*Official* World Test Championship Final 2021

[The Hutt Rec]

Yes. I do see a tense final day. I think it'll either be a low scoring contest with NZ looking to chase 150-odd with not much time or alternatively India looking to bat out the day after NZ post 400-odd.

I dunno, if we get a full final two days and NZ scrape a hundred run lead, I think that could be pretty huge. Pitch won't be turning into a road with another day washed out ...

Looks like with all this rain we are heading towards a draw, i dont know how to feel about this being a indian fan we always play aggressive win or lose. Why cant icc ever get it right guys why choose England to host a final in a major historic event.

Gimh is one of the worst posters of all time

I thought he was cool

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Ironic that if they had chosen the usual wet ground in Manchester they'd have got the final completed.

 

[Arachnodouche]

Hard to stay excited over this now. Momentum's all ruined.

Somebody up there just doesn’t like test cricket.

ENG

2013 CT Final nearly washed out
2019 WC SF happened in 2 days
2021 WTC less said the better.

Why not schedule important matches in AUG/SEP ?

New Zealand fans must have no desire to watch cricket anymore after this how do they continue to believe.

2021- I’m guessing the Eng-Ind tests count towards the next WTC? If so, would be quite strange to have the final before that.

2019 and 2013 - both of these were ashes years so no way the board would agree to move things around. Somewhat agree about the CT though, in 2004 it was held in September after both NZ and Windies toured

So this ENG-NZ series didn't contribute towards next WTC ? ?

No it doesn’t, it was arranged only a few months back to fill in a gap in the schedule because of broadcaster demands I think. NZ’s scheduled tour of England as per the FTP is next year, they play 3 tests. (File under ‘just cricket things’)
