Geeze I don’t think I can ever recall a better game of T20 cricket than what we’ve just seen at the MCG. Amazing stuff from both teams. Virat’s dig one of a kind.👏👏
Cleaning the garage out today and came across my arsenal of weapons over the years. My favourite was 2nd from the end on the right. Note my Symonds Super Tusker thought it was ripper in the day but looks like a plank.
This just unfathomable to lose another great of our cricket family. Warnie was the ultimate entertainer on and off the field, never a dull moment who lived life to the fullest.Deepest condolences to his loved ones.
RIP mate.
McCullum/Stokes changing the way test cricket is to be played. Courageous, fearless positive mindset gets them a win in Rawalpindi on the most docile surface. I don’t think any other team in world cricket would have rolled the dice like that.Bring on the Ashes next year.👏👏
So incredibly sad to hear of the passing of Rod (Bacchus)Marsh an absolute icon of Aust cricket. Had the pleasure of working with Rod for a number of years as a selector and you wouldn’t meet a more honest, down to earth, kind hearted person. RIP🙏
I’m all for a good contest between bat and ball in test match cricket but this pitch in Chennai is unacceptable at test match level. You can’t have the ball going through the top of the surface on day 1 from the main part of the pitch. Ie not from the footmarks.
Congrats to the Aussie cricket team beating Pakistan in Pakistan which is not a easy task. It was a tough grind for both teams on 3 very unresponsive pitches. 👏👏
@MichaelVaughan
Scores would have been even lower in the last 2 tests if Jadeja had been playing. You know when Joe Root gets 5/8 the pitch is very questionable.
Against all odds India’s 2 performances in Melb/Sydney would have to rate as 2 of there greatest in there rich history. Aust have played there part in this amazing series of high quality cricket and I expect them to bounce back in the 4th test on
@FoxCricket
. Can’t wait!
Warnie gone way too soon but never ever forgotten. What a absolutely amazing tribute to him tonite with the pizzaz, passion and entertainment so typical of the great man. Big congrats to all those people involved in the production. 👏👏🙏
Unbelievable innings from Mitch Marsh. Has hardly miss hit a ball. 👏👏Mark Wood Englands most dangerous bowler by a hundred yards has bowled just the 9 overs in 2 sessions. Not sure what Stokes is saving him up for.
Huge win by our boys coming back from early tournament wobbles. Great leadership, skill and belief to get the job done and beat the home side who themselves were a elite ODI team. T. Head had some final series almost single handily winning us the trophy. 👏👏
No words can do justice to that game and that innings by Stokes. Unbelievable!Aust had there chances and that LBW decision of Lyon will mean a sleepless night for all Aussies.
What a wonderful couple of months for Aust cricket winning the T20 WC and now wrapping up The Ashes in emphatic style. Hats off to the team management and players. 👏👏
What an amazing series of test cricket one of the best I can ever recall watching. India went to another level to win after so many setbacks and I don’t think anyone would have predicted that. Congrats to both teams especially India on a tough, skilful and enthralling series.👏
Went to bed at 8/142 and I wake up and we have doubled our score. Steve Smith is amazing showing tremendous concentration self belief and skill. Aussies now back in the game after a forgettable 1st 2 sessions.
What a freakish innings by Maxi last night. I think there would only be only a handful of batsmen in the history of the game who could play anything like that. Super hand/eye coordination with a bit of squash/hockey/cricket in that wrist work.👏👏
@FoxCricket
Im still trying work out did India misread the conditions, underrate the opposition , get stage fright or simply individually batted selfishly. Maybe a bit of all that.!
India led by
@imVkohli
were too good for Aust in Melb with some standout performances from Pujara and Bumrah in particular. Bumrah is world class and a handful on any surface. Look forward to the SCG test where Aust look to square up what has been a high quality series.
Fair dinkum enough is enough watching this disrespectful imbicile Kyrgios keep doing the same thing time and time again and keep getting away with it. Have to question the governing body whoever that is to allow him to keep playing.
Huge congrats to the
@BLACKCAPS
on a great victory in the WTC final. India played there part as well in a high quality match.Brilliant innovation by ICC and look forward to it getting bigger and better every year.👏
I know speed guns are a bit of a gimmick but if we are going to use them in the
@BBL
can we get them accurate please. I’m pretty sure Peter Siddke is not a 144kmph bowler these days.😜
Absolutely thrilled to see Mitch Marsh win the AB medal. A team man through and through who has had to prove people wrong his whole career. You wouldn’t know it though takes everything on the chin and goes about his game. The best is still ahead of him.👏
@TomMoodyCricket
Agree totally. NZ were brave and stiff not to win given the circumstances. But the harsh reality is you have to take your chances when they ptesent. T.Boults catch on the rope was unfortunately the telling blow.
