Omg I am SPENT. Just woke up, had to watch as much as I could until 6am hoping A) WI pull off a miracle, & B) but also firstly watching Pope & Co to see if they could post a total. Just, I thought.
But WHAT a Fantastic win for WI !! Absolutely stunning, a series draw & first test win against Australia down under since fkn knows. A huge injection of interest to the Island's youngsters, even if this great team aren't young 'uns themselves.
And for us, almost as good. Pope & the Hartley turnaround too. What a day of Test cricket !!!

I'd given this one up for another crushing defeat! What a performance from Ollie and Tom.
West Indies beat Australia in another thriller, that's a turn up but at least the Aussies can claim the moral victory eh .

Magnificent. Up there with one of the 2005 Ashes matches, & last summer's too.

**** me. Just caught up with days 3 & 4. What does Mcullum say to them to bring on performances like this.
"You can do, or feel, anything you like except fear."
"If we lose you will not be dropped provided you do your best and go for a win."

Spinner Shoaib Bashir will make his senior England debut in the second Test [Friday] against India in Visakhapatnam.
The 20-year-old replaces the injured Jack Leach in the squad, while James Anderson comes in for Mark Wood.

Somewhat surprised to hear Ali McCoist enthusiastically looking forward to the second test during his commentary on the Liverpool game last night. He said he didn't leave the couch during day 4 of the last test.

Stokes photo is hilarious- he looks like a monk from a Breugel painting.
