Ash retires as one of the best spinners in history of the game with an enviable test match record - 537 test wicket at an average of 24. Happy Retirement, Ash!!! Heartiest congratulations on a stellar cricket career for Team India. A great competitor on the field. A gentleman off the field. Thank you, Ash!!! ❤❤❤
That's just Ashwin being Ashwin. No Loud Attention Grabbing antics, no fuss, no drama, just gracefully announced his retirement in the most low-key fashion, so casually on a Wednesday morning. That's why we all love & respect him so much. Happy Retirement Ashwin Sir. Thank you for all the memories.🙏🏻❤
I repeat my comment I wrote elsewhere. Being a guy from old generation who grew up seeing Prasanna and Venkat I poo pooed Ash as an imposter who could not pitch 6 balls in the same place. But ash threw everything out of window by taking buckets of wkts which is all that matters. Ash is a legend and the best of luck to him for a great future ahead!
we all were busy for the last few days just got free yesterday evening,might(hopefully) be free for boxing day test as well or else we could remain beezy for the whole of boxing day test( 5 day shift)😂😂it all depends on my 11 bosses out there at MCG in a few days time😂😂
Good man Ashwin. In the shadows of giants you radiated your own brightness. A scholar cricketer, a gentleman and man with a sense of humor. 500+ wickets and a few thousand runs later, I, like many others, salute a great son of India. Ravi, you are a giant yourself and a half of famer. Best wishes for the future 🙏 P.s. In a perfect world it should've been Rohit instead of Ashwin. But it what it is.
@@CatastrophicDiseaseHow does caring for a game automatically translate into trophies you muppet? Brazil is crazy for football, so does it mean they should win every wc? 😂
Was so good to see India's tail wag, avoid the follow-on, and spare me from some serious Aussie banter at work! But let’s be real-man of the match has to go to the rain for pulling off that epic save.
succession planning has been poor for Australia.... India get to try out players by regularly minnow bashing Bangladesh while Australia avoids these series because of commercial reasons
@@ce11amitkumaryadav83I don't know but I find this obsession with stadiums stupid. For me it doesn't mean shit what team has been unbeaten at what stadium in the past, every game is a new game and they have to put up a good game to win.
I was desperately waiting for the retirement of the Hitman... It was an emotional moment for all of us hearing the retirement of a true legend Ashwin who well deserved to be in team for 1-2 yrs ... Unfortunately, this retirement should be of the tired so-called Hitman not of Ashwin
There’s gotta be something in Cumdog get square alpha slogging Akash Deep for six heavy ones… Also Webster for Marsh, Carey to 6. Boland on his home deck. Heady doesn’t even need groins.
You guys fucking rule. Im late to the bandwagon but fuck it better late than never. The banter is 5 star. What a test, what a series. Bring on boxing day.
@@HairTiesForGlorfindel People will realise his and Jadeja's value when Ind starts losing/ drawing games and series in Ind like we used to. A lot of them have taken their contributions for granted.
Aus believe.. Ind believe.. this is the clash of the titans & the stage whr champions show what they are made of.. you better believe! You couldn’t blame anyone for wanting to fast forward to 26th, even if it means skipping Christmas.. this is epic!
Fair analysis , Fox commentators were so biased , they make it sound like it was Aussies who threw their wickets to accelarate tye scoring , fact is once again Bumrah and co found them wanting
Ashwin has maximum man of the series award in test cricket - 11 Only person equal to that was Muralidharan That speaks volumes of his achievement but less acknowledged my most in India
Stop smoking weed ! India deserved to lose this match the way they batted and they couldn't have chased it down ! Stop glorifying this shitty Indian team
Trust me , We (India) are going to run through the next tests to victory and you both will be stalling and crying on Aussie players performance just like post first test 😂
I don't see India winning at Melbourne. The worst thing that happened in this game was Jadeja scoring runs as this confirms his inclusion for the Boxing Day test. Ashwin is the better bowler for the remaining two tests but he's retired. Simply put, I don't see India having the bowling attack to take 20 aussie wickets. The main difference between the sides during the series is the fact that Australia's top 3 have the ability to take the shine off the new ball by playing the waiting game early on unlike their Indian counterparts. An appearance in the WTC final awaits the defending champs.
its a bit weird to say "they prepared those decks for Ashwin and Jadeja" and then say "Thank God Its over!" ... so it isnt about the decks right?.. those decks will still get prepared for whoever comes next... maybe spinners like Ash are actually good.. no?
India just need to win 1 test in remaining 2 matches and india is safe and through to wtc final also i think its good that india did not win this one because i think india is due to win 1 test and if india would have won this then remaining 2 test australia would have won as there are no chances of draw so its better for india is that this ended in a draw and india still is due to win 1 and if so then series will end in 2-2
I know Aussies talk in a lot of colloquialisms, but what was the reference in "Fingers in the Virgil Van Dijk" by Higgos, after saying it before "Fingers in the head" stuff. Is he referring to Van Dijk's Chin Wave celebration? Or something else.
Yeah that thing about soaking up balls, putting overs into the bowlers, letting the middle order cash in. Basically the absence of what will be the downfall of Crawley in Bazball. Those stats on balls faced - AFP territory aside - are real interesting. Does whoever faces the most balls win?
Here in celebration of TGC getting their view count back. Congrats boys
😁😁
😭😂
Time to get Ashwin on the show now bois !!!!!!
Tuning in once again because I am happy with the series still being at 1 all.
Bit sad celebrating a draw you didn't deserve
@@penguinguy50 welcome to cricket
@@penguinguy50It's more enjoyable and a different kind of fun. 😂
Seeing that last pair add 40 odd runs and save the game. Must be frustrating.
@@penguinguy50yes if rain wasn't there today we could have won as well this is also a possibility

