Any particular reason why Bhogle isn't commentating? Dont mind it personally cos I can't stand the bloke but hope it has nothing to do with the Covid situation in India

He's doing a lot of stuff through Cricbuzz

Here is Why Harsha Bhogle Withdrew his Name from the WTC Final’s Commentary Panel - News18

The International Cricket Council (ICC) had named a nine-member commentary panel for the WTC final and it consists of two Indians and Harsha Bhogle is not one of them.

Comms mentioned a 35 minute lunch while PCs requite a 40 min lunch, so apparently it has been reduced a bit, even tho the PCs don't account for it.

pretty sure they players would tell you to **** off if you asked them to have a 15 minute lunch.

They might but given the overs that have been lost, and the likelihood of losing overs every day, I think it’s still a reasonable thing to do for the fans. I don’t think we will get more than 98 overs in any day and players will likely get multiple breaks just due to weather so I don’t think it’s asking overly much of the players compared to their usual.

And its sunny now. Ideal for Nz if they can wrap this up and keep it below 240

Not that bad, and looking at the conditions, I feel it'll be even playing conditions throughout the match. It does become a complete lottery when the conditions are overcast and then all of a sudden after the first day or two it becomes sunny. Not in this game though, looking at the weather, I think bowlers from both sides will get equally good conditions to exploit.

Ah I see. Also bit surprised Dinesh Karthick being a part of the commentary team over Nicholas/Holding etc. I mean he is not terrible but there are better options but again Covid situation applies

Safe to say we are all glad Warne isn't a part of this. Would have had a break down that Nz went without a spinner

Jamieson is only 26 I see. Great bowler in the making fitness permitting

 

[Fuller Pilch]

2 to go

 

[straw man]

221 ao pls, same as WC semi final

 

[Daemon]

Honestly considering the conditions, number of times we've had our innings interrupted, plus the quality of bowling and catching from NZ, this is a total I can be content with.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Pls nerf shrek

Does justify having Ashwin and Jaddu as insurance.

KJ has been bowling splendidly.

 

[Daemon]

****ing hell Jamieson. What a bowler.

 

[hendrix]

FMD this Jamieson bloke is not bad

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Is that ball doing too much?

 

[Athlai]

See ya later alligator

 

[straw man]

Great bowling at the Ajaz Ajamieson Bowl

(though it looked pretty legside-ish)

 

[OverratedSanity]

If he doesnt get shami out, he should retire in embarassment. Dont think theres a batsman youd rather want to bowl to far a hattrick ball.

 

[Meridio]

***y stuff from Jamieson. Hat trick would be just lovely thanks
