Head named POTM.

Meanwhile, to shut up the doubters, Australia won both innings comfortably. Comprehensive thrashing, that!

This Test was won and lost twice, on the first day.

First, Rohit Sharma won the toss, but elected to bowl, after not selecting the ICC's #1 rated Test bowler, Ravi Ashwin.

Then, after some early success - having the Aussies at 3/76 - Travis Head and Steve Smith virtually batted India out of the Test.

Perhaps, I should mention a third. Smudge's incredible snaffle to dismiss Virat Kohli.

This was Australia's ninth ICC title, making them the only team to have won at least one of each trophy: five ODI World Cups, two ODI Champions Trophies, one T20 World Cup, and now the World Test Championship.

Head Player of the Match again. :!:

Both teams fined for slow over rates. Prolly should have points deducted for the next cycle. Why should they get off easy when it's the final?

And Gill fined separately for his hissy fit (which reminded me of the way FTB fanboys behave). Gill should be ashamed of himself.
