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

[G. S. Kohli]

I can count on Umesh, his ability to hit sixes when it matter most

 

[Molehill]

A streaky edge followed by a thing of beauty, he's good to watch in this form.

 

[Prince EWS]

Rahane is very very good player, - Green not so

Weird post to make right after Green beat him twice in three balls.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Bit of a throwback to vintage 2014-2016 Rahane here.

Yeah what India really need to get back into this game in someone to come in and hit 18 (7).

 

[Adders]

Someone please tell me we aren't going to have to listen to JL during the Ashes?

 

[flibbertyjibber]

The old gonna flash flash hard trick followed by shot of the day. Rahane looks determined today.

Be Ponting surely?

He is in Indian team NOW because he is only Indian player who scored more test runs outside india than many present big name players

 

[Aidan11]

India going well this morning. On course to avoid the follow on.

 

[ataraxia]

India to wipe the deficit, as it's going.

 

[Prince EWS]

Be Ponting surely?

Ponting has been in the rotation here too tbf, and we still have Langer.

I'm sure we'll have more English commentators in the cycle then but it does seem like the Aussies will probably be Langer, Hayden and Ponting which is ... ugh.

 

[Saket1209]

Aus getting frustrated

Rahane is very very good player, - Green not so in these conditions
Maybe we should play Neser instead of Green>? Im not even sure Green is better than Neser overall batting or bowling or both in these conditions. Neser is way better bowler.
Starc to be flat out dropped.

Khawaja
Warner
Labuschagne
Smith
Head
Inglis/Harris(no6 batter)
Carey(w/k - no reverse sweep)
Neser
Cummins
Boland
Lyon.

Starc will be very necessary for Australia in this Ashes ..If England will produce flat wickets you need someone like Starc who can take the pitch out of the equation with his skill of bowling Yorkers and at good pace ..He may go for runs but he'll get wickets if England go all out against him

 

[GotSpin]

Weird music for this montage. Sounds like the hunger games

You should be banned for selecting Marcus Harris ahead of Green.

 

[ataraxia]

Shot.

You should be banned for selecting Marcus Harris ahead of Green.

I selected Neser ahead - playing role bowling all rounder which is Green's playing role , which he isnt good at in these conditions. flat dropped starc - up to 6 RPO. And prefer Inglis at no.6 position as a specialist batter - i rate Inglis, has been good in shield cricket, we need someone reliable at no.6 position.

 

[OverratedSanity]

That was a gabba flashback. Cummins getting PTSD rn.

 

[Saket1209]

Starc should focus only on shortest format
