Don Bradman's team is the only team to have won from 2-0 down, Australia's 3-2 win in 1936-37 Ashes. Is that something you're going to tell the boys, because it is huge, the relevance of this victory...
1936-37, I wasn't even born man! Why are you reminding me of '36-37? One match at a time, we live in the present, okay? One game at a time. Nottingham is over. There's a break and we move to Southampton and start afresh. Take a fresh guard. 2018.

 

Amazing level of bakchodi

nah 2-0 down in SENA and win is the far bigger an achievement.  we did win SA too but was dead rubber.  this is not, so, this game had the pressure.

Now he'll go all gung ho and party hard like madman till the next danda on his pichwada arrives

Now we suppose we lose this series 3-1 or 4-1 ,no one will remember this game as a great one I am sure !! 

If we lose 2-1/3-2 or get back 2-2 then it might be termed as one of the greatest comeback .

but still this is not a good England side  (result speak for itself ) ranked #5 ,even pakistan and Windies won test matches here so winning a test match (whatever the situation) for a #1 team isn't anything special in cricketing terms. 

The greatest comeback by our side was perhaps in Perth.done and dusted ,Australia on a 16 match winning streak ,whole crowd and media against us and then we turned it around !

Perth 2008 test ,we broke Australian 16 straight win,monkey gate, bad umpiring.

[Gollum]

He tells the same thing every time we win overseas. Now extra incentive because he can take some credit, effing asshole.  if we come back and win the series he will thunder a lot

yes that was great too

[GolGappe]

In terms of effort, I rank Adelaide above all.

 

Australia got a massive first inning score.

India's top order crumbles.

Epic partnership between Dravid and Laxman.

Once in a lifetime spell by Sir Agarkar.

And tricky 4th inning chase well-shepherded by Dravid.

Perth 2008 is still remembered despite losing the series. same Johannesberg 2006

Frankly I wouldn't rate that Adelaide win too highly. We played that series without McGrath/Warne and that is a big factor. IIRC, an unknown player like Brad Williams and odi specialist Nathan bracken played in that series along with Lee.

He is calling it best win since he took over. Also i quote the statement you have problem with. 

[Lannister]

Even since media started to question the team management, they come to press conference one after the other to take advantage of this win. We all know you did jackshit as this win is entirely due to Kohli's never-say-never attitude and the talented players he is leading. Anything less than a series win, fire all their asses.

BS. He is partly responsible for the 1-2 hole we are in. Also this is just 1 win. Happens every overseas tour. Let's not get carried away.

It was won against an ATG batting line up. A drawn game can be downgraded for poor bowling. But winning against ATG batting line up is great achievement.

McGrath yes. Warne had one decent series against India but normally our batsmen feasted on him and he was hardly a factor in India-Australia test series. Additionally, India were without Zaheer Khan in second test match. He'd a first innings 5-fer in first test of that series.

 

You can't ignore the batting line up Australia had in that test match : Langer, Hayden, Ponting, Waugh, Gilchrist, Martyn, and Katich.

 

That was a special and hard-fought win.
