Nah, it's a flaccid occasion.

Would back us to win if we had Pant even now.

Cummins deserves this after his rough year. Not that this will fill that hole but he'll at least feel great for a few days/weeks

What happened to Cummins this year?

His mother passed away.

 

[Adorable Asshole]

His mother passed away.

That's sad but he still won't get the trophy.

That's sad but he still won't get the trophy.

he's going to win both this and the ashes

Two crisply times cover drives in consecutive deliveries from Rahane that yielded 0 runs

Faith in clutch Umesh sixes?

Langer with the sly refusal to take accountability for the Australian team's losses under him. Good stuff tbh, I've enjoyed some of his subtle saltiness on commentary.

Yeah it's actually been by far the best part of his commentary.

Lyon bowling so little, along with the fact that he was dropped three times and lbw off a no ball, was a major contributing factor to Rahane making those first dig runs IMO. Lyon's dismissed him more than anyone else in Test cricket and Moeen is second. Gets away with it a bit more overseas but he's a notoriously horrible player of off spin for a right handed Indian batsman. Backing Lyon to get him cheap here.

He's sucked against every kind of bowling for years which has made things confusing.

It's really weird, NGL. There was a 3 year stretch before he got dropped where he was getting dropped by fielders as often as nicholls/marnus but was only averaging low 30's.

Tbf that is kinda balanced by the first 3-4 years of his career when he was getting sawn off by the umpires but was still averaging 50 odd. Think @Teja. made a thread about it.

Teja made a positive post about Rahane? Never!

oh brother you dont know the half of it. He's currently on a Rahane> Mohinder Amarnath (?) crusade on whatsapp in an attempt to trigger Rahane haters.
