X2. Can't remember a player in any sport who had so much say over his selection. His overweening confidence leans towards rampant narcissism.

Nice win though and its always nice to beat India and keep test cricket on the front pages of the Hindustan times....their super keen fans wont be happy.?

Good win to Australia. Test champions (officially) for the first time. One of many more to come.

Just comes in the same way and bangs it in on the right spots all day.

Indians didn't bitch too much when two of Cummins' dismissals were recalled due to after the fact no balls.
Re: God help me - the Test Cricket thread - LP - 06-16-2023
I'm gobsmacked but not surprised, listening today to SEN Sport pretty much every Ashes specialist they have interviewed expects Starc, Cummins and Hazelwood with Lyon.
Boland must be wishing he was a Saffie, or worse a NSWelshman!
