It was, you know. You may have noticed, what with the commentators relentlessly going on about history being made the whole time. At times it seemed like everything about the match was historic.
Out of action and therefore obliged to sit through the TV coverage, Jimmy Neesham was struggling.
If there's one aspect of cricket you can rely on people to talk about, it's contentious decisions by the third umpire.
Reviewing one decision, Nigel Llong suggested that a Hot Spot mark on Nathan Lyon's bat could have come from "anything".
Maybe the mark was from a "fly".
They're particularly annoying when you're trying to enjoy a light lunch.
Has he gone too far?
Or has Andrew Flintoff gone too far?
Might as well ensure there's a doctor on hand if you're going to try and get through all of that.
Will Stuart Broad do?
He's become a Doctor of Laws. Maybe he could start by learning the lbw one. No, it's not worth reviewing it, Stuart.
Broad's one-time team-mate Graeme Swann also had his mind on lofty matters.
Somewhere in the world, there is always a cricketer indulging himself and making the most of air travel.
Others have spotted a niche to be exploited there.
Either way, please ensure you wear the correct footwear.
Waiting for trains is apparently less enjoyable.
Just imagine you're Hashim Amla or AB de Villiers dead-batting away and the minutes will fly by.
