I still can't believe we beat Australia 4 times in a row with a sh***y batting line up lol 

I won't mind Ind losing to them henceforth but desperately want Ind to win an ICC trophy be it in any format.

NZ will keep stopping us. That is set in stone.

Cummins is fighter. Remember in 2018 series when their whole batting was struggling he was bowling great, picking up wickets and scoring runs too.

I thought we lost for sure when they were 20 runs away from win.

Rubbing salt to our wounds, the same NZ would continue getting thrashed by Poyzz in every Icc tournament.

Cummins carved his name in Ashes history in style. Epic match for him although Khawaja played the major role.

Pandua will sink kiwi tied in that stone,when his time comes

[Zero_Unit]

Balls of steel. After Khawaja, I thought it was it but Cummins has other plans

After bowling one epic over after a wicket fell he will control his fielding from dressing room

Bazball for English Knobs and Snobs alike.

That declaration at 390 odd in the first innings really looks foolish and has come to bite England in the @&&, loved to see McCullums egg face after the defeat. Yeh apne harkaton se "Baz" nahi aayega

I really thought his name was Khwaja.

I still think for England conservative approach won't work. They will lose more matches. Others don't have to ape though as they are good at conventional cricket.  Declaration is the only part that i don't understand. When you have an opoprtunity to bat an opposition out of the game after day one you just take it. You don't desert it.

Root over with the two sixes was the pivot point...the Audacity.

I have created a slogan for Barmy Army. Need to get approval from RCB team.

Shitty keeping cost them more than bazball tbh. Foakes in, Pope out for next match.

The match would have been a draw anyway, if they didn't declare

[wazza]

Chasing has definitely gotten easier. Definitely. It's clear as day. 

Indian batting did very poorly on a much flatter wicket chasing vs Oz. Poor stuff.