#onethatgotaway
What a thrilling test match we’ve just seen in Karachi. Congrats to both teams particularly Aust who forced the running most of the game on what can only be described as a slab of concrete type pitch. Aust take there catches they still win but Babar innings was one out of the box
Great game of cricket tonite. Good fight from Aust but Kohli is the best all round batsmen in world cricket and the most orthodox. All batsmen should take note of how he plays.
Huge shock to hear of the devastating news of our great mate
@GavRobbo375
. Just recently had the pleasure of his company on holiday in Bali.Have known him since the age of 12 and I’m sure he will fight this battle with all his guts and determination.
#oneofthegoodguys
Well done to both teams on a exciting Boxing Day test match played on a excellent pitch. The old saying ‘catches win matches’ was a big factor. As for the Rizwan decision it clearly looked out to me with the ball brushing part of the wristband on the glove.
Great Ashes series and big congrats to both teams for providing entertaining quality cricket. 2-2 I think is a fair result but with both teams probably thinking they should have won the series.
Congrats to Chappelli on a wonderful career on and off the field. Lasted the test of time as a commentator through the decades with his great knowledge and straight shooting style.👏👏🍷
Looks like the Indian batsmen have never seen a moving ball before. Kiwis looking good. India will need a Pant and Dhoni masterclass to get over the line.
Pardon the pun after the farce at the Gabba tonite but cricket has got to come out of the dark ages. Sometimes the light is not perfect or the outfield might have a damp patch but unless it’s dangerous we’ve got to change the mindset and just play. Get on with it.
@MichaelVaughan
Geeze you change your mind every day of the week. 3 clear standout teams in Eng, India and Aust. The best thing is for the purists/spectators is they can all beat each other on any given day.
#bringonfinals
Steve Smith keeps raising his own bar. Just when you think you’ve seen it all he goes to another level. Amazing hand/eye coordination compliments enormous mental strength and hunger for runs.
#freakish
@Bazmccullum
Unbelievable should be a movie come out about that game. I thought we Aussies played in the most dramatic ODI game in 99 but that was something else. First time in my life I’ve actually felt sorry for you Kiwis.
#unforgettable
I just can’t get my head around these Aust field placements on the off side. Tall, good pace,
fast bowlers often hitting the splice of the bat with no fieldsmen near the bat between 4/5th slip and mid off. Hang on there is a backward point for Starc v Ali.
Great job Aust with the ball and in the field. Miller with one of the best tons I’ve seen in a World Cup. 213 to win for Aust may not be as straight forward as it looks on a tricky pitch.
@MichaelVaughan
If England don’t win this this test match they’ll only have themselves to blame.What on earth is Dom Bess ( and Jo Root)doing 13 of 44 balls when you’re 390 in front.🤷♂️
Enthralling test match between Aust/NZ. Superb run chase with Alex Carey and Mitch Marsh playing beautifully. 👏👏NZ tried so hard but in the end just lacked a world class bowler to finish the job.
Fancy the Aussies to win tonite after the great batting of Smith and Wade yesterday.Tactics as follows. Cummins -aggressive,Siddle and Pattinson-stump to stump Lyon-Consistency and let the pitch do the rest and throw in Smith the Smokey for a pole or two out of the rough.
Great innings by Shaun Marsh in extreme conditions. In hot conditions it is even tougher on the batsmen with all the gear on than the bowlers and fielding team.
Wow what a test match and series so far. Absolute high level of skills on show from both teams played with great passion and competitiveness. Aust too big and strong in Perth but expect India to feel more comfortable in Melb and Syd.
#welovetestcricket
Great test match to work on with
@FoxCricket
and Aussies fought very hard right to the end but India a fraction to good and to be honest the scoreline was a little flattering for Aust given India gave half the wickets away on day4. Series very much alive though.
Enthralling first session of test match cricket between India and England on
@FoxCricket
. Can’t help but thinking India have got there selections wrong. Surely Ashwin must play instead of Sharma with 5 lefties in England’s side.
Summary of the 3rd test 1-greatest finish to a test match I ever seen 2-Stokes innings was phenomenal 3-Aust created enuff chances day 4 to win but fluffed there lines with 2 crucial run out misses and 2 drop catches 4-Howler of a umpire decision at the death cost Aust the win.
Congrats to the Aust cricket team on big series win over the Kiwis and to Peter Siddle on a super career. All the action captured beautifully on
@FoxCricket
. Bring on the SCG test where the Aussies will look to dominate again.
