There's a decent chance Boland never plays another Test, right?

Yep

Two of our depth bowlers have taken 5-fa's in the last two Tests. Nice.

I’m giving MOTM to Harris

 

[Biggie]

MOTM has to be Scott Boland

6/7 off 4 overs

Remarkable

I think that’d be an unpopular choice.

How fantastic

The series is wrapped up, surely you give Boland another test based on this match.
Give Starc a rest in one of the last two matches.
Give Neser, Boland and Richardson some game time.

Big game oracle.

Perth didn't miss much losing the test, I can barely be bothered turning the tv on to watch it never mind going to the ground and paying to watch the shitrat english cricket team.

Yeah, everyone at the MCG the last two days looked like they were having a terrible time.

Test cricket is far better when there’s something in the pitch for the bowlers even if that means it doesn’t last the full 5 4 3 days

You have to take into account I'm a tightarse who likes to get value for money.
I always find 1 pt wins in footy more enjoyable than 100 pt ones. Ditto with cricket.

Seeing a tight contest is great.

But so is seeing England in a world of hurt.

Someone had better pinch Boland so he knows he's not dreaming. Well done to the hometown hero and suck it England, you just got destroyed by our sixth choice bowler.

The Test finished before the Sydney to Hobart race, apparently. I imagine that's quite rare.

I’ve never met anyone who has even a passing interest in the Sydney to Hobart

Crushing England is like crushing the Dokers. It's just so satisfying, even if the contest is non-existent.

Hard to imagine a weaker capitulation from a test team than what we saw in Englands 2nd innings

I have a passing interest in the catastrophic incident that seems to occur during the race every year.

Gotta get that run rate down...

Despite the ridiculously early finish, that was an enthralling couple of days of Test cricket. Much prefer that than the boring Boxing Day draw when the pitch offers nothing.

100%

Helps if the batting isn’t already diabolical though
