No, he's doing what I'm trying to say, don't sit there and congratulate and saying well played, emotionally express out and trying to show off on the field.
@CricCrazyJohns
Look at this for 3 years, it gets into a problem for South Africa:
2018: AB, Morkel
2019: Amla, Vernon, Tahir, JP, Steyn
2020-21: Faf
Would Faf are the last member of South African golden generation to retire.

“Frankly, if you’re a SL player you’ll hate this situation with the Indian team. If you win, it will be because of India team being hit by Covid and if you lose you will be panned big time by media. You can only lose reputation, not gaining any.”
@cricketcomau
Never said turn means more wickets, because Australia spinners have match up issue and lack of variation, they won’t get as much purchase.

Bigger history I guess, but in the present, the biggest rivalry is India vs New Zealand. The Ashes right now is 2 teams fight off to see who’s the 3rd best test team in the world, surely Australia.
Scenario here, anyone who win this match will leap pass India, should one team win 3-0, they'll move past England on the chart on 2nd spot after Australia. a 2-1 results will make sure the winning team will move around top 4 with Pakistan.

No. Not enough grass on the pitch, it will be a bat fest match. That grass is just for holding, it's too thin for seam movement.

Ben Stokes Leed's miracle with poor DRS and multiple drops
Elected to bowl at the Kennington Oval which is a bat first wicket
Elected to bat on a grassy MCG pitch
3 dropped catches at the SCG which was his off day
And a loss at the Gabba, the only captain to do so in a long time.

Not in test. This era is the great era of fast bowling when it comes to test. The best teams have the best fast bowlers, and scoring has been low.

@ESPNcricinfo
Has not able to do that. It's them that AB retired, then Amla, Morkel, Vernon, Steyn too, not to include JP and Tahir are gone.
@CricCrazyJohns
England usually play better cricket at the MCG than any other ground they played here. If they don’t win this, the Ashes is proven to be a lost cause.
@AbdullahNeaz
@CricCrazyJohns
Isn’t that even a question? Dukes ball have a hard shell, so they shine for about 50 overs and it got a wide prominent seam too, which means it seam and swing for a very long time before a batsman can even get settled.

Agreed, if you talk about Asia vs SENA, it’s very one sided to SENA favour, only India are standing, this theory applies especially in white ball.
