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

Why the **** did Australia send Hayden and Langer as their two comms?

Well Slater isn't an option anymore

Suicide hotlines need some work I guess

 

[Molehill]

We've had that too except no Hussain/Guha. Are they cutting back to them in the studio or something?

Three on at each time. At the mo it's Sanga, Hayden, Shastri.

Seems to be a rule where it's one Aussie, one Indian and one neutral.

We did get Ponting but he was uncharacteristically crap in his stint too.

 

[Spikey]

We had Nass up first

Same for us. Weird that you had Guha/Hussain for a bit when we didn't.

EDIT: Guess we did and I just wasn't paying attention to the commentary at the time, lol.

 

[trundler]

These two really digging into Nostrils here. Gross.

UTI Yadav leaking too much now

 

[Burgey]

One of the reasons Hayden is awful (and they are legion) is the way he emphasises multiple words every sentence with no good reason.

And he’s a bad bloke.

And a Qlder etc etc

Honeymoon period's probably done and he can't be bothered putting in the effort to offer real insight. Happens to every commentator.

 

[Spikey]

Sometimes u just get a good ball

 

[Molehill]

Ouch, cheap dismissal. To be fair, Thakur has bowled a decent spell.

 

[Starfighter]

Thanks Warner, that was basically a long hop down the leg side.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Well that is a Shardul Yadav wicket.

 

[Gnske]

Seriously, you lose your wicket to a Thakur short ball?

Broad will end this midget

 

[Burgey]

Well Slater isn't an option anymore

If any network would give him a go it would be Seven.

Bit unlucky there Warner. Nothing ball. Was a low key very decent knock out of nowhere from him tbh. Ngl if he produced that in the first dig most tests of the Ashes I’d be thrilled.

 

[the big bambino]

Would they? India bat last

it’s green. Not too hot either. The pitch shouldn’t crack. This is the most likely occasion it will get variable. Even if it does get variable in the last innings India might clean up in their first innings after exploiting the variation in our first innings.

As good as Ponting can be he doesn't seem anywhere near as consistent as he should be.

Jesus does **** get wickets. Terrible time for it to happen to.

 

[andruid]

When Australia lose an early wicket

 

[TimAngas]

Well that's disappointing. But I now have more than faint hope of Warner doing a reasonable job this English summer.

 

[Prince EWS]

Awesome catch though. Making a couple of us taste it a bit for getting stuck into his keeping earlier.
