Pretty amazing win by India last night

Of the countries who take this kind of thing seriously, Australia and India are right at the top of that list.  Test match cricket is a bit of an acquired taste (not much acquired over here) but it is still big time sports and India pulled off a true win for the agers yesterday down in Australia, 1.3 Billion Indians probably went crazy as their team locked up the series in the final game.

With injuries everywhere and the Australian fast bowlers head hunting most of the day, India managed to overcome a final day run chase of 328 which is a pretty massive total as these things go.  Well done India.

I don’t follow it but my dad and extended family went absolutely nuts.

I do follow the cricket world cups - they can be absolutely fascinating if you’ve got a rooting interest. Being of Indian heritage, it’s essentially in my blood to have a rooting interest. I can still recall all the feelz of the 2014 World Cup when they finally won one for Sachin. Goosebumps.

And winning it at the Gabba, no less.
