Pitches didn't really deteriorate, did they?
I don't recall seeing the footmark wear and tear that Warne used to use on day 5

He progressed from dreadful to unreliable. He'll be a valuable member, just now needs to get his consistency back. Went poor Test, good Test, poor Test, very good Test, poor Test.

Sorry Brett Lee, I disagree. Hazelwood should be made to earn his spot in the Test team. Scott Boland has done more than enough to be a regular in Australia's Test team.

Brett Lee makes brutal call for Aussies to drop Scott Boland after heroics at SCG
It comes amid complaints about the pitch being used for the fifth Test at the SCG. Read more here.

It is a great series win but we're still asking a lot of the same questions as we had at the start of the summer IMO. What do we do with these aging top order bats that aren't scoring. Can we seriously take Khawaja, Marnus and Smith into next summer? Can our selectors grow the stones and rotate our quicks during next summers Ashes? Do we need to develop another spinner to repalce Lyon.
It is a key match in isolation, but does not have the history or emotion of a 4-5 match series against our two biggest rivals. You get a whole season of ups and downs (or all ups lately when hosting the Ashes) in those series.
Given you are crowned the world champions and it pays off the previous years work, I'd put it next in line behind those though.

Green typically made runs at 4.
If he is at 3 we probably don’t bowl him much at all, which may be the case anyway to prevent injuries.
Would be ok with Patterson, McSweeney, Cartwright etc battling it out for 3, and Green replaces Smith.
Something like
Konstas
Hunt
One of the above
Green
Head
Webster
As the top 6

Because she is so far from neutral.
Figured you must've been making a joke using that word.
Great series.
Had plenty of intrigue with the back and forth momentum, the bowler friendly conditions, Bumrah masterclass, the Konstas/Indian antics.
Unfortunate/fortunate end with the injury to Bumrah giving us the edge in this test.

It has started earlier for some ...
At least there are a few long-form videos on YouTube of McDonald's Cup and Mercantile Mutual Cup games to enjoy before the 1st Test in Sri Lanka starts on the 29th.

nice to win, but don't care if we lose. has no meaning to me.
Depends on the series. I'd take it over a series win in SL.
Did they talk English in the presentation

Enjoyed the posting on here this summer. Alot more humour amongst us and not as much of "you're a ****ing moron" (which I can occasionally be guilty of)....hahaha. Made alot of fun being on.
Same group of people generally posting for years so we are more familiar with each other. More like a group sitting around having a beer at the pub watching the cricket.

Have to admit I was surprised why they both weren't up there to present the trophy. I have no clue what the usual protocol is with jointly named trophies in cricket..

A Cricket Australia spokesman confirmed the plan to have Border present the trophy if Australia won it and Gavaskar if India retained it.

No, I was asking what a neutral should have done in that position, as I reckon a neutral wouldn't want 5 wides in that situation

Boland has a Test average that Hazlewood could only dream of.Sorry Brett Lee, I disagree. Hazelwood should be made to earn his spot in the Test team. Scott Boland has done more than enough to be a regular in Australia's Test team.

Even if it blew out five runs per wicket, he’d still have him covered.
