Anderson-Tendulkar trophy - Paisa vasool series

[coffee_rules]

Just like the previous tour to England, this has been a paisa vasool series. 
 

First test saw a record 5 100s from India and a record chase by England

 

Second test had a 1000 run aggregate with Gill dominating both innings 

 

Third was very close loss , a very heart breaking loss. 
 

 Fourth test an exciting draw with India batting out 5 sessions

 

Indian victory in Oval will be a icing on the cake

Flat track bullies... Will take this performance with a pinch of salt. This team may not last 3 days in NZ or SA

I think India has played in goo dbatting conditions many times.  The match we got shot out for 78 runs?  England made 432 runs. Same way in 5th test. Pant and Jadeja made 100s. But our top order went missing. It was a good batting track too. In SA even SA team don't score that big. NZ even Bangladesh has a 550. It is not tough as we imagine. Only our celberated middle order f***ed up way too many matches.

But , many times we have lost with no fight back. India has competed tooth and nail in all 4 tests so far. That is endearing to watch. If they had some good team selection, they would be leading 2-1 here

Once again it is proven sending Washington sundar ahead of Gill on 4th day would have won that game for us.  He would have blocked the bowling and survived. We sent Akash deep as well instead. THat is where , we were tactically wrong. Sundar was very high on confidence after bowlign well.

This Trophy and series being named after the biggest stat padders living up to its name in full glory.

Like such pitch more than those three day test pitches 

[Gollum]

Poms are going to get belted on spicy Aussies pitches, bring it on. 

 

Most overrated team in modern era. Can't even make a WTC final.

indian media and players had a golden opportunity to celebrate 'retaining' the Anderson-Tendulkar trophy when they won at Oval. likewise not much was said on india's opportunity to retain the BGT at sydney in 2024/25 when it was 1-2 going into that. indians not really dailled into the concept of retaining trophies.

Don’t think anyone cares about retaining trophies outside of ashes.

Jaiswal at least scored a match winning 100 in Oval, on the toughest pitch of that series. People like Karun Nair, Sai Sudarshan, Jurel have been useless passengers whole year.
