Head. Is spanking pomes. 

[Gollum]

Indian players should watch and learn, phattuness in 4th innings chases never works.

What a comeback from Australia .

What a monster travis head has become , viru also used to provide this type of quick match winning starts 

[Gollum]

Going at 6 rpo, Poms completely rattled. 

[ravishingravi]

Aussies do have this unbelievable clutch. This cannot be taught.

Head on a different planet

Head is a mental monster. Under pressure or in big games, there is no one remotely close to him in world cricket. 

 

No wonder he brutalized us in WTC and WC finals. 

The other extreme of Kela

England if they cannot win again this Aussie team they are done in the series.

Tbh Viru was also a rubbish in 4th innings.

 

Only VVS and Pant have decentish 4th innings record for us since I started watching.

Ab koi rona nahi ki Head sirf hamein pelta hai. 

[R!TTER]

Head is mostly a frontrunner, between him & Stokes I'd pick Stokes on most days because he's done it over a longer period of time & from much worse positions & please that WC game was an easy chase even if Head got out early. The total was well below par given the dew.

[Manucrick]

Oh boy its  carnage. 

[ravishingravi]

This is not a difficult wicket. Both teams throwing away their wickets. 

[Manucrick]

Wicket gone 

[Forward Defence]

This is poor from Wetherald. Head is wrecking England , all he needed to do was stay there.

[Gollum]

Even Labu is being positive.

 

India is the only team that thinks it is a crime to go above 2 rpo in 4th innings. Jadeja tried to get remaining 60 runs in 60 overs in that Lord's test....Bumrah and Siraj gave him enough support to win the game. 

[nitinbwj]

Told ya..If Atkinson and Carse can attack,Aussies can too. 250 was the bare minimum and now the pitch has also settled down. 

[Gollum]

Guys like Viru, Jaiswal are reckless in 4th innings. This is controlled aggression by Head, also positive batting by their opener and #3, no panic. 

[Forward Defence]

Gigachad Vs Gigachad . Stokes vs Head

That was criminal batting by Jadeja,
