Crickets a game of fine margins & six more runs would see a different narrative. But four years in BazBall has given us many great individual test wins but no marquee series win of the sort that defines eras.

- "You're just a groundsman nothing beyond that" is pretty grim stuff from Gambhir.VIDEO | Indian team's head coach Gautam Gambhir was seen having verbal spat with chief curator Lee Fortis at The Oval Cricket Ground in London ahead of the last Test match of the series starting Thursday. After having drawn the fourth Test at Old Trafford, India have a chance
00:00 - The point where a fast bowler, who plays every meaningless T20, is made unavailable for an overseas test tour to a country where seamers thrive due to workload management, is the point where you should fire every single person involved in cricket decision making in your country.🚨 Shaheen Afridi won't be part of Test series against South Africa due to workload management.
- I can't recall a test in which there was such a comical gap between the best bowler on show & the next. I'm not even sure who that next would be. Probably Stokes... with an average 12 more than Bumrah's. I'm lucky enough to have seen some greats, but think Bumrah tops them all.
- Seven test hundreds in Australia as an overseas batsman, mostly in the era of Cummins, Hazelwood, Starc & Lyon really is one of the great individual batting achievements.
- Giving a send off to a bloke who's just smoked a run a ball 140 is an approach I supposeThere was a bit happening here between Head and Siraj after the wicket 👀 #AUSvIND

- It's not difficult to understand why there is not a lot of love for English cricket globally when a test series - against the powerhouse team of the last decade no less - is described as a warm up for the Ashes."The perfect warm-up for the Ashes" Graeme Swann on England's Test series against India 🏴 🇮🇳
00:00 - Genuinely blows my mind that KL Rahul averages the same as Ollie Pope given my perception of the two players.
- Stuart Broad saying "Look at the Ashes series we've just played...they've reverse-swung the ball sometimes in conditions you wouldn't expect it to. I don't understand why they've changed their method for this one game" is one of the cleverest & funniest things said by a cricketerNo offence to anyone but sandpaper can do these wonders.
