Toffee in Jandals
Player Valuation: £35m
Amazing effort by Neil Wagner to help win the test for New Zealand. 28-9-55-2 bowling on two broken toes, including one spell of eleven overs straight. The man is a machine.

Kane Williamson's scores in his last three tests; 251, 129, 21, 238. 639 runs at an average of 159.75. Had the privilege of watching him bring up his century at Hagley Oval yesterday, masterful innings.
And he scored his runs against decent bowling attacks (v West Indies and Pakistan) on green, seaming wickets in New Zealand.
Head and shoulders the best batsman in the world on current form.

Stating the blindingly obvious, these two are key to putting it out of India's reach - any lead over 250 is likely to be too many imo which means 8 wickets to get 100, but after these two they could be skittled.
The extent of the lead and possibly the series is all on the shoulders of Smith and Labuschagne (as usual) before the bowlers supply the finish.
With the fourth test in some doubt due to a Covid outbreak in Queensland, Brisbane the proposed venue, this could decide it.

Still a chance of an unlikely Indian win, needing 407. Lunch, India 206-3, Pujara 41, Pant 73.
Meanwhile more racism from Australian spectators.

Wimpy footballers. If it’s available google Labuschagne being hit by Vihara off Lyon. Smacked at mph into the side of his knee. Bit of a squeal and he looked like he wanted to vomit but is in position 10 seconds later.
God, I hate these Aussies
Tim Paine is sh1te and that is just embarrassing.
I HATE him
Sure there's better players in grade cricket, he's like Tom Davies just offers nothing.

When he had to take over at short notice after sandpapergate, I thought he was one of the good guys (for an Aussie), but it turns out he’s an absolute scumbag
