Yeah we all remember Headingly and Bob Willis steaming after Botham's heroics, but there has been something mythic about the way that this series has swung, the tenseness of a final day where both sides have had to see out the overs in less than ideal conditions against some wonderful bowling to earn the draw. That little urn could have gone to either team up until an hour or so after the lunch interval with any of the four possible results acheivable. How often can you say that of a test series?
