*Official* World Test Championship Final 2021

If he's bowling around the wicket to both batsmen there's definitely no reason at all not to have Jamieson on instead.

Well at least he's back over now.

That futile effort to save the boundary is the worst I have ever seen Jamieson on the field lol. Has been a real nightmare.

Laxman is probably my favourite batsman of all time but I wouldn’t say I found his batting aesthetic. His height made him look a bit ungainly imo and it often felt like he almost generated power for his shots through a robotic rotatable belly rather than using his full body in unison.

Dravid was the most aesthetic of that generation imo.

time to pull boult

All members with Boult fanboi usernames should be banned until he starts bowling properly again IMO.

what. Laxman's on drives and wristy timing through midwicket were pure ***.

Should send Pant at 3 if we can get to 50 without losing a wicket

!

He's right. His swivel pulls had a lot of tummy behind them.

Ok you've got me chasing my own tail here lol. I think he's aesthetically the most pleasing batsman I've seen since Laxman and Inzy retired, but that counts for little overall. His technique in terms of effectiveness is not the worst either, but it's the lapses in concentration that let him down usually.

I also thought Laxman and Inzy had horrible looking techniques so I just don’t like watching that style of batsman I think.

I thought Laxman had a horrible looking technique. Inzamam too. Agree about Dravid, super solid looking technique. Runs most important

Maybe if you get to 100, but the main thing to do is bat for a draw at the moment. Not that I’ve checked what happens if it’s a draw assuming it’s shared

I have to say David Boon and Graham Gooch were the most aesthetically pleasing batsmen of my childhood. Both absolute heroes.

Azhar, Crowe and Jr. Waugh for mine

 

[OverratedSanity]

Martyn and Anwar the best to watch imo

 

[thundaboult]

pretty toothless so far

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

For me it was Sarwan.

 

[silentstriker]

I guess what would even be the recipe for an Indian win? Get a lead of 20-30 tonight and then hit hard for 40 overs tomorrow trying to get a lead of like 175-200 and then hope to get them out in 40 overs??

Nice Southee

 

[OverratedSanity]

Yeah gills got some work to do in the nets if he doesnt want to get eaten whole by anderson and broad

 

[silentstriker]

Well nevermind
