    India have about 11 fit players, dug heels in on bubble conditions in Brisbane, called out racial abuse, and batted 131 overs against Cummins, Hazlewood, Starc and Lyon for a draw so can still retain Trophy. I'm not sure there's ever been a salvage job to match that #AusvInd

    Aust have won a Test match in India, claimed the Test Championship and retained the Ashes in England, and now reached the World Cup final also in India, all in the space of nine months. Whatever happens on Sunday, that's a huge feat of durability, temperament and skill #CWC23

    Amazing how Bangladesh can be *that far* ahead on DLS yet now they need more runs per over than they did before it rained #T20WorldCup

    There is something wrong with the system if you get rewarded for not playing any Tests overseas for nearing on 3 years...
