Sachin saved the crowd reaction ahaha.... From Reigns boos for Srinivasan to Bryan cheers for tendulkar.

 

[Zinzan]

that awkward wave from vettori

Ah I missed it... I appreciate a good awkward wave.

I'd also add

• "and it's got a pony on the siiiiiiiide"

... but I fear that ad isn't just a WC thing.

no idea what that one is

 

[OverratedSanity]

No one remembers Misbah ffs.

Ian Bell cannot retire on his own terms. Its down to ECB and how comfortable they are with a team without Ian.

Imagine doing it in alphabetical order rather than batting.

As for the game, Australia were unquestionably excellent with the ball and in the field. Starc is without a doubt the most potent anti-mccullum weapon in cricket. I was really impressed with the Elliott - Taylor partnership which could've easily set the game up for us. Unfortunately we just had one of those passages of play where almost every single mistake resulted in a wicket and that's a real credit to how the Aussies maintained the pressure late into our innings. Our lads tried their hardest but **** just went wrong, wasn't much recovering from that especially since Australia's bowling attack isn't very tail-friendly.

In the field it's easy to focus on the ifs, the could'ves and the should'ves but defending 180 in the modern age on a good pitch you're always up against it, can't be too harsh there.

Well played Australia, the better team.

lol Did he miss KW?

Sachin looks pretty good in a suit. Can we make him our glorious dictator now? Tendulkar controlling India cricket could only be a positive.

If it's any consolation to the Shaky Islanders they've proved they're a **** of a sight better at this game than England

Number 3 position to be abolished in world cricket

I'm ready for the Alex Hales era and his to be mid 20's average.

what a man mccullum is, shouldve been an aussie

Jeeze McCullum's speech almost made up for his duck. Brilliantly said.
