Best part to me was Joseph talking about his passion for Test Cricket in the post match interview. He said while he'll probably play some T20 his aim is to always be available to play Test Cricket for the West Indies with Brathwaite patting him on the back right after.

Head was due a quiet summer after his winter heroics, no issues there. Our problem is our elite players have turned into good but not great ones. Smith and Labuschagne are performing to a level where they won't be dropped, but their returns are smaller than is years past. The rest of the...

Then explain why NZ are playing a 4 Test series against us in a couple of years? Perhaps be honest and admit you have no interest in the format and your only motivation here is to belittle people who would like to see more Test Cricket.

That's bad umpiring. People on here would be absoloutly livid if it had of been one of our bats. Maybe I'm biased, I'd love to see a Pakistan win here for the good of Test Cricket. Another whitewash Australian summer is just going to kill the game.

His highest score is 199, would be a big moment in his second last Test. Something refreshing about overseas Test cricket commentary, way more mature and insightful discussion compared to in Australia where the directive seems to be "you aren't a commentator, you're a wannabe comedian".

Deserves his own separate applause that the win would overshadow, don't mind it (not that the Indian supporters are clapping).

From Indian Cricket Reddit: "Before i swear off reddit or any other social media for the next few months... I would like to put something off my chest Dear Kohli, shove that 50th century up your butt Dear shami, shove those 50 world cup wickets where sun doesn't shine And Mr. Selfless...

One of the best ever hundreds. Under immense pressure in a World Cup Final as underdogs with a billion Indians willing you to fail. Kohli has never played an ODI knock as good as this.

Don't want to jinx it but proud of these two, had a really sinking feeling after Smith's wicket that we were going to botch it but our two batsmen of the future have held their nerve.

Back to Mickey Mouse Cricket you hack.

Just thinking how massive that catch from Head was, could be staring down the barrel right now if he dropped it.

If we get SKY cheaply it'll be the ultimate consequence for carrying someone who has never shown he has what it takes in this format.

Short form Smith is one of the most frustrating cricketers.

I don't think Joe Root suggesting we play until 10pm is the same as asking for the umpire to pick a ball from the box that actually looks similar to the one that's just been in play.

I would have taken the WTC vctory and a drawn Ashes before we left Australia, being 2-0 up and going on to draw is really the only reason it feels disappointing. After our loss to Sri Lanka in the second Test last year I had genuine fears of a disaster away from home so it's nice that it didn't...

Carey has now gone two series in a row where he has started well and then fallen away completely. At 30+ years of age he needs to contribute a bit more, should be under pressure during the home summer.

Um, he was talking about the complete debacle which was the ball change Nasser you absolute ****.

Have made a good game of it, could of easily fallen to water and been out for 220 or something pathetic so I'm happy enough with what we've done here. Couldn't overcome the final hurdle of a series win, but retained the Ashes away and won the WTC. England are unlikely to do either for a long time.

It's annoying watching Woakes knowing he's the bowling equivalant of late stage Warner. Bowled 5 overs and was toothless when conditions didn't suit yesterday.

Big shame, the change of the ball was still the catalyst though.

Highly disagree with people saying we've got the Ashes so let's risk throwing the game. I feel like even the players were always more interested in the series win. While it'll be great for the first time in 20+ years, it'll also be redemption for 10/11 which is always brought up despite...

He knew he'd dropped it but hoped it would get upheld on a technicality, a bit like your World Cup win.

How is them not losing the review even a question, reviewing a dropped catch? How cooked are these umpires?

Justice for Starc.

Back to praying for rain.

Regardless of what happens, the "rain saved Australia in the fourth Test, otherwise we win the Ashes" excuse can go and get ****ed. if we were bowling to England with this ball, their side would be dismissed by now.

England will likely put us under pressure in the first hour, but if things don't go their way it'll be back to spin and trying to change the ball every two overs. While they may have stopped some momentum last night, with the ball change we could of easily ended up 1-2 down before the rain...

Thinking back to Trent Bridge when we were chasing 311 and Rogers & Watson had a really good opening stand but we couldn't follow up with enough. Can't get complacent, if we were able stretch this partnership up to 185, only needing 200 runs should give the rest of the dressing room a lot of...

Warner out of the nervous 20s.

Would be really predictable for us to lose a wicket the over before lunch. Done well so far, please don't.
