Ponting is so blunt I love it. Plus you can't really question his credentials, he's one of the 4 or 5 best to ever do it.

It was fantastic. Cummins' innings is one of the greats. Usman being hard as nails. JOE ROOT.... utterly fantastic.

Ponting is a rare genius. Successful batsmen, captain and now such a joy to listen to his commentary.

[Alpha-oo]

Oooof, that was a stressful game to watch. If the rest of the series is like this, I’ll need some blood pressure medication

First ball: 4 off Cummins
Last ball: 4 from Cummins

The commentary from Nassar and Ricky was amazing, because they are experienced captains who had excellent insight into what should be happening. I agree with Ricky to hand the new ball to Anderson in that critical moment. What an excellent coverage from Sky and 9 Now.

From the very first ball to the last ball of this Test match, it was enthralling cricket. Up their with 2005 👏🏻

Ponting and Nass are magnificent pundits. So many good points

[zhanruide]

Hard to believe this match was played between pretty much the same sides that contested the last Ashes series down under.

Michel Starc was cleaning his teams place. Kudos!!!

Big Merv Hughes hanging out with the Aussie fans, glorious :)

This test was made all the more stressful by having to listen to Pietersens commentary for 5 days

[Shikheralgorythmic]

Paying scoop shots is not the only way to make Test cricket more entertaining. In fact I dont think you can make anyone who does not like Test cricket, like it by playing more shots. People who love Test cricket love it because of the patience, the grit and the hard work needed to build an innings, or to take a wicket. You cannot shortcut your way out of that.

[jackrony]

This is the beauty of test cricket, you cannot get this feeling in other format

[petermalins]

My respect for Hussain just went up big time after watching this...

[rishabhpant]

Ice in his 🔥
What a finish 🔥 from captain Cummins ❤🙏

The reality is that man for man this Australian team is far superior. Bazball and the chaos it creates is the great equaliser. It's not a choice for England, it's a necessity if they want to be competitive.

[michaelhogan]

If anything Bazball hurt the English bowlers…. So Broad 44 overs, Ollie 40 overs, Anderson 38 overs…. Total 🟰 122 Pat 32 overs, Josh 25 overs, Scott 26 overs … 🟰 83 overs just pace bowlers England bowled 39 more …. Over 5 tests that’s 195 more overs Broad and Anderson can’t do it it’s too many

Thanks to England's fast scoring rate Australia's bowlers are well rested and ready to go for the 2nd test .
England bowled 70 overs more in this test
