Sad that we lost the #SydneyTest.
#India vs #Australia

Also sad that the great #SunilGavaskar (after whom the trophy is named) was not invited on stage to present the #BorderGavaskarTrophy #BGT2025 to the winning team.

Usman Khawaja rocking up to the BGT presentation in crocs and socks is a vibe I can get behind.

This build-up, pause, sledge and wicket off the last ball on Day 1 was exciting.

Rain, turning pitch and Shubman Gill’s return dominate talks ahead of New Year’s Test in Sydney

Australia win by 184 runs, Siraj last out, LBW to Lyon, given out and confirmed as out on review. Australia now lead the series 2-1, which means that India need to win in Sydney to retain the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

Australia closing in on victory. Rishabh Pant threw his wicket away just as it was beginning to look like India were seeing things through, and Jaiswal was controversially given out on review when the third umpire thought he saw a deflection from the glove but NOTHING came up on snickometer.

A look back at day four at the #MCG, including how Jasprit Bumrah joined a club of one - bowlers with 200+ test wickets at less than 20 a piece. Also a large photo gallery.

Aussies not backing themselves even though they need a win - no declaration today. They may declare overnight, still giving themselves a full day to bowl India out - IMO batting on tomorrow would be the height of cowardice.

India have a tough but not insurmountable chase - the ground record chase is 332 by England in the 1928-9 Ashes, and Australia are 309 ahead with one wicket standing.
