*Official* World Test Championship Final 2021

[Spark]

Congrats NZ ?

This must be the greatest moment in NZ cricket history. Superb achievement.

It's the pinnacle for sure but for a singular moment, you'd be hard pressed to go past the semi final vs SA in 2015, even if the final wasn't all that. That was a pretty extraordinary game of cricket.

Congrats to the NZ fans here who've stuck with them through all those doom and gloom tests against SA/Australia, the McHesson fiasco, the talk of NZC wanting to stop taking tests seriously, that long, long list of openers and everything else.

Couldn't have happened to a nicer bunch.

Agreed. And **** blocky tbh.

 

[Starfighter]

Well I better give my congratulations and signpost the terribly non-sensible time I'm awake at.

@sunilz Your thoughts on panauti please

My advice is to stop expecting anything in ICC tournaments. Guy is extremely shameless. There isn't any accountability in Indian cricket.
2017 CT , 2019 WC ,2021 WTC Final.
And yet there will be no change in captaincy

Congrats NZ. ?

williamson wag

think him raising a bat after his 100 was my fb cover photo for years before i deleted fb

great win this. they won the 2019 wc afaic and that deflection off stokes' bat shouldn't have counted. but now they have the better world trophy anyway. gg.

ashwin now has 18 wickets at 28 in england

What a run since that series loss to Australia.

2-0 vs India
2-0 vs West Indies
2-0 vs Pakistan

1-0 vs England (not WTC of course)

Then Champions

Last 8 tests - 7 wins, 1 draw (that we were well on top of).

It is written.

Incredible performance and the greatest achievement in NZ cricket history.
Well played..

So thrilled!

Unfortunate for India. Thet are an incredible team /squad. Feels like luck goes against this team in major tournament matches. Almost got that 99-2011 south African team vibe to it.

 

[Beamer]

Love it. Very happy for all my Kiwi friends on this forum. You have an amazing side.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Kyle easily.

I think so too, but the others must be close.

 

[Jezroy]

MOTM: Kane, Kyle, or Tim?

Feel like it could be Kane just so he can look surprised and go “ME?!?” again.

 

[veganbob]

Williamson both innings was crucial but hard not to give it to jamieson

 

[OverratedSanity]

I reckon even if India had survived for another half hour or so, there might have been enough run rate pressure on NZ to make this a much more nervy chase. Pathetic batting performance.

 

[Moss]

MOTM: Kane, Kyle, or Tim?

Should be Jamieson. His spell today was a huge blow landed as far as India were concerned. Even the dropped catch meant that Pant and India sort of went into panic mode and had to advance the game.

 

[Jezroy]

BJ still has his pads on
