**Official** 5th Test at Sydney, 3-7 Jan 2025

[subshakerz]

Honestly think this series win is a harbinger of Australian advantage in BGT for the foreseeable future.

They will tour India next with a lot more confidence with Ashwin gone. Bumrah IMO will not tour Australia again and he is a trumpcard to any India win in Aus.

The days of beating Australia for fun are over.. feeling sad

Feeling sad that fraud Rohit and Kohli are permanently dropped ?

That fraud Rohit and his wife used their contacts in Bollywood to generate sympathy for him although it spectacularly back fired .
Now atleast selectors can permanently drop fraud Rohit and English Kohli and start grooming youngsters or new batsmen

 

[Burgey]

I think we can all agree the series scoreline flattered India enormously.

Nature has healed. Aus holding all the big trophies is just the proper order of things.

Go woke, win everything.

 

[Coronis]

You need a bullet to the head for this garbage.

You need to learn what sarcasm is before you spew garbage

These guys are so awkward

That Labu 'wooooo' took me back to my high school days of awkwardness.

 

[Spikey]

a shame that India didn't make the WTC final though. I'm sure Bavuma would have enjoyed getting revenge after Team India's attempts on his life a couple of years ago

 

[OverratedSanity]

If Kohli and Rohit go as a result of this series, it's a perfectly acceptable outcome.

 

[Coronis]

The funny thing about that game is that it didn't even turn very much, NZ just played Lyon about as badly as one could imagine

Yeah I’ll be honest I was just assuming from the scorecard. Wasn’t watching much cricket then.

 

[halba]

Congrats Aus on a well deserved win

As for India , I have to give my hats off to guys who selected 2 spin bowling all rounders on this wicket. If this loss results in the permanent dropping of Rohit , Kohli and Gill then it will be worth it .

Those 3 completely finished in tests. There about half dozen young guys in Ranji that can be tried.

 

[FBU]

Webster's average is 96.00

 

[Spark]

India had a ton of players missing tbf, was a terrific win. Collectively been trash since then though.

That's definitely fair but a better team - and, more pertinently, a better attack than England picked - would have really pushed it hard given how much India were scrambling to put a team together after the first game

 

[Prince EWS]

Get sloshed?

That's what the Day 4 tickets were for!

Go woke, go broke

FIFY

 

[Coronis]

imo if India played Sarfaraz they draw at worst.

 

[Prince EWS]

imo if India played Sarfaraz they draw at worst.

Why?

 

[OverratedSanity]

imo if India played Sarfaraz they draw at worst.

Of all the pitches to play Sarfraz, this certainly wasn't it.

 

[Coronis]

Why?

Well he certainly couldn’t have done worse than Rohit.

Plus he’s one of those young and upcoming Ranji blokes right

 

[Burgey]

Aus cricket returning to its rightful ascendency under the Albanese labor govt is what 2025 is all about

 

[social]

I just hope Webster knows as soon as he has a bad game or two it's time to go back to Tasmania

On the upside, payment from 3 tests will allow him to buy the biggest house in Launceston

And the seafood is great

The fact that India competed to this extent is a credit to them honestly. It became clear there is some mental block that just stops Australia from getting into positions of dominance against India and Australia almost had to battle themselves.
