    @Donsteppa TBF the Indian team have to go home to their houses getting burned down...

    “A three-match series would be nice ... you work hard for two years and then you have only one shot at it. You cannot get into that momentum that you need for Test cricket. In the next cycle ... a three-match series would be ideal,” Rohit said.
    “June is not the only month we should play the final. It can be played any time of the year and anywhere in the world. Not just in England.”

    lol

    Rohit’s comments were relayed to victorious Aussie skipper Pat Cummins and he quickly shut down his counterpart.

    “It’s fine. No qualms,” Cummins said, to laughter from the press gallery.

    “Ideally you’d have a 50-match series but the Olympics have come down to one race to win a gold medal. AFL, NRL seasons have finals. That’s sport,” Cummins said.

    “To make it to the final you’ve got to win everywhere in the world. I think this cycle was 20 Test matches. I think we might have only lost three or four out of the 20. The boys were fantastic the whole way through. We adapted well and that’s what makes it so satisfying.”

    It continues:

    Rohit also doubled down on his criticism of the most controversial moment of the match – Shubman Gill’s dismissal in the second innings when he was caught by Cameron Green.

    “The decision was made quite quickly,” said Rohit, who also objected to third umpire Richard Kettleborough’s call from the middle of The Oval.

    “You need to be 100 per cent sure because it’s a final and we were at an important stage of the game. There was only one or two camera angles, more should have been shown.”

    Again, Cummins offered a contrasting view.

    “He’s probably the best umpire in the world, he knows the rule book, he’s seen every angle,” Cummins said. “I’d back his decision more so than emotional, passionate fans that are looking on a big screen from 100m away.”

    Dravid was a bit more measured, but spoke to the cramped schedule.

    I'd counter that the cramped schedule is due to things like the IPL. So take the money or win a trophy. Up to you.

    India’s torrid ICC trophy drought reaches ugly decade mark after WTC loss
    India are cricket’s biggest powerhouse off the pitch, on it they’ve been exposed as serial chokers who can’t capitalise when it matters.

    Yikes.

    That quote above about them being South Africa rings pretty true tho.

    I’m fine with that as long as you boot Warner ( who is retiring anyway ), Head and Carey for Conway, Williamson and Blundell respectively for a combined team.

    I’d also want Jamieson in there somewhere, maybe Wags and Mitchell is worth a shout too.

    Immediately RA tweets about never having lost the Bledisloe and winning five RWCs...
