*Official* World Test Championship Final 2021

[Greg Needham]

Great catch

 

[Meridio]

Hell yeah.

Rubbish innings from Pant tbh. Tough conditions and all but looked a walking wicket every ball.

 

[thundaboult]

jamieson is a SUPERSTAR

 

[straw man]

Was just thinking it might be dangerous to take the new ball against two set batsmen, as might not give the controllable swing and nip we're still getting from the old one.

So uh ideal to get that wicket.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

2 more before the new ball would be nice. Want sub 220

 

[hendrix]

That flew.

Tempting fate but gee i love our slip cordon these days

 

[Spark]

that one guy who hates pant probably in dreamland rn

 

[trundler]

Whether Boult is saved for the new ball or not is immaterial really. NZ don't even need two bowlers.

 

[Pothas]

Jadeja guaranteed a 50 here right?

 

[Teja.]

We're ****ed. Need to crawl on to 200 somehow.

I''m still wondering if it's the best decision to take it ... might take 20 overs before it starts moving around, especially in these lush conditions, that top layer of the ball won't come off quickly.

 

[cnerd123]

Not a team optimised for these set of conditions. Need a Jaddu special

hasn't been around for two months, maybe this'll get him back

 

[Moss]

Jadeja and Jaimeson, least favourite members of the opposition for these teams. Should be fun/aggravating depending on your allegiance.

 

[nzfan]

Some justice there ... shocking shot in these conditions though.

The commentators try their best to glorify/justify Pant's non existent technique gavaskar saying he's opened his stance, Sanga saying he's side on deliberately for long. That's just the way he stands and plays.

He's definitely an impact player and on his day can win games like Dhoni but technique no way. He actually refreshing to watch though.

Don't you hate pant?

 

[OverratedSanity]

NZ's bowling field placing and fielding all been top notch. The bad ball's been rare, and when its happened some **** dives and stops it.

 

[trundler]

Gah was excited for a Wagner wicket there

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Most important partnership right here imo

 

[Burgey]

India paralysed by some tight bowling. Batted themselves into a real hole
