Lyon to J Yadav, OUT, there it is. Australia complete a sensational 333-run win. Slow through the air, saw Jayant coming, dragged that length back, allowed the ball room to turn. It did, hit the glove and lobbed up for the keeper to take. The umpire’s finger went up almost instantaneously. But there was no glove on that. Just pad. India don’t have reviews left.

hahaha, screw India!

Set for a good weekend now. I’m grumpy when the aussies lose

WTF! Starc named MOM.

Aceman · February 25, 2017, 9:41am

Munchen_Don · February 25, 2017, 9:42am

lol. Starc was second best, but no way was so’k not MOTM

Windy_Dill · February 25, 2017, 9:43am

Starc looked embarrassed to accept the award.

WTF! Starc named MOM.

Guess Warne was the judge.

cricinfo: “Steve O’Keefe is the Man of the Match”
what’s going on?

Windy_Dill · February 25, 2017, 9:48am

SOK was man of the match? What award did Starc win?

dontildeath · February 25, 2017, 9:49am

The sweetest victory of all for the true believers.
(Sorry Paul)

Munchen_Don · February 25, 2017, 9:49am

Windy Dill trolling?

Winderland · February 25, 2017, 9:53am

Starc was awarded a player of the match award by some sponsor. But they then also have the main man of the match which SOK won. Bit weird.

cricinfo: “My first six wickets was ordinary, I had to change it up quickly”

first six overs maybe?

Starc was the “bankable player of the match” not MOTM.
Whatever that means.
O’Keefe, of course, was MOTM

Aceman · February 25, 2017, 9:59am

Starc was the "bankable player of the match" not MOTM. Whatever that means. O'Keefe, of course, was MOTM

Yeah, saw that. Bit strange

Sorry to harp on this, but just loving the irony of the dodgy pitch bringing about their undoing. A classic case of “the biter bit” !!
Bet there’ll be a lot more said about this in the next few days. Can’t wait!

Sorry to harp on this, but just loving the irony of the dodgy pitch bringing about their undoing.

And oh how extraordinarily sweet it is. Doubly so because they didn’t rate our spinners especially.

I’ve been critical in the past of the Aus Test side’s arrogance, but crikeys they have nothing on the Indians. NOTHING.

Aceman · February 25, 2017, 10:14am

I love the fact that they were so horrible with the DRS. Most of their reviews were horrid and having used them all up they couldn’t get some of their howlers overturned lol

rossoneri · February 25, 2017, 10:17am

Problem with producing a dodgy pitch like that is of you lose the toss you are way behind the 8-ball
