The tumult of this extraordinary sporting summer has momentarily died away. Suddenly the remnants of an ancient civilisation have reappeared, like the outlines of a flooded village reappearing amid the caked mud of a parched reservoir.
First-class cricket is being played in the land, in agreeable places with perfect weather. Days of wine and Roses matches. I have been watching with good companions, sometimes discussing events as they unfolded, sometimes talking about life, which is the way cricket should be watched.
