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

[kickazz]

3-1 and unlucky in Brisbane.

As always though in reality it was closer than that, rarely did either side have things comfortably their way.

Lots of what if moments and momentum swings.

Sad to see Bumrah miss that last innings.

Kudos to all of the fans. In Melbourne especially the Indian contingent was huge, and I recon that got a few Aussie supporters off the fence and down to the ground. Over 800 000 attendance across the series.

Test is best!

Holding every major (meaningful) trophy is huge. T20 only one missing but meh, anyone in world cricket could win that on their day.

Where are all the captain woke whingers at News Ltd now. Can go and EAD

The play I admired but that crap today was piss poor and not needed

Agree he pushes the boundaries, but that's what makes it great viewing. He throws it back in our faces, as he will against England, and it depends how we or another country he's playing against can handle it....

If anyone is wondering what song is being played in the montage, its this

Loving this footage.

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

McSweeney, Konstas and Webster

Konstas isn't a long term opener with his current batting style...

What a series and what a win!

Another trophy under Cummins' leadership!

I'll be buying the next Mountain Culture brewing limited release 4 pack in his honour.

Yeah I suppose if he was giving Bairstow shit about anything I’d be revelling in it like a flog. But I’m no moral compass so it’s a tricky one.

I feel quite blue now.

That series was amazing, it's probably the best series I remember watching, and getting to be a part of it on day 5 at the G was amazing.

It was engaging, both in real life and online, it led to some real great discussion.

In a tragic sort of a way, I'd had a real rough couple of months leading to this series, and being able to invest so heavily in the cricket gave me a little bit of purpose over the last 6 weeks. I'm very glum that it's over

India must be sick of Head. He constantly gives them a migraine.

Al Snow, on the other hand.

Why? It means the footy is around the corner. Practice matches coming up, heading into a big AFL season in '25!!!!

Not often Head gives you a migraine.


I’ll see myself out

The Champions Trophy starts next month. The focus will be resting and preparing for that

 

[SparklingAle69]

Konstas isn't a long term opener with his current batting style...

Agreed. He has to calm and knuckle down. I reckon he's close to being dropped on his current trajectory. Needs to reward the selectors.

The word she had to apologise for using earlier in the series.

Primate? Which we are.

No different to if the acronym was MVE and she said "Most Valuable Eukaryote".

People are just being exposed for their lack of knowledge there. Unless they are offended at Homo sapiens' classification.
