The greatest Test series Australia has played in since the 2005 Ashes provided several moments that will take pride of place in the annals of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. ROBERT CRADDOCK reveals his series awards.
After spending a decade being lambasted for purring like a tabby cat, the SCG deck is now under fire for roaring like a Bengal tiger, writes ROBERT CRADDOCK.
Australia’s selectors are perpetually under fire but they made two crucial calls which turned the series. But, ROBERT CRADDOCK writes, Australia’s drought-breaking win over India may yet claim some casualties.
His name is on the trophy, but Sunil Gavaskar was still left off the presentation dais after a thrilling Australia-India series. The Indian great was less than happy.
Not everything went Australia’s way on a landmark day in Sydney, with Steve Smith suffering heartbreak only one other man can truly relate to.
For the fifth time this tour, Scott Boland got his bunny. Virat Kohli’s final Test innings in Australia will be remembered as much for his emotional reaction as the standing ovation from the SCG crowd.
There’s a fine line between cockiness and confidence – and Sam Konstas’ SCG theatrics have split some of Australia’s greatest cricketers.
Captain Rohit Sharma was mysteriously demoted from the Indian team, with the official line being that he had “opted out”. He reveals what really happened ahead of the SCG clash.
Circuit breaker and pot-stirrer extraordinaire, Sam Konstas is unlike anything Australian cricket has seen before. All eyes are on the teen tyro after his heated clash with Jasprit Bumrah.
Before things got truly ugly at the SCG, Sam Konstas threw down the gauntlet to Jasprit Bumrah. The Indian great took up the challenge and then some to ignite an already tense series decider.
