Siraj deserves every accolade coming his way. Having to bowl bowl 30 overs in the second innings of a fifth Test is absolutely inhumane. India have done admirably this series in spite of some atrocious team selection.

This opens up the debate of whether injury replacements should be allowed.
Here's my suggestion: Let the medical staff of both teams evaluate a player. If both teams' medical professionals come to a consensus that a player cannot continue, they are granted a replacement.

I never watched the greats like Marshall, Lillee, Hadlee, Imran and those before them. I missed the primes of Ambrose, Donald, Wasim, and Waqar. But I will forever consider myself lucky to have witnessed Jasprit Bumrah's entire career.

Hot take: The culture of fining anyone who criticises the umpires is outdated and needs to change. Umpires should absolutely be criticised if and when they make mistakes.
West Indies coach Daren Sammy has been fined 15% of his match fee for his criticism of third umpire Adrian Holdstock during the opening Test against Australia in Barbados bit.ly/3TMWESh #WIvAUS
