Sorry, I've probably mentioned this on about 12 threads now (or at least 2 anyway).
I think the Barmy Army trumpeter has been absolutely brilliant. Highly entertaining, and to my untrained ears technically very competent.
However. Yesterday, with 7 runs left to win, as Southee approached the crease, he suddenly started belting out the theme from the 1980s darts themed British quiz show Bullseye.
I thought, "that's going to put Foakes right off". And about 5 seconds later he was out.
I think the trumpeter may have had a little drink. And invaluable as he is to the England tour, I think he cost England the game.
