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

These two to get to the total by themselves.
Not a good bowling effort. The batting effort will be less i suspect v England side- they will be able to work out Head pretty easily.

I think bowling to Thakur like he's a crap batsman instead of a good tailender is generally a good idea, but yeah after Thakur copped some #punishment he was really parking on the back foot for a while.
Unfortunately rather than the old idea of pithing one up after forcing the batsman back, the predominant idea these days is to keep bowling short.

Aus always Struggle to get the tail. Who the f**k picks starc in playing 11. Just pathetic bowler. I think the worst bowler with 300 wickets.

Tbf, when they pitch it up, the slip fielders just drop it. Should just try and angle one in tbh. Both these batsmen dont play the incoming full delivery great.

Seriously, this side is ****ing pathetic. Whenever someone comes at us, we drop our shoulders.
There never seems to be a plan B. Or at least a plan B that doesn't involve bowling short filth. It's the 'attacking' mindset, like to would be treason to set a more defensive field and bowl dry.

Though I see we are finally down to two slips.
