*Official* World Test Championship Final at The Oval – June 7–11, 2023

[Anil]

With Green and Carey yet to bat and Starc and Cummins being two lower order batsmen capable of quick runs, Australia would be looking to finish their innings in the high 500s or maybe even 600+.

With our vaunted batting lineup housing all these legendary IPL stars plus the comeback player of the year in the great Rahane, we are looking at a solid.................................................................................................................innings defeat here.

I'm already apprehensive about our chances of winning back the Ashes now.

 

[Anil]

Exactly, I mean if our T-20 stars can't make a contest out of it, what chance does England have?

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

India have really struggled to get over the line in tournament matches since Dhoni retired

 

[zaremba]

Good to see the Sussex boys rescuing the Crims.
Lucky for India that we've lent them Pujara.

Lords is an Australian ground pretty much. WTC finalshould be home and away bonanza with 5th match at Lords9

This isn't Lords, it's the oval

Travis ****ing Head!

I mean, he'a still **** in English conditions because he was 4 years ago, but not a bad effort all the same.

I'll add to this - Steve ****ing Smith!

 

[Burgey]

By now they should know not to make the rookie mistake of thinking that how Head looks has any relation to his effectiveness (because he usually looks terrible right before he starts belting it anyway)

 

[Starfighter]

Couldn't have asked for better. Seems the Indian bowling and fielding got worse after I went to bed.

Bro you're in my neck of the world! How long you here for

Yeah was going to message you, check your PM's.

Locals in london in singlets while Ussie stands in the sheds in a beanie and dressed like he’s going to look for Shackleton’s Endurance. I suppose that’s relativity.

All in Ernest.

 

[ashley bach]

Chris Gayle is in the crowd what a legend .

Is that Mel McLaughlin there having a beer with him?

 

[ashley bach]

being in London as early as this morning (now in Amsterdam), can confirm this -****ing warmer in Sydney in winter ffs

Hope Sillycow doesn't see this, he'll get jealous as ****

 

[Starfighter]

I'd have thought India would have learned by now to not drop Ashwin. Apparently not.

 

[ataraxia]

You know this guy Head, he really doesn't know how to score any runs at all in tough conditions. Will be completely clueless come the Ashes.

It's all about Form

Since November 2022 he scored 906 runs n 14 innings, I bet he continues to Drill English A** in Ashes

 

[TheJediBrah]

I'm not convinced these were "tough conditions" after the first session

Head will make a load in this warm-up game and go missing in the Ashes against proper bowlers

 

[G. S. Kohli]

I'd have thought India would have learned by now to not drop Ashwin. Apparently not.

We not need him till 4th afternoon or day 5.
With bat, his average not good in England.
India not need Umesh anyway

Sachin tendulkar was in Shocked mod since he heard of Ashwin not pick up for oval.

In newyork? You must read that Smithy(1822*) broke Sobers (1820) record with highest score by visiting player in England.
Bradman more runs than smith
