*Official* World Test Championship Final 2021

[SillyCowCorner1]

It's raining cats and dogs behind them

 

[sunilz]

Hope Panauti doesn't lose yet another toss?

 

[_00_deathscar]

Kohli is certainly using better quality detergent ?

Washing Powder Nirma.

 

[MW1304]

Oh Lord Kohli's turn-ups

 

[NZTailender]

Rain after a bit of sun might lead to greasy conditions in Ajax

 

[Days of Grace]

What will India do when they win the toss? Conditions almost dictate bowling first but they will want to use their two spinners in the 4th innings.

You're bowling all day long. There's not going to be enough cricket played and enough wear in the pitch to see spinners become a factor. It's going to be so wet, not baked particularly much by the sun, and not played on. Spin won't play a factor even if we do get enough cricket.

 

[Days of Grace]

Is it too late for India to change their XI?

Why wouldn’t they wait until just before the toss before announcing their final composition?

 

[nzfan]

Showers all day of the test match... that sucks. I'm already switched off to be honest. Stop starts don't help watching the test match through out the night. Likely only watching highlights if at all there's some play.

will ian smith be commentating? please let that man commentate

wanna hear him commentate a new zealand match one more time, would be so nice to hear his passion if we win

 

[Flem274*]

you know what's gonna happen right? it's day 6, india are 8 or 9 down, the clouds are looming...

and then the english weather ****s us harder than modern internet visual literature

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

On the summer solstice, scores will be level.

He will be from what I know... it's with Sky afterall.

They just have broadcast rights, they don't decide the commentators.

[Flem274*]

barring the racist that's actually an ok line up. excited to hear bishop again. best commentator in the world.

 

[Athlai]

No Bumble is pretty gun.

 

[thundaboult]

no ian smith....

did he miss out by the barest of margins? (lel)

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Ugh. Have to listen to Isa Guha mangle the name of the country. She'd be fine if she just used Kiwis rather than the ghastly "Noo Zeelnd"

[see also: largely unimportant things that for no apparent reason drive me bonkers]

 

[Flem274*]

i was hoping they'd send mark waugh so he could finally watch an oceania side win in england

i guess australia weren't important enough to include in the commentary booth. down with bangladesh and co.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Bish will surely be missed in the test match starting tomorrow*
