Reports of Bazball's death may have been premature...
Bazball has seemingly risen like a phoenix from the flames.
To win at the MCG Melbourne in 2 days, under incredible and merited criticism and pressure after 3 abject test defeats. Incredible.

Pleasant walk - cool, not cold, late sun through to twilight - to the pub along various lanes.
And a different route back in darkness, periodically interrupted by christmas tree and hedge lights. #Worcestershire