The carry on around Ashwin adds to his magic, coming from an England fan
Jeez the intro pumped me up,I thought boxing day was Tommorow and Heady won't be there because he has become aware of his groin.
Ash the legend Couldn't have timed it better and Lyon gifting him a signed jersey was nice.
Higgos the rig is unreal
Higgos is in fcuking good shape.
Riggos
Aussie blokes set up the lineup for Perth-Adelaide-Gabba to be 3-0 and it is 1-1? Asian century is back boys, momentarily.
#Kudrat ka nizaam
I also read Travis head retirement 😂, internet is a weird place
Oh hey TGC. Good to be back. Very convenient on the day when we are back in the series😅
Im convinced after hanging on by the skin of our teeth all match if it hadn’t rained Rishab Pant would have pulled a win out the ass
They would've gone for it, lost wickets whilst getting close and then played for the draw.
Will miss you Ash!

Ash is such a mastermind. He is absolutely hinting other OGs in the team to be selfless.
The pump on that left bicep! Yeah boy!!💪 😂

Gabba: "we were on a break"
IDC HOW BUT YOU NEED TO GET HIM ON THE SHOW
when are you guys retiring head? we do one(ashwin) you guys do one, thats the deal.
lol thats the only way we can feel relieved
Get him on the show lads.
Also this series is shaping up nicely.
India's most successful TH-camr to have played cricket calls it a day.

There are genuinely tears in my eyes
there'll be 85000 Indian fans and about 5000 Australian fans at Boxing Day
Well yeah no other country cares about cricket than us. And we still somehow manage to lose ICC tournaments.
@@CatastrophicDisease All of our neighbors do care though.
@@CatastrophicDiseaseHow does caring for a game automatically translate into trophies you muppet? Brazil is crazy for football, so does it mean they should win every wc? 😂
Aussies are crazy about boxing day so there would be more Australian fans compared to india.
Have you ever seen a boxing day match in melbourne?? This ain't Ahemdabad
Was so good to see India's tail wag, avoid the follow-on, and spare me from some serious Aussie banter at work! But let’s be real-man of the match has to go to the rain for pulling off that epic save.
Long time, no tune!
The Indians are here. 🎉🥰
succession planning has been poor for Australia.... India get to try out players by regularly minnow bashing Bangladesh while Australia avoids these series because of commercial reasons
The Aussies tried to frontload this series with their 3 best venues, and have left 1-1.
India can thank the rain for that
India can thank the rain for that
And India didn't lost at MCG and SCG since 2011 🥶🥶🥶🥶
India ain't loosing both test that's for sure

