In the next few hours, England will complete an unlikely 4-1 series win over India. Alastair Cook will get his last standing ovation as a Test cricketer, Jimmy Anderson will go past Glenn McGrath to become Test cricket’s most prolific fast bowler, and Stuart Broad may go past Kapil Dev to become the seventh leading wickettaker in Test history. For anyone with even the slightest emotional investment in the England cricket team, it’s going to be a day of benign, bittersweet emotion.
