    @dogmeat if you're being serious, then in my eyes, they'd both be losers - so we remain the sole WTC winners.

    Shared trophies don't count (IMO!)

      India fell into the hole of picking their team based on winning the first hour, not for a potentially five day game.

      A lot of the social media chatter about the pitch looking almost as green as the outfield earlier this week reminded me of the mistaken hype around Basin Reserve greenness on Day -2.

        @MN5 welcome on board.

        I think rain is unlikely from what I read, so let's hope India go massive in their first dig at bat.

            Look, hassle us all you want, we’re still the first ever winners and will remain so.

            You could win it 20 times in a row and not take that away from us.

            Actually, is it too Iate to change my support ? Go India.

              @NTA meh. I'd feel the same way if we were the ones in the final. A draw/tie ain't a win.

                @foobaNZ I was being honest.

                Problem with your view is it wouldn't be shared (boom tish) by 90% of cricket followers. they and the record would say that there had been 3 winners of TC.

                I agree shared titles suck, so lets have a winner. Marginally prefer Oz simply as the reaction to another Indian loss would be entertaining and it'd be good to see a monkey clambering onto their shoulders.

                OZ definitely well ahead after Day 1

                  @dogmeat I'm gonna have to disagree there, you really think 90% of cricket followers would view them as joint winners? I wouldn't think it's anywhere near that high. Every comment section for eternity would question it.

                        @MN5 Have we ever one the Ashes?

                        I can't remember the last time we even challenged.

                        You're right. It's a CONSPIRACY

                          That guy Don Bradman is made up too. I never saw him play.

                          As if anyone would average that much.

                              Travis Head scoring 163 in an innings at ~94 against the second best Test team this year is something special.

                                  Aus 469
                                  India 151/5

                                  Aussies would've expected a bigger score than that considering where they were on at the end of day 1.

                                  Game moving along relatively quickly and the weather forecast looks good

                                    Some very shit decisions by the middle order even if India were bowling a bit tighter.

                                    On offer was a total near 600 if Head stopped chasing the short ball, Smith didn't hang his bat to an average delivery, and Green used his feet.

                                      The wickets of Pujara and Gill made me laugh - leaving balls in that channel against the bowler's angle was fraught with peril.

                                          India might have valued Ashwin with the bat in their lower order too...
