric, but chilled, everyone was smiling and even better, the cricket being played was fantastic.
I'm not a big football fan and in this time of world cup madness a day spent watching cricket, drinking cider and soaking up some sun was a rather lovely alternative, especially as the England cricketers are doing so much better than their footballing counterparts.
And Stuart Broad... well that makes anything worthwhile!
