The ball was outside off-stump and in Eoin Morgan’s arc. He had just hit his last ball for six. Had he done the same again, the recent history of English ODI cricket would be very different; for one, the pressure to win England’s inaugural ODI global event would have been dispelled. Instead, Morgan miscued the ball to short midwicket. England then contrived to throw away an apparently unassailable position, needing just 20 from 16 balls with six wickets in hand, to lose the Champions Trophy final in 2013 to India.

Many thought that the pressures of a vociferous crowd had got to England at the crux of the game. Only, the final was at Edgbaston, not Eden Gardens.

“The vast majority of the crowd were Indian supporters. It was really loud the whole day with trumpets and various instruments,” recalls James Tredwell, who faced the final ball of the game, when England needed six to win. At Edgbaston that day, insiders estimate, upwards of 75 per cent of the crowd supported India.

For England cricketers, this was a peculiar dynamic: the notion of home advantage was inverted. “It’s part of playing against India isn’t it? It’s slightly odd because obviously it's a home game. We sort of knew that was going to be the case.”
