Writing in The Guardian, Andy Bull believes England should go back to India, and cites the example of the New York Mets baseball team, who resumed playing only weeks after the September 11 attacks, and embarked on a winning run that earned them the nickname "Miracle Mets".
They won, in fact, each of their first six games after 9/11, thrilling their fans and delighting the city as they did so. Back pages were again filled with headlines about the 'Miracle Mets'. Their hitter Mike Piazza commented: "we expect to win every game right now ... because we're playing completely relaxed, even during what should be the most tense of circumstances."
