INB4 Boland dropped for Hammywood again.

Brett Lee already got the motions in place. It’s a joke.

Boland would be a walk up if he was from NSW.

INB4 Boland dropped for Hammywood again.

Won't happen.

No Cummins in SL.

Will be Starc, Hazel, Boland, Lyon, Webster.

Aussies now hold every bilateral trophy plus the World Test Championship trophy.

We've also qualified for the WTC final against South Africa.

Scotty Boland was named man of the match with his 10 wickets.

Bumrah was named man of the series.

Kohli just embarrassed himself in the end. More focused on sledging this tour than scoring runs.

He has runs on the board and has been an absolute champion

I found it funny, but the timing was WAY OFF

The one that needs to pull his head in is Konstas

Nothing wrong with Kohli's carry on. It was funny and he was right.

the theatre of this series has been fantastic. Only the woke would be offended by the carry on. and they have short memories of how punter pigoen etc used to sledge opponenents

MATE
SPOT stuffing ON

I owned a cricket centre in Melbourne

Mates with many ex Aussie players

Australian players are the number one sledgers bar none

People worrying about this Kohli poo are putting their hands up and saying “we know nothing about cricket”

Biggest pot kettle black moment in history

And fancy those getting upset because the Indians are going after Konstas .. he’s an arrogant smart arse that’s giving more than he gets .. he’d be LOVING the banter .. and haha at them saying he’s only 19 .. lol .. boo freaking hoo .. 19 was a man two decades ago .. apparently now it’s a child that is being vilified

Woke Australia is a stuffing joke

[WilliamPowell]

I'm just trying to get my head around the coach saying what India did to Konstas was intimidation

The kid bought it on himself.

Fine line between youthful exuberance and arrogance. Konstas showing the latter IMHO. Again IMHO he needs to park the ego

His dismissal yesterday was pathetic for an opener in the context of the game...someone needs to have a word with him and preferably not the coach, who's too busy pampering the kids ego

Lots of good assessments here.

Great series. Contested to the end. Sledging awesome and agree with WP on Konstas.

Test cricket is alive and well.

Test cricket needed this series

Sensational stuff

[Diocletian]

The only sooks & woke flogs here are those telling Konstas to pull up. I hope he doubles down and starts pointing to where he's gonna hit his next 6 Babe Ruth style.

As for sandpapergate Australia's only crime was owning up to it unlike certain other countries who denied, played victim, made threats or played the race card when they got caught.(funny how "reverse swing" virtually disappeared across the world overnight for a few years afterwards)
