I must admit i dont follow cricket a hell of alot these days...but bumrahs bowling action looks very suspect
His elbow bends backwards. Not illegal but not exactly normal. No idea how it doesn’t destroy his elbow bowling how he does

Apart from that he’s insanely skilful to generate that much power off a short run up and still move it so much

I thought that Pakistan was the leading exporter of salt not india

Nah India have always been saltier than the Dead Sea

Worst supporter base in world sport
 
I’m sure there will be bellyaching about DRS from the Indian side, but they have nobody to blame but themselves for the loss. India’s best batsman got run out on a miscommunication in the first innings, Pant got himself out playing a dumb shot. Then yesterday it Jaiswal could’ve held a catch, if Siraj hadn’t dropped Lyon on 5, or if India could’ve avoided letting the 10th wicket pile on 60 runs, then India could’ve been chasing 250-280 with the better part of four sessions to get the target. Then Kohli, Pant and Jaiswal all got themselves out playing aggressive shots when they should’ve been playing to salvage a draw.

On another note, why were the first three days well over 80,000, then attendance dipped to 43,000 yesterday, and then went back up to 74,000 today? I understand why it was up today with an exciting finish on offer; I just don’t understand why the Sunday attendance dropped off by nearly half relative to the first three days.

$10 tickets today.
 
Oh I know their mindset for sure, but settling (at this point) for a draw instead of aiming for a win will never make sense to me. However I am an alpha male who makes million dollar deals before breakfast and owns 3 houses on Whore Island, so that beta behaviour will never play in my lifestyle.

It's my island bitch.

Also, **** the smug Indian pricks. Great win.
 
Starc would have to be touch and go for Sydney with the short turnaround. Jhye Richardson a chance to come into the XI?

There’d have to be massive question marks over his ability to get through an entire Test, wouldn’t there?
 
The Indian fans (and ex-players) are all pushing the narrative that Jaiswal and Akash were hard done by on the DRS. Give me a spell.

In fact the camera work picking up the red dot left by the Akash edge was absolutely top shelf.

The Jaiswal catch was just out too with a huge deflection, then he got all petulant when the Snicko didn’t show a spike. Really should be docked some match fee for dissent but they won’t dare poke the BCCI bear further.

Both came about due to Joel Wilson’s ineptitude. Didn’t cost us like he did at Headingley back in 2019 luckily.

Jaiswal has no cause for complaint. Began walking when the Aussies reviewed. He even told Head that he hit it.

It was a clear out, and the DRS procedure was followed to a tee. The only issue was that Jaiswal didn't understand that procedure.

The fact that most Tests are finishing in 3 days might've had something to do with nobody pre-purchasing tickets for day 4.
