Twitter explodes as Australia conquers Edgbaston again after 18 years

Winning a test match by 251 runs after being 122/8 in the first innings doesn't happen very often. A remarkable test match for Steve Smith, and well done Nathan Lyon and Cummins.

Although Smith was incredible but my man of the match is Mitch Marsh for not playing 💟

From Aus 122-8 on day 1, to victory on day five by 251 runs. Many heroes for Australia, but it starts and stops with Steve Smith’s hundreds. Test cricket showed much of its drama and many narratives (good & indifferent)👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. !!!

Aussies too good this Test .. They look very very well coached & prepared for these conditions .. Unless England find lateral movement this could be a long 6 weeks ..

Can’t help but wonder how many Test wickets Pat Cummins would now have if he hadn’t been injured for four years (and out of Tests for five).
