Sensational catch Carey!

Is now a top shelf keeper while his best batting is always when we need it.

Is just me or does Travis Head looks like a skinny David Boon with that mo?

Cricket is a religion over there and the players are godlike. But booing is not a good look guys.

Head pips Smithy for MOM. My vote was the master batsman as had he not anchored the innings Head would not have been given the freedom to play as he did. Just my opinion. Smithy also pulled off a couple of incredible and vital slip catches.

I suppose the Indians called it an arrogant act. They can be rather over sensitive the boys from the sub continent. They also kicked up a stink over the low catch by Green with a freeze frame showing clearly his fingers under the ball. A bit petulant and immature by Gill who was the instigator.

True but I didn't really like it tbh.

Didn't see the Green catch.

The Green catch was one of those reviews that will upset either side regardless of which way the decision goes. Honestly I would’ve been fine with it regardless because it was so marginal.

The umpire thought he had it under control before it touched the ground. It looks under control here because he has all his fingers wrapped around it, but the ball is probably touching the floor.

(Forgive the red ring it’s the first image I found)

This looks like he’s completely spilled it. However you can’t see the middle finger that’s under the ball.

And then you’ve got Indian fans abusing Green, calling him a cheater and telling him to go to hell for not admitting he didn’t catch it.

But he technically did catch it, the problem is whether it’s legal or not. And anyone that caught a ball like that would feel like they’ve actually caught it.

Oh my the salty Indians are still pissing and moaning.

I dont think it is sour grapes by Rohit. I reckon he has a point. Why does it have to be played in England when there are 12 Test playing nations. If possible to fit it in, yes play a three match final.
