By the way, were choices of Shubman Gill and Harry Brooks as player of series right at the end of series?
 
Actually props to @mominsaigol man was gutsy to make such call and England almost pulled off a 370+ chase while a man down.

England only needed like 42 runs with 6 wickets in hand with 90% win chance at that point.
I made a call based of pitch and conditons but england botched it at the end.

I knew 373 wasnt going to be enough as pitch would not deteriorate but oh well, England bottle job and bethall being a clown is nothing new.

Baz picked Gill. Gauti picked Brooks. Gill is not a terrible choice. But from what i heard Baz picked Gill even yesterday before the match was over. If he had picked today he probably would have picked Siraj. But Brooks is a weird pick. Obviously Stokes should have been the one as he won two MOM awards. If not Root.
 
ECB uploaded highlights. Seeing first few balls, both Overton and Atkinson played really well. Overton was unlucky with a marginal call.

FTB Jaimie Smith was completely clueless against the moving ball. I hope Scot Boland will have field day with this guy in Ashes.
 
India pulled off a great win. Siraj gets all the credit for his gutsy bowling on the final day... England has the game in the bag but they choked.

Both him and brook are victims of the reckless bazball mentality. As talented batters as they are, they could score even more runs if they used half their brain.
Jamie Smith has already proven himself in tough conditions against the moving ball. Also a far better player of spin than Brook, proved it in 3rd test in pindi last year on a turner.
He should smash washed up Lyon in the ashes.

That is how they have won so many tests. why would they change? That is his pet shot much like defensive shot for many. Pant does it all the time. So does Jaiswal. Besides most of the time ENgland plays that way because they don't have sound defense. They are not technically good apart from Root.
 
I am not a Sri Lankan. I am a Bangladeshi. Not sure why you think I am a Sri Lankan. :inti



I am a big fan of Test cricket whether my team win or not. My favorite cricket series is The Ashes. :inti

I am anti-T20.

Lol nice pj.

Jab billi doodh piti hai, tab usse lagta hai usse koi nahi dekh raha:misbah
 
Love the coping mechanism by wannabe and delusional posters here. They are humiliated like England team . :klopp:kp
Cry babies are going mad . Never imagined the breakdown extent.Untill now tests are the most interesting and pure format hoping eng will crush India. Now t20s are the future .mental gymnastics and coping mechanism is shameless clownish cringe at best.
 
Nitish should have let the ball outside offstump just before the lunch too
In hindsight, Pant should have not thrown his wicket away at MCG.

Lots of could have, would have, should have
Gambhir would feel better with 3-5 win/loss in 10 test matches in Australia-England with close losses at the MCG & Lord's.

Better to play 4 proper bowlers when India tours New Zealand next year for 2 tests.

They won't win any in Australia with this approach. England have largely been successful on flat tracks, bazball won't work on quicker pitches in Australia.
