'Know Your History' - Australia in Sri Lanka with Shannon Gill. Gerard and Shannon take a look at the history of Australian cricket touring in Sri Lanka.
History's page will say 3-1, and I know a lot of people I've spoken to in the last few weeks have said, no, Australia absolutely dominated India.
And I think they did to a degree, but it is a testament, well, it's a testament to Jasprit Bumrah that so many of these test matches went into the last day with the results still up for grabs.
And there's always going to be the question, as we've been saying over the last few weeks, what if Boomer was fit on the last day in
And you sort of forget, even though Australia got there in Sydney quite comfortably in the finish...
I think there's one of those ones where we look back and go, what does 3-1 mean? I think 3-1 means something a bit different today than it might have meant in the past because the way the game is played is so quick and results are so much more regularly achieved.
The way that this test series was a survival of the fittest and Boomer eventually wears out on the last day, which is part of it across five tests is the last five test series that India played in Australia, which was in 91, 92.
Now obviously it's a very different where there was one day games in the world series cup interspersed.
