On that note, it's time to turn off my PS4.
Okay, England are bloody useless at real-life cricket. We've just lost to Bangladesh. Yes, Bangladesh.
It was almost impossible not to qualify for the quarter-finals of the World Cup. Except we have pulled off mission impossible and have done just that.
Now is the time to put that right - and Don Bradman Cricket is perfect to do just that.
First things first, this game isn't a sequel to Don Bradman 14. It's pretty much the same as last year's - but for the PS4 and the Xbox One.
In summary: if you've got the old one, don't buy this one expecting an upgrade.
But don't let detract from what really is a cracking game for real, hardened cricket lovers.
In many ways, Don Bradman Cricket sums up the sport. You can't just storm in, smash the ball out the park with the bat and then bowl 90mph spells to blitz the opposition away.
You may swing from the hip and connect with a few but you'll fall pretty soon. The same will happen here.

They say good things come to those who wait - and it's right.
If you're impatient, this might not be the game for you. You won't be able to invite your mate round and have a decent contest. Honing your skills with bat, ball and in the field takes time.
Bowling, especially, is difficult. Sending that ball down is easy enough. Getting it to go where you want to go is not.
The graphics won't blow you away either. The crowd looks 2D, the menus are clunky and deciding when to run while batting is also pretty difficult due to the camera angles.
But this is made by cricket lovers for cricket lovers. The intricacies of the great game are included in this great game. When you put in a bit of practise it pays off.
Take the umpires as an example. We've all played FIFA, moaned about an offside decision and slowed the camera down to show that the linesman is always right. Not here.
Think you're not out? Then challenge the ump's decision using the game's built-in DRS system.
Most of the time the umpires are spot on. But there are times when they get it wrong and it's always nice to see hot spot come up and save you, just like it did in that World Cup final when I crushed the Aussies. Did I mention that? Well batted, Eoin Morgan, well batted.
In fact, it wasn't Eoin Morgan, which is a problem.
