Sounds like she may have done you a favour? 
This possibly matches Headingley 1981 (Botham’s Ashes).
I was heartbroken for 24 hours or was it 24 minutes?

Here’s to your Granny Ian.
And Sue, feel free to say “I told you so”.
Miracle delivered Chris.
We’ve just watched the highlights on Channel 5 and I managed not to give anything away.
Him indoors makes Eeyore seem cheerful, so with every wicket that fell he just knew we wouldn’t win.
So now there is unmitigated joy in the land. He’s thrilled that he’s recorded it, so this will be our Christmas special for the next 10 years. He thinks Stokes should have a peerage.
I remember Headingly 1981 - I think this is even better. At the time I was working with an American company and my client was in London. We met for dinner after they’d shown Botham on the news smashing 6s in all directions. My American client asked “Is cricket always like this?”
Maybe not - but when it is, it’s wonderful.
And Tracy, as Mrs Hughes said in Downton Abbey to Mr Carson, “You may be a curmudgeon, but your my curmudgeon”. I wouldn’t have him any other way.
