*Official* World Test Championship Final 2021

Can't believe it has been 30 innings since Pujara scored his last test hundred.

But in those 30 innings, some of them were more valuable than a 100.

Doull eviscerating Jurgensen here hahaha

Absolutely. Those innings in Sydney and Brisbane are worth rewatching. Guts, gumption and glory.

I hate that dab to slip and third man off the rising delivery that Rohit and Gill play. No value at all hanging your bat out to dry like that. Just let the damned thing go.

Lara was amazing to watch.

Indeed so. Deific.

His back cut was spellbinding; just took it so late.

Don't want to put the mockers on the boy, but see a bit of the great man in Pant, actually. Doesn't quite have BCL's fleetness of foot, but plays it late like he did

So apparently someone in the crowd was yelling some awful stuff at the NZ team and Ross Taylor in particular and it was clearly audible through the broadcast? They've been kicked out now apparently

Seriously if you absolutely must yell inane garbage at players, why would you do it at a mostly-empty ground with three thousand microphones which pick up everything said on-field

edit: two people, in fact

He sounded off his face. Through headphones it was clearly audible. Didn't hear him talking to Taylor but definitely Williamson and the lower order. It was pretty low level chat but during the bowlers run in and delivery when the commentators even go quiet.

The tweets I'm seeing make it sound like the stuff directed at Taylor earlier was pretty clearly racist.

Better conditions for batting though there’s still swing to be had. Time for a Wagner burst before EOD, these two seem pretty comfortable now.

Great. What a ****. He mainly settled for calling the white players ****, which was annoying through the broadcast and people around him but otherwise just dumb drunk. Hope he gets a solid ban if he was racist.

Wagner vs Rohit?

Sky must've kept it off their broadcast; honestly didn't hear anything even after I'd seen the posts in the thread.

Dude was doing it the entirety of NZ's batting today - screaming out filth all the way through the bowler's run up. Couldn't believe they allowed it to go on for so long.

Whether he was racist or not he should get a ban. Clearly screaming deliberately during the runup.

"Dumb drunk" is such a NZ/England/Australian binge culture excuse.

 

[Moss]

Southee!

Fine allround day for him.

Rohit actually played pretty well up to that point. Will be disappointed at giving away starts in both innings.

 

[hendrix]

Probably worth a review that one, particularly with 3 in the bag

 

[Flem274*]

Southee's really come to the party after a mixed first innings

 

[Flem274*]

someone else is yelling now. i don't think it's sledging though, just annoying

 

[Moss]

Brute of a ball, well bowled Southee
