*Official* World Test Championship Final 2021

Devon is so sweet, acknowledges the good ball from a bowler with a smile and a nod. Respect for ashwin there that was beautifully bowled

 

[nzfan]

Did DK say these are tough bowling conditions? No swing, no seam... Mate

 

[OverratedSanity]

Pant has to be better. Should know theyre trying to target Conway on his hip.

 

[Gob]

If a wicket falls now, what do you guys think about the idea of sending southee in with license to hit bigguns?

Immensely likeable guy it seems. The 'Mike Hussey' paralells are quite apparent.

Tough if he was batting

I really think we showed a lot of positive signs here. Sure, it may not be enough to play Anderson under clouds but these are typically conditions we would have collapsed for 100-130 at least once, if not both times. There is definite improvement here, it is just slow and our luck has played its part with NZ getting the warm up games and even making the final with covid etc and us having even the IPL postponed and coming in cold. I mean, I always think the side will fight back and I still think we will...

would venture to say that England don't have the 3rd and 4th seamers that NZ have, so there may be a let up in pressure.

Don't get this at all? We're 33/0 and we need just about 100 more

Yeah, I'd troll India with some jammy edges from the tailender.

 

[The Hutt Rec]

Could see that coming with Latham, looked all at sea.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Oh Tom Tom.....

 

[OverratedSanity]

Beautiful. Had latham tied up in knots.

 

[cnerd123]

But I thought Latham dominated spin

Imagine if Ashwin somehow bowls us to victory here.

 

[Flem274*]

Latham you're so dumb sometimes

right huck a tailender up there let's slog him

 

[hendrix]

Oh Tom, surely you bring out the sweep before doing that???

 

[nzfan]

Immensely likeable guy it seems. The 'Mike Hussey' paralells are quite apparent.

Would love to see him finish with a not out and claim 1% of Huss' legend status

 

[Flem274*]

But I thought Latham dominated spin

It's a bit like Kohli dominating pace

 

[Moss]

Owned Latham there, very jumpy innings from Tom. Guess I'd be concerned about him for the India tour too, prior to this game wasn't the case.

 

[Gob]

Don't get this at all? We're 33/0 and we need just about 100 more

Yeah i thought that was a pretty terrible idea my self.

 

[Meridio]

Eek, nervous times. Latham had looked a bit iffy this innings.
