 England claim fifth-successive overseas Test victory with there latest win in Sri Lanka. Notorious slow starters previously on overseas tours, seems Chris Silverwood has improved England’s away day results already. Let’s hope the upward trends continues on our travels with such important tours on the horizon, especially the Ashes.

It really makes me wish Silverwood had become our No 1 earlier than he did, we would have got promotion earlier & won a Championship or two extra.

Maybe. But he was around for a few seasons. It was the changes in captain and chairman that made the difference. Even the introduction of Ronnie seems to have been a factor.
