*Official* World Test Championship Final 2021

[Flem274*]

This is such a mediocre Indian batting line up. They may win 1 test v England but its quite likely they will get walloped.

Get a grip dude. England can bowl very well but their batting is soooo shaky.

 

[nzfan]

4-1 again imo

If you play England first xi 2-2. They'll mostly field second xi so it'll be 3-1 to India imo

Seriously? This is a joke right? These guys destroy England.

India have bowled us out for 105 before on a flat Auckland pitch. I think you can apply some pressure if you apply speed wobbles early.

 

[The Hutt Rec]

Bring Jamieson on for Southee here.

 

[Spark]

Would not be bowling Southee here.

 

[Meridio]

Ugh, awful over Southee. Looks tired

 

[hendrix]

why is the crowd randomly sledging NZ players? They are not engaging with the crowd much from whatever I have seen.

They've been doing it the whole match and not in a funny/enjoyable way. Pretty poor really.

 

[Dissector]

Pathetic from the lower order as usual. I think the Rahane dismissal was key. He would have been the perfect batsman to fight it out with the tail and was unlucky to be dismissed down the leg side. Other than that it's been a poor batting effort. Kohli has yet another failure in a big game.

The balance between good and bad for most cricketers today in the T20 age is always so amplified and so much of rocks or diamonds performances happen because of that. We always need to keep that in mind with the great performances we see today. The ceiling is higher but the depths are lower too.

 

[Flem274*]

Wagner time.

 

[Moss]

Great work NZ to see off India’s recovery, but looks like Ishant and Shami will be a handful to face.

 

[hendrix]

Boult's cheap wickets don't change the fact that Jamieson as our best bowler needs to be bowling at Ishant and Shami right now

 

[Uppercut]

Hopefully reserve days become more common after this, especially for tests in England. It's turned this match from a washout into a really interesting game.

 

[Arachnodouche]

That's a wide, c'mon.

 

[honestbharani]

They've been doing it the whole match and not in a funny/enjoyable way. Pretty poor really.

Yeah impossible to call it any other way. I mean, every time I have been to a test in India, its always about India. Either we are praised or cussed, but opponents are usually left alone. I mean, there were the Symonds incidents but other than that I feel they can be pretty normal for visitors. This is piss poor.

 

[nzfan]

We were like 160/6 yesterday but pushed to 240+ minor hope for India to see if they can at least put 20+ runs

 

[Bijed]

Tbh, with the pressure of the situation, this isn't too far from being in 'Tricky Chase' territory imo, especially if the new ball gets a wicket or two. And whilst there certainly isn't run rate pressure in the traditional sense of the phrase, if India hang around a bit more and score a few more, NZ will have to go at what would be a relatively high rate compared to what we've seen so far in the match.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Seriously? This is a joke right? These guys destroy England.

We got killed 4-1 a couple of years ago and that lineup had a Kohli who was getting runs every time he went out to bat.

 

[Athlai]

I hate this crowd
