*Official* World Test Championship Final 2021

[hendrix]

Yep that makes far more sense.

So why don't you just say you don't like having a test championship then.

 

[Pratters]

in that case all sporting tournaments are gimmicks and don’t matter. Sure man. Whatever you want to go with.

Not necessarily

 

[silentstriker]

I see it like a football Champions League Final. The winner is not necessarily the most accurate gauge of the best team in the world but it’s prestigious for teams and incredibly fun for fans regardless.

Yeah that’s why the football World Cup is a gimmick and no country cares if they win it.

Pujara is so slow and just bad against short stuff. Takes his eyes off when trying to evade it 99% of time.

 

[Pratters]

One bouncer to Gill, another to Pujara. Love test cricket so much.

Yeah he's got a shocking technique against the short ball. He didn't need to take most of those blows he took at Sydney.

wtf star sports, cutting to an ad during the replay of that bouncer hitting che pu

switching to ICC.tv

Tests dont work this way. Tests are in essence bilateral tours decided by countries. ICC might try to enforce calendars but rarely does it work successfully. I. The end countries decide who to play etc.

Everyone gets on Azam's dick for his cover drive but **** if Kohli's isn't textbook perfect.

 

[cnerd123]

slow absorbing passage of play here. As long as Virat is patient, we'll be fine. Worried he'll have a rush of blood and nick off.

Che Put solid so far.

CDG's selection justified just to bowl to Virat?

Would rather KJ justify refusing to give Kohli practice with the dukes during that RCB stint.

 

[hendrix]

Yeah look I don't get this. Yes CdG is certainly more than a part time bowler but we hae one of the best bowling attacks in the world. Why open up after lunch with him?

 

[hendrix]

CDG's selection justified just to bowl to Virat?

He's got him out once. It means nothing.

 

[h_hurricane]

Kohli getting into double digits is so reassuring. Now make it count.

 

[Meridio]

Think that's enough from CDG for now. I want some Jam

 

[cnerd123]

Was on tbh. Was going for four or more with any contact.

I'm not a fan of CDG but he's done a good job today. Came close to nicking off Virat and has bowled good lines

 

[honestbharani]

That was a perfectly justified shot IMO.

 

[hendrix]

And now Wagner going short ball theory.

This is really really bad captaincy. Get your best bowlers on and pitch the ball up FFS.
