Typically, he got a 3 wicket haul.

He's probably had the best series ever for a bowler without a 5 wicket haul.

Officially is now. I suspect it’s also most wickets taken in a series by a bowler who was hit for 2 sixes in an over by Stuart Broad in that series.

In The Oval Test, England became the first team in Test cricket to bowl the opposition out in both innings with none of the bowlers who took wickets in the 1st innings taking wickets in the 2nd innings.

Interesting. Pretty surprised that this has never happened before.

It's interesting how your perception of time changes as you get older. They keep on saying it's the first drawn series for nearly half a century. I remember during the 74/75 tour there was a piece about the Bodyline tour. At that time it had been 42 years ago and it seemed like they were talking about ancient history. Yet now 47 years ago feels like yesterday.
