Rohit's decision to delay the declaration beyond the drinks break when England were expecting him to declare has played havoc with England's mindset. Underappreciated masterstroke. #Dada

India has been so successful in doctoring pitches since the last time Eng won the series in India that Bumrah averages 15.64, Siraj 16.66, Shami 21.28 and Umesh 24.71. Imagine the skills required to doctor a pitch where only Indian fast bowlers and spinners can exploit it.

First 25 Tests. 100 wickets. More than 1000 runs. Six 5-wkt hauls and 1 hundred. 18 of those Tests at home. Indian cricket would have been so utterly unprepared for a cricketer of such immense talent as Kapil when he came onto the scene.

I am not able to relate to this scale of fast bowling riches. At least Ishant took his time to become this good and to some extent Shami too. But Bumrah and Siraj came into Test cricket pretty much fully formed. Unreal.

If you grew up playing cricket where the batsman didn't care about which side you bowl from but the umpire (who is from the batting the) does and is itching to signal a no-ball because he didn't hear you mention "right arm over", you would never ever venture out of the crease

I am blown away by the revelation in that Bharat Arun interview by Ashwin that the choice to go for a win in the last few overs was left entirely up to the batsmen in the middle. Players/Coaches opening up post this series has given us a much better sense of what goes on inside.

There was a 3-Test series down under in 2019/20 which Aus won by 296, 247 and 279 runs respectively. The opposition is the reigning world champions in Tests now. Not to mention the series also exposed a weakness in the greatest bat of the era and he hasn't been the same since.
