Australia win the Border-Gavaskar in Sydney thanks to a man named Barrel and a thing called Slug. It’s the perfect end to a summer of chaos, calmness, controversy, Konstas and karma. The numbers falling in front of our eyes are as mysterious and wonderful as figuring out what day it might be. We discuss India’s behaviour on and off the field, the lack of repercussions or leadership shown by anyone and what the future might look like for an Indian generation that failed to deliver as much as what it once promised.

There’s also a complete sweep of the BBL, the Bancroft/Sams head clash, Dan Christian going from assistant coach to into the playing squad, the Test players returning (haha.. ok), the Stars winning 2 gams in a row and Hilton Cartwright hitting a 121m six.

The women’s Ashes starts on Sunday, so Higgos ponders if it is indeed the most fulfilling dessert to a summer that has given us a main course to die for.

When is cricket good? None of that was enjoyable and it’s time to get off-line. Smudge misses out on a home 10k.

Maybe we would rather the SCG deck be dead. Will Bumrah return to put the nail in the coffin? Slug gets his debut half ton. Konstas

Australia wins a classic amid record crowds, final hours, lengthened shadows, herculean bowlers, gus truck opposition, cry more merchants, and Joel Wilson. We dissect, bisect, genuflect to all of it. Cummins, Konstas, Marnus, Bumrah, Rohit, Jaiswal, Kohli. The Blobby League continues in earnest, some catches right out of the “top drawer”. Pakistan and South Africa try to out-gas truck each other, and AskTGC deals with SCG fashion choices and urgent medical emergencies.

How could you not love test cricket? Australia win an all-time test classic test match whilst Joel Wilson puts in an incredible performance. India fall in a post team demolition. A technology named "snicko" is surprisingly not 100% reliable. Cry more India.

Bumrah the greatest to ever grace Australia's shores. Boland and Lyon make it through to stumps. Jaiswal makes drops some costly catches. Marnus' piece is constantly in danger as he plays and misses his way to 70.

NKR's maiden ton leaves father in tears. Another Indian number 8 ruins Australia's year. Five out, all out no longer exists in Australia? Mitch Marsh's spot in jeopardy? Australia missing Cam Green today more than ever.
