not even close

Yeah, Not even the best this year.

That's either Steyn bopping Shami or Jadeja running out Anderson.

Ending had the feel of a lower grade club game when the club president turns up with the keys to the bar at 5.30.

An oddly good choice for MOM by channel 9

Wasn't the Steyn thing last year?

I just think Australia gave India's batting too much credit personally, when I saw Warner's comments earlier about how they don't have as many runs I was like wtf, would have never imagined an Australian player saying something like that.

The Kohli-effect.

Cue Jono putting up the deodorant commercial pic.

Who got it?

 

[Gnske]

Who got it?

Harris, did exceptionally well given the wicket, although Kohli probably deserved it just as much for running out Darsh in that fashion

Can't say I am too impressed with Smith's captaincy today. Felt that the declaration was about 10 overs too late, didn't go out for all out attack till quite late in the game and decided to shake hands with just 4 overs left.

 

[Swingpanzee]

I expect the Indians to gloat over this...Indian press conference gonna be very fun tonight

Oh yeah, possibly late last year.

The England collapse to ishant is unmatched anyway though .

 

[vic_orthdox]

Think there might have been a few fast bowlers happy to walk off at that point.

I think Australia missed a trick today. They declared way too late, and even now - why did Smith walk over to Dhoni with 4 overs to go? If one of these batsmen had fell, I am pretty sure Yadav, Shami and Ishant could have been knocked over quite easily. Is Smith not an aggressive captain?

Gonna be great to watch Dhoni call Smith defensive just like I predicted.

Fixed incorrectly.

Fixed

damn him and his series-winning declarations

Hard to be too harsh. He batted India out of the game and therefore won the series. Win would've been a nice bonus but he secured the trophy.

was probably contained in that 7th ODI last year vs india

I'd have gone Harris as well, good choice.

Dhoni can **** off, in no ways did he "dictate terms"
