Last.Where does Lillee stands?
In many ways, this 3-1 (assuming Sydney game goes by form) will be the opposite of the 3-1 loss in England we had in 2018. There, the games were far closer and we were in the games far longer than the scoreline shows. Here its the opposite, somehow.On the balance of play, this series has really not been close overall. Even this game which was great to watch only became strangely close after a freak Bumrah spell. If Australia had lost this, we'd be saying they **** the bed. Great series to watch but sometimes, the series scoreline doesn't really convey the gap between the sides and I think this is one of those. India have been rank for the most part.
Ambrose bowled to the strongest batting line ups. He should be number 1. Taking the batting line ups they would have bowled to into consideration I'd rank them like this.yep okay i rechecked the stats - fast bowlers only. thanks.
1. Mcgrath
2. Bumrah
3. Cummins
4. Hadlee
5. Ambrose
the home bowlers top 2- obviously Mcgrath and Cummins now. These two are elite home bowlers, the rest of home bowlers are significantly behind IMO. I think 3rd best is Lillee and then Mcdermott/Hazlewood.
The visiting bowlers are Bumrah, Hadlee and Ambrose the top 3.
This seems fair.
Australia will run into problems in Tests once Cummins retires in a few years...generational talents, well they take a long time to emerge.
India will run into major strife once Bumrah retires in 4-5 years also.
Bruh you blokes celebrated avoiding a follow on.That's what 10 years of losses makes you do.

But seriously, I do think we played really well on days 1, 3 and 4 here. Maybe didn't finish the job a couple of times but we have not been hopeless this test, far from it. It was just dumb batting in the last session that has cost us this test ultimately, inspite of the various mistakes prior to that.
And you blokes are celebrating beating the guys who celebrated avoiding the follow-on, like that.Bruh you blokes celebrated avoiding a follow on.
I don't know about the other Indians but I've only celebrated Jaiswal, Bumrah and Reddy performance in this seriesBruh you blokes celebrated avoiding a follow on.
Celebrating winning is the new losing." look at these losers they celebrated winning a vital Test match in the context of a series and the WTC"
Is that really what we're rolling with here
I wonder what he was thinking though? He's 3rd ump in a crucial test of a big series and this decision is going to decide the match. The on field decision is not out and then the 3rd ump sees the big deflection. You could excuse him thinking I'll just check snicko to make double sure and it shows nothing. I wonder if he was sweating bricks at that moment. So it was ballsy to stick with his decision to over turn‘No argument’ as experts back Bangladeshi umpire Saikat on Jaiswal decision
Jaiswal’s dismissal proved decisive as India collapsed, losing their final four wickets for just 15 runs to be bowled out for 155.www.thedailystar.net
Simon Taufel, a renowned former umpire from Australia, endorsed the decision.
"The third umpire did make the correct decision in the end. With the technology protocols, we do have a hierarchy of redundancy, and the umpire sees a clear deflection off the bat; there is no need to go any further and use any other form of technology to prove the case."
Is that you Master Oogway?Celebrating winning is the new losing.
True. What are you celebrating this time?And you blokes are celebrating beating the guys who celebrated avoiding the follow-on, like that.
This is precisely why you have fixed, written protocols that you always follow, so you take that out of it as much as possible. I'd be curious to see what the exact wording of the protocols are.I wonder what he was thinking though? He's 3rd ump in a crucial test of a big series and this decision is going to decide the match.

Good post. .if u adjust to the batting lineups. Ambrose bowled to the top tier aus batting lineup of the 90s. He was incredible.Ambrose bowled to the strongest batting line ups. He should be number 1. Taking the batting line ups they would have bowled to into consideration I'd rank them like this.
Ambrose
Bumrah
Hadlee
McGrath
Cummins
It wont be if our team were any better. We gotta clutch whatever straws are available.Is that really what we're rolling with here
Happy to say that this is roughly right if we're talking about pace bowlers only and restrict it to bowlers I've seen.Best bowlers ever in Australia grounds only.
1. Glenn Mcgrath
2. Jasprit Bumrah
3. Pat Cummins
4. Curtly Ambrose.
anyone agree? These are the top 4 IMHO.
True, it would. But I mean Taufel pretty much gives an indication, and I wasn't aware of that. You'd expect the 3rd ump would know them and give it out. Perhaps it indicates some pressure he was under and wanted the comfort of technology to back up what he was seeing - and then it showed nothing.This is precisely why you have fixed, written protocols that you always follow, so you take that out of it as much as possible.
