*Official* World Test Championship Final 2021

[Arachnodouche]

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.

You'd be surprised how obnoxious desis abroad can get.

 

[Spark]

That's very intelligent captaincy.

 

[nightprowler10]

Take Southee off ffs.

 

[Meridio]

Good position, fly slip for a slogging tailender

 

[Athlai]

Spark lives in the future and tells me when wickets happen

 

[Aritro]

Kane wins at captaincy

 

[OverratedSanity]

That's quality

 

[honestbharani]

That's very intelligent captaincy.

Yeah and I wont mind the shot attempt either as he was trying to go over wide mid on. He is just the #10. That is all.

 

[Spark]

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.

This current England side - at least minus Stokes - is bad though. Like, a much much lesser version of that 2018 team.

 

[nzfan]

Just as expected, 15 runs added. Likely to chase 140

 

[nightprowler10]

Take Southee off ffs.

or not

 

[cnerd123]

the more I watch Bumrah bat the more I wonder how he ever scored that 50 in Australia.

 

[silentstriker]

Would not have ever considered that field placement.

 

[Spark]

Yeah and I wont mind the shot attempt either as he was trying to go over wide mid on. He is just the #10. That is all.

You just very rarely see that position, despite that exact shot going to that exact spot a lot for tailenders. It's something that should really be encouraged more by analysts and backroom staff.

 

[Niall]

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

We shall see, but its going to be a full strength England team who have not a series with more than 2 tests since the ATG Saffer team.

India will win a test and be competitive in others but the clown lower order along with Rahane etc so inconsistent, England will win.

 

[Noumenon]

The day of denouement. Expect our lot to crawl to 170 maximum.

Never have I hated being so accurate.

 

[nightprowler10]

I don't know why but this gave me a chuckle

 

[Athlai]

Would not have ever considered that field placement.

As a Buddhist Kane Williamson has access to concepts that would never occur to us mere mortals

 

[Niall]

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.

England aren't exactly elite, but at five tests in England is perfect for them, they can have their one stupid test a series and still rebound to win .

 

[nzfan]

The bowlers have done the job every time on this tour. Batting has been up and down. Hoping for a solid performance with the bat and not done panic striken chase
