Exactly... Australia are the Harvey Weinsteins of cricket... yes they've some success on the way... but in the end they'll be remembered for their filthiest days.

I have to say, I really wanted us to get something out of the MCG test just for the purpose of salvaging some pride but more importantly avoiding the big five o. Now that’s off the table, I’ve struggled to get up for this one. I’ve watched it when I’ve been awake and it’s been on, but it’s definitely epitomised a dead rubber for me. I’d like Root to get his ton to get the monkey off his back, and obviously it’d be nice if we did pull off the draw but honestly I am so glad it’s over. Looking forward to the ODIs. Anyone know if they’re on BT too?
Sidenote, whatever happens later this is definitely a better showing than the last Sydney test when you knew from the go we just wanted to get the **** out of dodge

India will score some big totals, they just don't have the bowling lineup to get the job done imo.
Kumar will be like Philander in Aus, he will have his moments, but the Aus batsmen will eat him up at his pace.
Pandya is a find certainly, will definitely help balance their side in Australia over someone like Jadeja, he seems to make things happen as a cricketer, but bowls in the low 130's, realistically he will bowl a little better than Mitch Marsh does in Aus conditions.

At least he's not throwing it away like usual

A good thing for many reasons IMO. Unfortunately they’re a bit pointless in England aside from early May or late August

Yeah definitely wouldn't complain about it. Better pitches, great spectacle, protection of players.
On the downside, Dean Jones might never ever shut up about his ****ing 200 if we curtail play in 40c+ temps.

Ch 9 comms saying England can’t defend all day to save the game.
Did they say the same when Oz were in the same position in Melbourne? Not sure but I’d doubt it.

Really don't think Moeen Ali should've been picked for this Test as he looked completely mentally gone in Melbourne; no surprise his dismal form in all aspects continued.
