Also. I know it's been said many times in the last 24 hours with the two victories we've seen today. But, long live test cricket. You simply don't get the same emotional ups and downs in any other format. It is unrivalled

First up, West Indies, inspired by a seven-wicket haul from Shamar Joseph, fashioned a stunning eight-run Test win, their first in Australia in 27 years.
What a remarkable moment for Shamar Joseph and West Indies cricket. The most remarkable test win that I can put my mind on, given the context

Today he created history at Gabba.
12 months ago he was nowhere.
And today he is everywhere.

West Indies just beat Australia in Australia in a Test Match by 8 runs.
— Shoaib Akhtar (@shoaib100mph) January 28, 2024
I love such results, for the love of Test Cricket. Beautiful.
What a sensational win by WI!! Shamar Joseph retired hurt from batting yesterday & then came out to bowl today & took 7-68 to win the match. That's the type of character needed for international cricket & play through the pain barrier. Where's the deciding 3rd Test?!! #AUSvWI pic.twitter.com/Lsu9m6hJvQ

Remarkable test victory for England, so many stories to be told over the 4 days. Pope and Hartley showing enormous character and resilience in the toughest arena which is India. #INDvsENG

What a win. Pope simply outstanding. But, the show of confidence Stokes showed in Tom Hartley at the end of day 1 has paid dividends. Fantastic captaincy leading to an amazing victory
