Tbf, if Cummins had been given out the decision would have been upheld. Gamble almost paid off.

Harris bats better, fields better and bowls more economically. I don't think it's such an obvious choice really.

Such an amazing mini series, probably the best ever 2 match series of all time.

Loved AB's comments there just as the match finished

"Well I think Pat Cummins should retire really..."

Pretty sure I implied Johnson was the best guy in the world for this type of scenario the other day. Stoked.

Nothing in their batting. If anything Tahir is a fraction better there.

If they really want to go for the 'package' they should pick Botha, but Tahir fits the side a lot better IMO especially now that Philander is in there.

Johnson's two knocks have actually been ****ing amazing in this Test. Got us the 30 run buffer first dig then saw us home in the second.

Not a bad way to end a test career.
