Tight win over Pakistan at Centurion. My nerves! I thought watching us play rugby was stressful!

Does anyone really care about the world test championship?

I must say I like a test match which goes into day 5 with all results still possible..

Not when teams don’t play everyone and don’t play the same amount of games. Stupid competition.

Test cricket is the only format I respect. This is currently the only way the ICC make a competition out of it

Nope. I know it's the fashion to be able to say team A or team B are the World Champions but rest cricket really doesn't need this gimmick. Leave it to the hit and giggle formats.

Good win for Australia against India. Hope they can win in Sydney too. Means tickets to Lords next June should be obtainable (unlike if India were playing)

Some proper niggle in the 5th test down in Sydney. Two teams who really don’t like each other. Bumrah got the last laugh there today. Set up nicely.

Now for the SA v Pakistan second test. Newlands is such a beautiful ground and the weather looks lush.

Sam Konstas is quickly becoming a villain - maybe for both sides. This kind of behaviour by non-striker is ok at village cricket, but uncalled for.

Both the Aussies and Indian teams are full of really obnoxious unlikable people.
