charmed life

Having chosen to bat, Bangladesh opener Rubya Haider lived a charmed life, surviving numerous edges and drops before finally falling for 44.

In fact, after Birmingham, it can be argued the questions that hung over England at the beginning of the summer still remain: Zak Crawley's charmed life at the top of the order, Ollie Pope's feast or famine at number three, the Shoaib Bashir project, how the pace bowlers take wickets on flat pitches.

It’s a charmed life, and as such, totally impractical, as Anne notes when she arrives at Raymond’s behest.

“He’s always lived a charmed life in terms of politics, but there’s also been more to him.”

Republicans, again, live a charmed life around election time.
