A test match win that will be talked about for the next few decades i reckon.

The ebbs and flows throughout were incredible.

Sam Konstas kamikaze 60 on Boxing day feels like a lifetime ago.
I've been lucky enough to be home watch it for most of the 5 days...much to my kids dismay.

Bumrah was the difference for India and without him they wouldn't have gotten close. Their opener Jaiswal is first class, and Reddy nearly stole the first innings from us.

But time and time again Australia seems to pull something from somewhere and win. It's what we do. Marnus and Smith looked better, and how good is Cummins. He saved us with both bat and ball. Seriously good player.

Don't forget the second test vs Pakistan from 1999. Back when I liked JL.
Nah. Not in my mind.

The only other tests that stick out for me are when when Waugh stepped up to the plate after decades of humiliation from the great West Indies.

Then we became so good it got a bit boring 🤣
 
Ill tell you what how crazy is the EPL this year.

My side Fulham are 8th

Nottingham Forest are 2nd at the halfway mark.

Manchester United sitting in 14th haha. Can we just relegate them to the championship for a season.

Liverpool look like certainties to win it but around that its pretty fascinating.

I think Ange is massive trouble also

Ange will be sacked very soon. Every Tottenham managerial career ends in failure and this will be no different.
Forest going well but I still think they’ll drop off to 7th or so by seasons end.
It’s funny how crap United are 😂 there’s actually a cancer running though that club.

Liverpool should win the title comfortable from here
 
You don't think defence wins games in (any) football?
Crazy stat from the NFL one week out from the playoffs - the Chiefs are 15 & 1 while being one of only four teams (the other three are garbage and will likely get the first 3 draft picks) not to score more than 30 points in a game.
Meanwhile, as noted, Postecoglou is likely to be sacked because his side simply leaks goals.

Yeah 100% every sport best defence generally takes you deep.

Hopefully the Lions win it.

I think everyone is over the Mahomes/KC show.

Being a Miami Dolphins fan i dont want to see Buffalo win though so Detroit for me this year in the playoffs.
 
I was lucky enough to be in MCC members yesterday at the G. What an amazing last session. My friend and I were legitimately one over away from walking out to the Corner Hotel when Pant's brain exploded. What followed will be one of the greatest sessions of cricket I will ever see live. The tension, the drama! A script for the ages haha. The roar from the Indian crowd when there was no line on snicko was defening and the following dismay at the out decision was delicious to say the least. I love snicko and long live test cricket!

I must admit we made that mistake last summer at the SCG against Pakistan

2 overs to go we walked out to get to the pub as the session petered out & well guess what happened.

Hazlewood got 3 wickets in the penultimate over of the day. And were like wtf have we done we missed the best part of the day.

Agree with you about KC, like Penrith in the NRL everyone's just over it.

Commanders to win it from the 6th seed;)

My mate & I walked out on day 2 just before the run out.
As my mate had "caused" a wicket when he had a pee break, we walked out suggesting we should "cause" a wicket each, so we'd have them 4 down.
By the time I had walked home the Aussies had added one more to "our" 2 wickets :)

How good was the third umpire, from Bangladesh I think. Some great common sense decision making.

Aussies seem to be using the review option well these days.

Yep i admire Penrith how they have achieved one of the great Australian sporting dynasties but the problem will be Melbourne Storm will probably win it.

It's not like there short of success in the past 20 years.

As long Canterbury or Manly don't win the NRL i am happy though being a long suffering Parramatta supporter on top of Fremantle.
 
Cummins explained it at the press conference that Head has joked before that when he has a hot (spinning) finger he needs to put it in a bucket of ice
There was a video of him doing it floating around after he nagged a bundle of wicket in a gave previous.He had his finger in a glass with ice in it,

What a shit last ten overs from the scorchers, completely lost it. Had them [emoji[emoji6]] for [emoji6][emoji[emoji6]] and they finish [emoji[emoji6]] for .

Still a very low score for Adelaide oval, but really letting that standard slip.

I was hopeful they’d be all out for [emoji[emoji6][emoji6]][emoji[emoji6][emoji6]] but just shat the bed in the last [emoji[emoji6][emoji6]].
