*Official* World Test Championship Final 2021

[The Hutt Rec]

Gah, this is bollocks.

Probably strengthens the case for all future ICC tournament finals to be played in Ahmedabad.

I vote for Alaska during their 24 hour sunlight months.

 

[Apex Predator]

India will take it.. Southee was looking very dangerous.
Even day I suppose.

 

[Jack1]

Floodlights must be a bit two bob. Blazing on full.

The problem is the ball is red, artificial lights don't help much if at all

 

[The Hutt Rec]

Cricinfo says the full-on covers coming out ...

This certainly is the ultimate test (of patience ... for viewers ... for the damn weather)

 

[Apex Predator]

Play will resume lol.. NZ won't mind this

 

[sunilz]

This start-stop play mostly favours bowling team. Hope no more play today .?

 

[Teja.]

Great partnership.

 

[Aritro]

Sanga is a very bright guy with cogent things to say, but he's still a long way off mastering the equally important art of shutting the **** up.

 

[Moss]

Yup vital partnership considering Rahane hasn’t been all that convincing.

 

[Noumenon]

Isa, DK and Sanga have got that funereal expression on.

Ha ha. His response to Guha’s question sounds like he’s voicing over a documentary.

 

[The Hutt Rec]

That camera angle makes it look like they've relegating Sanga to the broom closet.

 

[Aritro]

These guys are so determined to impress Isa with their maturity and perspective it's ****ing unreal.

I completely understand, of course.

 

[Aritro]

Alright it's making me cringe now. DK needs to stop directly saying things to Isa.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

that last ball of the Southee over was truly horror stuff

 

[hendrix]

These guys are so determined to impress Isa with their maturity and perspective it's ****ing unreal.

I completely understand, of course.

lollll

 

[honestbharani]

I completely understand, of course.

Isa's descriptions of Gill's drives too, TBF.

Just wanna point out that had this been a pitch in India that helped the spinners exactly as much as this one has helped the seamers, the tourists would have been all out for a 100 or thereabouts and there would be questions on whether the pitch was poor or very poor. Case in point - the 2nd test wicket in Chennai against England.

 

[Aritro]

There will be 16 hours and 38 minutes of daylight in England today, and they couldn't even manage to get a full session in after lunch. I can't even.

It’s not a green seamer so I don’t agree,
seen tons of more seamer friendly pitches and conditions. The ball has swung but that’s nothing to do with the pitch.
