    @foobaNZ I was being honest.

    Problem with your view is it wouldn't be shared (boom tish) by 90% of cricket followers. they and the record would say that there had been 3 winners of TC.

    I agree shared titles suck, so lets have a winner. Marginally prefer Oz simply as the reaction to another Indian loss would be entertaining and it'd be good to see a monkey clambering onto their shoulders.

    OZ definitely well ahead after Day 1

    @dogmeat I'm gonna have to disagree there, you really think 90% of cricket followers would view them as joint winners? I wouldn't think it's anywhere near that high. Every comment section for eternity would question it.

    Look, hassle us all you want, we’re still the first ever winners and will remain so.

    Under that title. We held the mace long before your winning percentage threatened the 20s

    You’ve done better in the Ashes too. It’s not fair. World Cricket hate New Zealand.

    @MN5 Have we ever one the Ashes?

    I can't remember the last time we even challenged.

    You're right. It's a CONSPIRACY

    That guy Don Bradman is made up too. I never saw him play.

    As if anyone would average that much.

    Travis Head scoring 163 in an innings at ~94 against the second best Test team this year is something special.

    Aus 469
    India 151/5

    Aussies would've expected a bigger score than that considering where they were on at the end of day 1.

    Game moving along relatively quickly and the weather forecast looks good

    Some very shit decisions by the middle order even if India were bowling a bit tighter.

    On offer was a total near 600 if Head stopped chasing the short ball, Smith didn't hang his bat to an average delivery, and Green used his feet.

    The wickets of Pujara and Gill made me laugh - leaving balls in that channel against the bowler's angle was fraught with peril.

    India might have valued Ashwin with the bat in their lower order too...

    They just crack under pressure in finals.

    They're not finished yet. While we're looking good at 5 down for -318, it is only stumps day 2.

    Let's say they go for under 300 and we rack up a couple hundy in the third innings: Pujara will bat for 2 days, the fluffybunny.

    Their wicket keeper might have a word to the bowlers about the short stuff tho - all well and good if that is the plan to Head and Smith, but the issue with bowling short to Australia is they can bowl short to you as well. And better.

    28 degrees in London today and off to the cricket with another kiwi mate. We've decided to support Australia to keep the trophy in our part of the world.

    Despite @NTA trying to claim the underdog status I reckon India are fucked already personally

    The Australian team is seriously classy.
