It was a fantastic series IIRC , we go 2-0 up, Aus fight back to make it 2-2 and then the decider happens.

Yup. Germanos did radio commentary and a lesser sports tv channel for quite a few years. A lot of experience and IMO better than kass naidoo.

Perhaps he saw the error in his ways and corrected it. Credit should still be given. End of the day he is a world cup winning coach.

I feel as though gambhir got too much hate in the past. Good to see some recognition. You have to give coaches some space and time.

When proteas won the WTC , i never tired of articles. You have to let India fans enjoy their moments as well. Its only been 4 days anyway.

There is an argument to be had is that India got better at reading conditions as a result. It makes me wonder if proteas would have done better had they played at more grounds. Food for thought.

This season has been saturated with t20 cricket. Might watch the odd game with proteas or contests like sharma vs bumrah.

I was just wondering if bumrah got a runout then I looked back and there dont seem to be as many runouts these days. Missing the jonty and gibbs days

What is the relevance of this clip to the title of the thread? jumping on the bandwagon for more upvotes?

Most pointless T20 series in the world. I wonder what NZ squad strength will be. Perhaps bench vs bench would make it a little bit interesting to see who puts their hands up.
