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.

Test debut.

greatest debut performance in test match history?

up there. averages 250 lol

Hasan Ali ripping through South Africa atm.

It looked like SA were going to go close for a while there.

I dont understand what England are doing here. They've lost the initiative this session. If they aren't going to score quickly just declare and bowl so that they get a 2nd new bowl if needed tomorrow

Going well this morning, outside chance of wrapping it up before lunch?

Or perhaps tea.

Possibly a confusing end...

(No, the bails just fell off.)

that was strange.

All over.

Great win. Never seen England dominate a team away from home like that. Root playing like he is makes a huge difference. Hopefully other players can step up when Root doesn't.

Could be a cracking series this.

it was strange as the bails didn’t just fall off - the stump was askew as well.

anyway. amazing spell of reverse swing from anderson. sizeable victory in the end. impressive display all round and it will be interesting to see how the first eleven rotation works in the next test.

England did this a couple of weeks ago in Sri Lanka, and also in their previous tour in South Africa?

a top team though? Winning every session easily? Sri Lanka were awful.

So you have to get Indian players out twice now when they play at home? Is that why Kohli didn't walk after being bowled?

Some of the worst umpiring I've ever seen on the field and 3rd umpire.

Both reviews shockingly bad decisions, giving the review back for the catch just running salt in.

Kohli reviewing being clean bowled will be cricket moment of the year and it's only 6 weeks old.

I'm not looking forward to the Indian spinners running through England on this pitch. It's exploding off the pitch already

Aye, this is a day 4 pitch already. 300 a matchwinning first innings I reckon.

Game might be over today if they have to follow on

oh ffs that was out by a mile

West Indies / Bangladesh going to the wire again.

(xp) Yes, ridiculous. Game over anyway.

West Indies win the series!

game was over yesterday but there has been still some horribly biased decisions which should mean England complain so they are not used again.

Im just waiting for Mike Gatting to fight them.

Was v happy to have been watching Big Rahkeem and chums pull that off

SpinFest continues!

Decent bowling figures from Root so far.

5 for 8 in 6.2 overs. Not too shabby.
