[@rorygibbs7518]

I remember watching this test match during u16 state championships in Brisbane, apart from warners brilliance in his 09 debut against SA he was unproven in the red ball game. It was so incredible watching him carry his bat in just his second test - we all felt as a group of 16 year olds that Australian cricket was safe for a few years. Great times

[@Terrilliser2024OZ]

My mate and I recognised Hughes's talent when he first burst onto the Sheffield Shield stage. This was in the 2007/08 season.

[@louquay]

Thanks for this man. We really need some good feelings right now

[@samueldhallcreative917]

Incredible video mate. Whatever people think of Pup off the field, his aggressive captaincy and tactical nous really got us over the line in some of those series.

[@dimitrivasilaras6976]

It's a shame he held grudges with guys like Simon Katich and refused to pick them even though they deserved it. We could've been much better if it wasn't for that egotistical prick. For that reason alone, he'll always be a shit captain.

[@mobe7]

Great vid mate. You have a real knack for story telling

[@vasanthnarain5639]

it means a lot to indian fans who are able to win two series in australia. I remember watching that series and gobsmacked by how shit we were when we travelled overseas. I think this bowling lineup could have given tough battle to then aus batting lineup.

[@Sadabahar62]

Great video ! As an Indian team fan I got a lot of respect for the Aussie team , their grit and professionalism . I also think their fans are being harsh after one test loss in BGT . This is the team that won em WTC final and ODI WC . India just played better in first test but that doesn’t mean it is end of the road for team Australia . We have a fascinating series on our hands !

I remember watching Michael Clarke decimating our chances to win, The series is telecast early in the morning, My dad you used to get up at 5 in the morning to watch the tests, I was leaving for school while looking at the TV sadly of clarke not getting out and getting past 300😔, I felt the might of the Aussies then but in 18-19 Virat and his men, changed everything truly🤩🔥BGT has a history of cementing the legacy of test captains like clarke and virat and we'll continue our dominance this year too💪

[@ericcartmansh]

Wow, what a beautiful video. You can truly only connect the dots and draw the lines looking backwards. The narrative you constructed of the rise and fall of Aussie cricket here was amazing. You could draw a similar narrative of the fall of the great Indian batting line up and the rise of the next giant. In the series you covered which ended up being the last one for Dravid Laxman had a few other narratives from the Indian side too. This team hadn't managed to make 400 in any test inning for 10+ matches. That 400 in the 2nd inning at Sydney was the first time they had done so, and also the last time the combination of Dravid Laxman Tendulkar and Sehwag made 400 in an inning together. The Adelaide test with the Kohli 100 was the first in a line of 10 test centuries (as of 2024) for Virat and a sign of the next giant to come. This 4-0 loss for India was the last of the really big test losses of this decade. The next tour they lost all matches but they could have won each of the games. Post that tour they haven't lost a single series to Australia. Keep up the amazing work!

M Clarke. One of the underrated modern-day great imo. Probably not a likeable bloke but man he was talented.

Hughes passing is sad as person but as a player we could or really used him over the last 10 years at certain points

[@mondotv4216]

The parallels between then and now are eerie. We have two superstars in Smith and Labuschagne who appear to be aging and losing their edge. We have an aging seam attack and a spinner who's now into his late 30's. Khawaja is also old for a test batter (he'll be 38 by the MCG test) and it's a bit early to say but he may be losing his edge as well. And we have a selection panel that seems unwilling to weild the axe. I thought before this series started Marnus should have been dropped and Marsh if he can't bowl is just not fulfilling the role that Australia need. Cameron Green was covering some glaring holes (he pretty much stole a test match for Australia in NZ this year) and with him out the team looks tired and unbalanced. My first test team would have been Khawaja, Bancroft, McSweeney, Smith, Head, Webster, Carey, Cummins, Starc, Lyon, Hazelwood. I know Bancroft had a horror start to the year but Perth is his home deck and instead we threw McSweeney in against Bumrah. Crazy selection.

[@hmmm.......f8828]

Hey man it would be a good idea to make a video about the current state of australian cricket. It seems to be in a decline with some of the senior players retiring soon or being out of form.

Yeah he used to get a lot of criticism from all sides but he was such a solid opener

[@Aussie_Investor]

I played against Michael Clarke on many occasions in grade cricket in Sydney and even clean bowled him in a one-day game. I'm a complete nobody when it comes to cricket but one night several years later, Clarke comes up to me in a nightclub the calls me by my name and I was a iittle surprised. Even though he was a complete tosser on the field, off field he was came across like a reasonable guy and I would have to give him credit for that.

[@pieterpieter4837]

Can you make a video on how Tim Paine was a disaster for our team and his sext scandal was the best thing to happen in my lifetime? He was a below average keeper, a worse batsman than our strike bowlers, yet couldn't be dropped from the team because he was a the damn captain who also made terrible on field calls. The Tim Paine years felt truly dark.

Unfortunately they couldn't keep this form and were in turned whitewashed in the next BGT, Remember Michael Clarke stating about Dhoni's seriousness in that BGT, In 2012/13 India would get back at Aus at home whitewashing the visitors eventually, Aus would get back their momentum after 2013/14 Ashes but lose it after Clarke's and Mitchell Johnson's retirement.

I really couldnt care less what the numbers may say. The fact is he was an egotistical, selfish prima donna and he still is to this day. The worst thing they could've done was give him official power to select the side. Guys like Simon Katich missed out simply because Pup refused to put the team first even though that guy was the best option at the time to open alongside Warner.

Let's not panic over a couple of test losses, the Aussies to bounce back in Adelaide, and yes I would give the opening partnership another chance. Problem is a few players are being selected for reputation rather than results on the pitch, have the selectors forgotten there's a huge amount of talent floating around at the State level? I remember the Border years, all doom and gloom, then the Aussie team started grinding out great wins. Never discount an Aussie team, in any sport!

Indian players faced lot of Ethnocentrism at that time I heard in early all players chosen from tamilnadu for indian team are of higher caste instead of talent There was a lot of bias and politics in player selection. After IPL and current selectors great players started emerging. Even today south indian players struggle to accomodate in indian team
