few others worth honourable mention…. Labuschange not too far away, Lyon lurking around…

Deep wasn’t awful, but I guess this was a bowling dominated series…. And there were some great quicks on display.

Sharma would have Marsh as v/c

I'm keen on the women's ashes, I don't miss too many women's games, just not much of a fan of the T20 shit that will be in the lead up games.

The women's test match is not till 29th January, that I am looking forward to

Kholi should be captain of the Duds XI

was thinking whether this Indian team is more hatable than the current English team - but apart from a few standouts in India - England have the edge overall.

On the fans side, would have to say that the Indian fans are the more insufferable. Both English and Indian fans seem to know nothing about the actual sport - but at least the English have an excuse that most of them are just soccer fans on the bandwagon. For a country that has cricket as their number 1 sport they seem to know little about it and assume that every player in their starting XI is some sort of superstar

Are the English really that hateable? They're basically just a self perpetuating meme to me at this point so I dunno.

Cricket is like a religion in India and the Indian fans worship their heroes like Kholi. Even when he carries on like a dick like he did against Konstas, they still support him on the socials because "he is their king" and all they have in response is Sandpaper jokes.

Kholi could take a dump in the middle of the SCG and they would all stand around it and worship it, they are that brainwashed.
