The greatest what of all time?

Incredible achievement but when Walsh became leading wicket-taker of all time nobody argued he was the greatest then and nobody serious would of it now

Do

he's not in the top 10 of all time bar statistics

can't help lolling at the carpe diem ingenuity of Mitchell Claydon ball-tampering with hand sanitizer

Crikey.

yeah i saw that this morning. O_o

i was following the test a bit and it felt like india got a slightly below par first innings score but when i saw australia’s first innings score and thought “oh wow india have a good chance here” and then yeah. no single batsman made double figures.

That Aussie attack is terrifying. If Cameron Greene comes good they're going to be pretty much unbeatable.

cummins and hazlewood are basically mcgrath x2 at this point

except a bit quicker

That was great. And good to see J Burns get some runs at the end.

Kudos 2 the 2nd string Indian team

They'll have probably 3.5 sessions to survive. Rooting 4 them

Good win for England

love 2 watch the aggressive Test Match playing that Australia is world renowned for

I bet you thought they were going to lose!

Nah, they were pretty calm this morning and looked ok.

Might've been different if they had taken that review!

if ever a series has deserved a final day of rain and recriminations

or my favourite potential outcome of all: pat cummins superman 8-fer, india finish 9 down

101 needed, surely this is doable from here?

Ugh, the new ball doing the damage.

I don’t understand why Australia didn’t rotate their attack - bringing in another paceman for a couple of tests and giving Starc and Hazelwood a test off each could have swung the series.

Loving the gary backlash

Wow.

Best sport in the world

lol have some of that honorary Aussie twat Russ Le Roq!

Sobering assessment :/ https://i.stuff.co.nz/sport/cricket/123990111/mark-reason-australias-cricket-loses-honour-in-shameful-short-bowling-assault-on-india

Tim Paine will probably cop it badly from the always calm Aussie press, but I humbly suggest that Justin Langer is too weird a unit to be Australian coach.

ha, bring back booooof!

Amazing result. Couldn't have happened to a nicer bunch of lads. They've not lost at the Gabba since 1988.

fantastic result. great series and what a way to come back from that second innings skittling in the first test.

wow

👍👍👍

I don't buy this, it was only shaneful insofar as it didn't get them any wickets

Shaneful, nice areas Shane!

Yeah that article is OTT bunk. India came up against that tactic and bested it

Australian cricket is in the gutter, the baggy green is soiled and covered with bean juice

lolaus

yuh i wouldn't be thhaat sad if Starc went though

Wasn't expecting anyone to upstage India/England or Pakistan/SA, but Kyle Mayers is giving it a damn good go

Nice having some live stuff on terrestrial tho

210 not out on debut!

What is with these left-handers smashing six-filled innings to pull off impossible wins

LOL that was his debut?!?!

Bonner’s debut too - and he got 86.
