India winning the toss and choosing to bowl again is a missed opportunity. Since the series is already won, they should’ve batted first to test their defense and strengthen that area. Always chasing is safe, but champions need to test both sides of the game! 🏏🇮🇳

"I'm all good to go" 💪
Cameron Green is fit for the Cape Town decider 🇦🇺🔥
He's been out since an abdominal injury in the final ODI against South Africa on September 30. He's now cleared to play the third Test as a batter, and he was striking the ball crisply against Lyon and Neser in the Newlands nets 🏏
🗣️ "Pretty surprised with how quick it's actually healed or how functional I feel only a few weeks after."
🗣️ "I'm very happy to move up and down the order depending on what the team wants."
"I love his approach to coaching", Nasser Hussain backs Andy Flower to replace Brendon McCullum as England's Test coach 🏏
"For me, the best person for that would be Andy Flower by a country mile. Flower took England to No.1 in the world."
"We're very happy. It's always good to beat India, a very strong side they have been for many years, and to beat them 3-0 with one game to go."

Happy Birthday, Ian Bradshaw! 🇼🏏
Not every cricket hero is defined by statistics—some are remembered for delivering when their team needed them the most.
Ian Bradshaw will forever be celebrated for his unforgettable partnership with Courtney Browne that guided the West Indies to a dramatic ICC Champions Trophy triumph in 2004. Alongside that iconic moment, the left-arm pacer also claimed 78 ODI wickets and proudly represented the Caribbean on the international stage.
Wishing Ian Bradshaw a very happy birthday and celebrating a career filled with memorable contributions to West Indies cricket. 👏🎂
