5th Test Border Gavaskar Trophy January 3-7 1000hrs @ the SCG

This India team is trash. Big questions now. Surely they have a retirement tour for Kohli, enough is enough? He has too big of a shadow over the side. His antics and arrogance.

Mate who gives a heck about India in this moment. 3-1 baby that’s all that matters

3-1 is an accurate reflection of this series. And yes Bumrah will get man of the series. I had Australian glasses on when suggesting Head would get it.

Head wrecking Indians hopes and dreams once again is poetry in motion.

Bit disappointing seeing keyboard warriors choosing to bash a great of the game rather than revel in a great win and a great series.

I've been to the Snug tav!

There's more to being a "great" than what you do with bat and ball.

Only fitting Virat is acting captain for this

After lunch Mark Waugh asked which of the 3 Indian captains/acting captains would be on the dias for the presentation and without missing a beat, the response was that if India won it would be Kohli but with India losing i reckon he leaves that to Bumrah or Sharma

You never had me... You never have the Border Gavskar trophy...

Well done Ussie & Head of the class & Webster to bring it home. Hats off to Scotty Boland. What a cracking effort for 10/!

India learning that you simply can’t win with just one player, even with a generational performance.

Howie aiming for a BCCI gig.

Get their **** out of your mouth.

I think it's a bit closed minded to assume that these wickets didn't heavily favour our bowlers, India were very lucky to have an all time freak who also made use of them.

You suggesting they didn’t favour Bumrah?

 

[ptrg]

Now we’re in the WTC final, would love to see us test some new players in Sri Lanka.

Well I think we will with turning pitches there, probably have 3 genuine spinners.
Webster to open the bowling as the second paceman (before turning to spin)
Maybe also a spinning wicket batsman or two in Handscomb etc

 

[Moonwatcher]

Now we wait 4 and a half hours for the main event Strikers V Hurricanes.

 

[Bucking Beads]

A calm group, a calming group. My god what a load of dribble from Alex Carey. Just makes you laugh at how safe and coddled these blokes are. The next era of cricket players can’t come soon enough.

 

[The Casey Cat]

Webster justifying his selection with a quality debut. Looks a much better batsman than Marsh and contributes like an all rounder should with the ball. Took 2 tests too long IMO but the right decision was made. Marsh shouldn't play Test cricket again unless both Webster and Green are unavailable.

Even then we should be playing someone else.

 

[Iceman!]

Thank **** for the Sri Lanka series.... These next couple weeks alone are going to be brutal.

 

[DIG]

What a satisfying victory

 

[Pistol Night]

Seeing we're on a footy forum, which AFL player would he be like?

Oh gee i wonder where this will go..

**** off campaigner

 

[Gammalite]

Carey being so honest in interview and is very well spoken just now. Some fabulous keeping at times too.

 

[compact72]

So happy we won but I can't stop thinking what may have happened if Bumrah was fit and bowling.

Just think what the history book says

3-1

Trophy back to Australia

Real gentleman Alex Carey as well as being a top shelf cricketer.

Australia is now going to the WTC final!

Pending slow over rate penalties

 

[Redline]

Should've known that Travvy batting against India with a trophy on the line is money

At the end of his career people won't appreciate the clutch innings he has played over the years. Even today it felt like India had to get him early if they were to win.

Or Tony Grieg's delightfully fluffy mild racism (please don't ever pan to a wedding in Perth ever again...)

Or his occasional dabble into skirt-chasing
