lol at same players. They had Hameed,Burns,Sibley,Buttler,Robinson. All losers

 

This team is much better.

We had super losers too

 

Old kohli 

Old pujara

Old rahane

Somewhat rest were ok. 

In random tests we played wrong bowling combo. 

 

Best was when we had ishant shami bumrah and sirsj all owning together. That was great.

What a pathetic knock by Carey :phehe:

His test avg is only 32.  It will slide further into 20s.  Not sure if he would be retained if he keeps playing like this.

He is not that great.Aussies have been spoiled by Gilly. 

 

People like Gilly don't come around that often. That is why Pant is such a big miss for India and Dravid was an idiot not using him well in t20s.

But he never had high ceiling to begin with. He was always considered an utility keeper not a keeper in the mould of Gilly.

They need to bring in Inglis. Carey is useless with the bat. Looks shot most of the time.

Lol Robinson had insane average at the time. Wood played 2 tests iirc.

Woakes played one. Pretty sure they lost that test. 

They also that bulky guy who was decent.

What a way to retire. Broad is legend. What a bowler, absolute killer of left handers.

 

Hard luck Aussies. Ruined their chance of winning the series in England.

Oz wont have to worry about Broad anymore.

You could just literally leave it at dravid is an idiot. 

 

That is his name in reality.

WTC champ Aus deserve a better WK.  I m sure they must be having better WK than this..

Ishant is a hole that we will struggle to fill in a while. That height, natural bounce, miserly bowling, great inswingers. When he combined with Bumrah and Shami they were complimenting each other well.  Siraj is not a fully developed seamer unfortunately. Going after glory ball every single ball and losing the plot.

The good, better, best of this test with one regret.

 

The good - England drew the series to maintain no series lost vs Aus in England since 2001.

The better - Moeen and Broad go out on high together having helped with this test.

The best - It matters not who won or lost but that Jimmy played the game.

 

Minor regret - Jimmy protege Ollie Anderson was missing in this match. (Heartbreak for Dravid)

how does this affect your original point :hmmmm2:

Injuries, weather, freak dismissals, bizarre decisions so many aspects decided the outcome rather than actual skills in this series.  Australia in my view was way below par. They are lucky to get away with 2-2.  I can't remember one good spell from Australia that sticks out. That Starc's spell briefly. Otherwise pathetic bowling. Got butchered a lot of times.
