Massive endorsement of the Shield too tbh. Picked to play exactly the same way as he has done, on basically the same sort of pitches, and has backed it up at the higher level

Mate that wasn’t the only incorrect decision. The fact that Umpires thought that Warne could dismiss Tendulkar in Test was shocking . Go and check highlights of First Test dismissal . We had lengthy discussion about this

Bit nervous about Beau in Sri Lanka. He bat padded a nothing ball from Washy today on this wicket, who knows how he would get torn apart on a dustbowl. Reckon he needs to channel 2001 Hayden and use his reach to sweep everything in those conditions

CA actually posted an hour long highlights package from that game (if we're talking about the MCG game) recently and man oh man are we lucky to have DRS. Both sides got absolutely shafted on multiple occasions.
EDIT: Oh no that was the second Test, never mind.

Well played, Australia! South Africa vs Australia it is then for WTC. Should be a cracker.

He whinged about a lack of whingeing? That's great.

Imagine if South Africa didn't choke the T/20 World Cup final..... Sharma would have nothing
Kohli at least got the 2011 ODI world cup experience.

Yeah the laws of cricket clearly state that Warne cannot dismiss Tendulkar in Tests.

His much maligned successor at MI saved his ass. Hopefully he is dropped from MI too.

I think from memory the first "Border-Gavaskar' Trophy series was in 1996 but that was a one match series.

There is no reason at all that I can think of that Scott Boland and Beau Webster can be dropped from the Australian Test team. They both deserve at the very least to be on the plane for the upcoming Test match tour to Sri Lanka.

Absolutely, he was Tendulkar’s bitch . Infact Warne was so bad against India in absence of McGrath that Mumbai defeated Australian Test team in 3 days (screenshot attached)
As I had said 3 years earlier also , that was a sympathy MoS . You can’t blame even BCCI for that MoS award because it wasn’t that powerful in 1999

Cricket would still have been a English-speaking sport if not for Tendulkar . He will be mentioned even in 2070 BGT.The end of a fantastic BGT series and people are talking about what Tendulker did or didn't do 25 years ago, wtf
