Kiwis lose key man ahead of Australia Test clash

Geez, he gave Matthew Wade some pain didn’t he? 😱 A great competitor and character, he should be very proud of what he has achieved. 👍

Wagner's last opera: NZ veteran to call it quits after Australia series

The English captain is not bowling and averaging 24. Hmm.

Bazball beaten: Indian young guns' nerveless stand aces chase, ensures Poms' first series loss under McCullum

Ollie Robinson has worked on his waistline, now he needs to work on his awareness and catching. A pretty pivotal moment. Might find himself rotated out for the 5th test. Terrific win for India batting last. 👍

New Bazball, same England: Tourists throw away India advantage with classic Pommy collapse

I love watching quality spin in testing conditions. Yadav is great to observe with the drift he gets and rip he gives the ball. So different to what we see here in Australia. England haven’t played badly and their inexperienced spinners have done well, but I’ll still take some joy out of seeing them lose! 😊

She was, for NSW. 😡

Paris, Hilton deliver dose of reality to Blues as WA make history with third straight one-day crown

I’m not completely up to speed on the strength of India’s batting but Jadeja at 5 seems at least 1 spot to high, possibly 2. Have they looked to strengthen the bowling with the absence of Bumrah but made the batting vulnerable?

Root silences Bazball critics while returning to form with ton as England keep comeback series win hopes alive

Thanks for the write up Gibbo. Well played Victoria, deserved the win. A good old school “hang tough” effort by Bancroft and Green. 👍

Round 8 Sheffield Shield wrap – Who's putting their hand up for an Aussie Test spot?

The Bush at no time was I “bragging”, Australia away from home are pretty poor, but that pitch was really not a surface which inn any way justified a score like England posted in the 4th innings and I think we would have shown a bit more resolve. I agree the Baz/Stokes combo have made some fairly outlandish statements but at sometime or other questions will be raised about the approach and whether it should be tempered. Keeping in mind that the current India team is rather good and losing to them at home isn’t totally unexpected! 😊 Generally our test pitches in Australia are flat, yes, there has been some improvement (Melbourne 👍 ) but Perth doesn’t in anyway resemble it’s reputation, Brisbane is “usually” a good wicket, Adelaide doesn’t turn like it used to on the last few days and they have to leave extra grass on it so the pink ball doesn’t loose it’s colour to quick, the last Hobart Ashes pitch was too juicy for a day/night game by far, and Sydney (And I’m from there) is just rubbish. You have more optimism re our batting than I do, I think they have been under-performing for some time, (Good innings from Smith in the last WI test) but we don’t have anyone in the SS banging on the door saying pick me, so I don’t see things changing too much in the near future. And from that I don’t think it was the pitches stopping us from big scores this season just gone, it was our poor batting. Anyways, looking forward to the “entertainment” the next 2 India-England tests are bound to provide! 👍

Ashwin out of Test after reaching major milestone as Duckett's Bazball blitz gives England a fighting chance

Maybe because they showed no appetite to hang tough? It wasn’t a bad pitch by Indian standards especially compared to a couple we faced last year. I have no problem with the full throttle approach England are using, it suits the skill set of their current group of players but that score in the last innings which they constantly talk themselves up as “We’ll chase down any score” should be a cause for a bit of introspection, and if so, they may well become the team they show the potential of being. And, just quietly, I think bazball might work very well in Australia on our mostly featureless pitches. I suspect the pitches will be a bit juicier than the norm to counteract this.

The self proclaimed “Saviours Of Cricket” might have to have a serious think about there approach to tests, there’s no way Australia would have chased down that 4th innings but on that pitch I’d back us to score more than 122.

The Roar will have to alter the heading for this article, Ashwin will returning to play in this test. Probably not what England wanted to hear.

Jaiswal has just hit Jimmy for 3 sixes in 3 balls. Maybe Stuie Broad had the right idea in retiring! 😂

Ashwin out of Test after reaching major milestone as Duckett's Bazball blitz gives England a fighting chance

England like to chase and India are down a bowler but surely a target of 450 is in mind and beyond reach? How much the pitch deteriorates will be key.

Yep, we should never have lost the Gabba test. WI kept themselves in the game and Shamar was fantastic, but 216 wasn’t a hard get. I reckon JL would have given them an Olympic class spray! 😂

I don’t know if he’s the tallest, but he’s bloody tall! Shared a urinal with him once, he blocked out all the light, I was worried I might wee on his leg! 😊

Chris Green nine for the match. I personally would have had Bancroft over Renshaw for the spare test batsman. Could be a great finish to the match yet.

Paine is the fella who made the comment “Wait till you get to the Gabba” And then lost. 😢
