Credit where it’s due, I’ve never been a Khawaja fan but it seems he’s put in the miles to be able to guts it out.

Paine impressive as a stop gap captain solution too.

Yep. Pity Paine is old and reached his full potential at a late age.

I agree, that draw took some doing

I still think the PAK spinners will have the last say though

MIL has just returned from Sri Lanka with a replica ODI shirt.

I’ll be easy to spot at the First Test at The Gabba in the new year.

Just need to learn the national anthem.

Legroom and shorter queues at the bar! :drinkingwine:

The atmos may be a tad, subdued. Especially if India give the Aussies a good hiding. :sneaky:

Atmosphere should be very Indian, and definitely shorter queues at the bar.

Anyone see the Bancroft - gilly interview? My God what a pathetic and contrived pack of nonsense. The public was ready to let him back in but I think he's just put himself back 9 months. Idiot.

Haven't seen it but is it as bad the Steven Smith/Vodafone attempted redemption ad?

i would say a definite yes. They need to move on, and let their faultlessly fair play do the talking from now on .

Ponting and other luminaries are right, this is ill conceived and terrible timing.

Just do your time, get your head down and do your jobs.

Maybe you’ll be accepted back, maybe not.

yep, and that Steve Smith thing was just embarrassing. The spin doctors have been working overtime here, and the equally embarrassing thing is that the Aussie fans will buy into it. Pathetic.