Need Ash x TGC, make it happen y'all
I was desperately waiting for the retirement of the Hitman... It was an emotional moment for all of us hearing the retirement of a true legend Ashwin who well deserved to be in team for 1-2 yrs ... Unfortunately, this retirement should be of the tired so-called Hitman not of Ashwin
They're all going to retire after this series or after the England series.
Summed up my emotions watching today perfectly! Definitely meant it all along.
It’s sad Indian media doesn’t show him the respect he deserves. He’s in same league as Kumble / Warne
There’s gotta be something in Cumdog get square alpha slogging Akash Deep for six heavy ones…
Also Webster for Marsh, Carey to 6.
Boland on his home deck.
Heady doesn’t even need groins.
He is the only one who can make the non striker nervous as well.
Higgos: "TH gonna be alright, I definitely believe that.."
🤣🤣🤣 I smell some fear BOIYZZZZZZZ
Gambhir would go down as the worst coach only after Greg chapell. He is breaking the team as we know it
it will still take Lyon Ashes next year to go past Ashwin in test wickets the way he is bowling
He is just 4 wkt behind and 2 test left in this series , he will go past this series . U don't need to wait that long for that
I think the only true Australians in this team are Head, Cummins, and the grass. Nobody else is playing with the spirit of an Australian cricketer!
17:04 Ashwin didn’t play the gabba test in 2021 pls don’t call the afp on me
Romantic Vulgarity with great love for cricket. But these guys ride the tide for sure.
Marsh should be Lyon's sub fielder when it's a new ball and have Webster in at 5th
Congrats on a great career ashwin
We took 17 wickets , you took 10 😝
7:37 No Rohit Sharma was harmed here just move on
Subscribed for next 8 days 😂
I really enjoy your show, great work budds
Great Alrounder after Kapil Dev.
God bless Ashwin and his family
Its funny you put ad just before Ashwin topic, you know your audience 😂
You guys fucking rule. Im late to the bandwagon but fuck it better late than never. The banter is 5 star. What a test, what a series. Bring on boxing day.
Rain saved India. Cummins tried very hard to make some match out of this already drawn match. What a captain
India played only 2.1 overs if they played any longer then you can see if they got saved or not
Starc's out here 4th highest averaging 19 after 3 tests
Higgo's arms, how get?
Ashwin bowling average:
home: 21.57
away: 30.55
Bring in ashwin to the show asap now 💯
With the Perth-Adelaide-Gabba lineup, the aussies planned for 3-0 which ended up 1-1. So.... Fancy some kangaroo curry for the next two tests?
“We were on a break” when that collapse happened
Ash: The Hero. The Warrior.
Fucking brilliant analysis!!
And huuuuge admission of core Aussie character!
Amazing episode!!!
Damn Higgos guns !!!! #topbicepsgame
Had India chased that down under different circumstances, that woulda been the biggest jester show anyone woulda ever witnessed
Watched this on the way home from the Brisbane show. I’m a loser
Ash took all those wickets, and made 6 centuries. How many others with six centuries have nearly 800 international wickets?
None
@abhinavnair790 exactly. Ash is a king we won't find another of.
@@HairTiesForGlorfindel People will realise his and Jadeja's value when Ind starts losing/ drawing games and series in Ind like we used to. A lot of them have taken their contributions for granted.
Please fix the audio episodes boizz. Unable to download the last few episodes on podcast apps. Cheers and thanks!
Aus believe.. Ind believe.. this is the clash of the titans & the stage whr champions show what they are made of.. you better believe!
You couldn’t blame anyone for wanting to fast forward to 26th, even if it means skipping Christmas.. this is epic!

Khwajah got a good one the others were rash shots.
im not even indian but damn its much more funny to watch when aus dont win😂
Ashwin has maximum man of the series award in test cricket - 11
Only person equal to that was Muralidharan
That speaks volumes of his achievement but less acknowledged my most in India
Good day mate
7:39 I see what you did there 😂
Time to get ashwin on the show guys
Aus need to thank rain, becoz, india good in chasing record, and 265 in 52 overs, its just a good finishing win game for india.
Stop smoking weed ! India deserved to lose this match the way they batted and they couldn't have chased it down ! Stop glorifying this shitty Indian team
Going at 5 rpo on Day 1 is different to going at that rate on the final day with the ball moving.
BOYSSS!! Love watching them celebrate a draw. Real 2005 ashes vibes
I still don't feel safe
Ponting's best knock was in that Old Trafford draw imo.
Why brewwwwwww??? @louquay
10:07 preach brother 🙏
Trust me , We (India) are going to run through the next tests to victory and you both will be stalling and crying on Aussie players performance just like post first test 😂

Funny how we humans unknowingly start flexing our biceps when we build muscles 😅 where is the beach 💪
They were on a break 😉
9:21 😂😂 That's fair
Bro knows we indian will directly jump to 13:35 😭
He talks about sponsores correctly at that time
+1😂
Jaddu is very fit. He has at least 2 years of test cricket

That's how the first world looks now
I disagree. As Aussies we HATE being told what to do. But write it down and put it in a sign, we LOVE that shit! ;)
The bloke spent most of his career chucking it. No credit.
Aus would be making a big mistake if they decide to persist with Mitch Marsh for boxing day test
With sydney being rained out, is it going to be a straight shootout on boxing day for the BGT?
Where tf did you get that information from now smfh?
Aussies playing like a Bazball tribute band! 🇬🇧'
'(Moral) Men at Work'
Higgos' been curling some weight!!
TIL ashwin has 6 test centuries
But what's he like as a bloke?
Shit by all accounts
