From a fan perspective though.

Still the best team!

Day/Night Test matches still a thing?

Agreed with you there. In NZ case all they need is a killer captain like Waugh or Ponting or Lloyd and that urge for wins transcends.

@WutUpMahGlipGlops the thing with Afghanistan is they lack infrastructure for test matches. Should not have been given test status, that decision was a much more political one than anything, in my humble opinion. I’m surprised youre completely writing off the West Indies, they dominated the...

If you ask some of the Indian posters here which they rather and I’m sure they’ll go with IPL over a Test match. Test cricket in Pakistan is a difficult one to predict, primarily due to the fact the last 20 years or so little no home series have been played there. I could be in the wrong here...

Thanks for the replies guys, honestly was not my intention at all to throw shade at the Asians. I’ll scale back my posting on the subject, however I do think test cricket has been affected by T20 cricket’s popularity, @Aislabie to say otherwise I think is a bit far fetched! Yes I agree its a bit...

Some traditionalist still left on this board that love test cricket. What are your thoughts? Where do you see Test matches figuring in the future? Lets say within 50 yrs from now or a couple decades! Quick comparison on each Test playing nation indicates the present teams are way weaker...

and the biased pitch and pain ointment

Probably their scared of Starc, got wind of his recovery. Only VIRAT can take him on a pitch offering some bounce. This is what theyre afraid of:

I take it the IPL games gonna be a financial windfall for them too. Can totally understand your sentiments. I like test cricket but cant deny the fast food IPL mentality of the Indians.

Still gutted after no Season 3 of Dr Foster! Kept hoping for a couple years they would write a new season but guess thats it. Such a good show! You S4 was pretty awesome! Cant wait for part 2. Assuming finale?

Rahul you turn back the clock almost a decade with a post like this. Honestly miss the passionate posts like this. Yes, in all fairness India are well within their rights to manipulate the pitch to their liking. People just rather a fair contest between two of the better teams in the world...

Really hoping for an award, would be a crowning achievement for perhaps the most storied member of this great forum. Think I’m deserving, leaning on the support from the haters though.

Bro this had me turning as well. Border is correct’

From the clip it clearly shows he applies on his finger first, then directly on the ball. Perhaps not altering the condition, but for better grip? Is this legal though? Had it been an Aussie bowler the Indian media would be asking these questions as well, lets turn the clock back a bit to the...

Just a reminder that Nohit is RHB.

Thanks for restating what was written in the article that I kindly quoted. No the issue is far from resolved. What proof is there that it was indeed pain ointment/cream? Any experts investigated whether or not this substance may have affected the ball? I If you can show this then I’ll say the...
