Jai Ho!!!

 

Thanks to thala.

Captain's knock if there ever was one, take a bow Cummins & also credit to Lyon for hanging in there with him

[vvvslaxman]

Very good Test. England relied heavily on Broad with Anderson out.  

[Stan AF]

What a captains knock from Cummins.

[Frustrated]

Aus won 4-0 over Eng last year.   Now its 5-0.

Root is a Legend    Stokes is a Legand.  Well,  Aus were too defensive and conservative as opposed to Eng.     So, who won in the end?

 

At the end of the day Australia's aggression towards the end against Root won the game. They were totally out until that point. That turned the game around.

[Stan AF]

Screw that field placement

Crazy day 1 declaration

Awful Bairstow keeping

Not taking the new ball immediately after the Root wicket

Stokes drop

 

Fine margins...

They need to recall Darren Gough, Andy Caddick and Graeme Swann to the team.

Apologies - Swann is too young. They need Phil Tufnell.

I think difference was giving one extra over for Root and Not taknig new ball. 

[vvvslaxman]

Anyway credit to Cummins to play with calm and colleected approach.

[vivek04]

this type of fight i would like see in Indian team, but the current lot are timid bunch of cricketers who fails under slight pressure.

[putrevus]

Glad Aussies won, England moronic declaration when Root was in full cry needed to be punished by cricketing gods.

 

 

[Lone Wolf]

Great game...  Such emotion.  They didn't care that much for WTC final clearly.  Cummins wanted this.

There's a reason why the wisdom accumulated over centuries of test cricket stands above reckless declarations.
