Read our privacy policy Australian media congratulated Pat Cummins’ side on Monday following their World Test Championship final win over India but with an Ashes series against England looming the celebrations remained somewhat muted. Chief cricket writer Ben Horne said in The Australian that the team deserved praise for handing India “an old fashioned thrashing”. “But deep down they know that the main prize is still to be won, because the brutal truth is this fine accomplishment from Pat Cummins’ men will soon be forgotten if Australia doesn’t win the Ashes.” The performance of bowler Scott Boland, who claimed three second-innings wickets including that of Virat Kohli, caught the eye of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation’s Dean Bilton. “The single greatest Australian cricket story of the past two years, and a bowler whose knack of conjuring momentary magic inside spells of sustained excellence is shared with the true bowling greats of the game,” wrote Bilton.
