This is what BCCI is missing, they also need to have some set dates for test cricket in traditional venues.Every year. Pongal test in Chennai, Diwali test in Delhi and then Dussera test in Eden Gardens.

 

No matter what , they need to have some test series during these holidays. 

Diwali test in Delhi, yikes. 

[Gollum]

Pongal test in Madras used to be a tradition long time back. Chennai has great weather only that time of the year.

Nothing like the Boxing Day test. Wish the series was still alive.

They are using strategy they used for Sai Sudarshan lol leg slip bowl on pads.

Travis head is such a smart player. He is sensing there is a bit of nibble. PLaying dead straight.

[vvvslaxman]

Head dragged it on.  Vital wicket.

AUS intentionally throwing away this Test to save England the embarassment of losing all test matches. ICC needs to investigate this.
