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

Tbf, when they pitch it up, the slip fielders just drop it. Should just try and angle one in tbh.

Ok he tried there

 

[Molehill]

OK that was tough. But still, I don't think he got the positioning right.

I was trying to work out whether it should've been Carey's or if Warner just got it totally wrong. I think in the end it was the latter.

 

[Saket1209]

Nah I'm pretty sure Lillee has 300 wickets.

(also for a more serious answer - Vettori)

You may be joking right.

Brett Lee?

 

[morgieb]

Be plenty coming at you in next 6 weeks. Going to be some ride.

We play like this we lose 5-0.

India will score 600 here.

 

[Prince EWS]

Ok he tried there

Yeah the execution was awful but I liked the idea.

 

[morgieb]

You may be joking right.

Haha the Lillee thing is more that his rating system has him like 80th best of all-time when lots would have him Top 10.

 

[Prince EWS]

Brett Lee?

Ishant definitely up there too, even though I respect his late career improvement.

 

[TimAngas]

Not too worried by Cummins and Starc lacking rhythm. The lack of a practice match is surely partly to blame, and so I am confident they will work into it.

It's Harbhajan

 

[morgieb]

When was the last time Australia bowled a session without a maiden?

That's been our biggest issue. Honestly when Thakur and Rahane were starting to get comfortable Australia should've bowled as dry as possible and forced them to play a difficult shot.

 

[Aidan11]

100 partnership.

 

[Starfighter]

What is this trash from Lyon?

 

[OverratedSanity]

I was against the selection process, but props to Rahane he's been superb. Best knock since the MCG classic.

Starc seems to lack rhythm against anyone actually good though.

Cummins has been good today I think. Wasn't so great yesterday though which yeah I think is down to rust.

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

100 partnership up , 250 up for India what a fight back this is ..Australia rattled big time here

 

[Prince EWS]

It's Harbhajan

Yeah you're probably right. I find Vettori vs Harbhajan intuitively hard to split but my ranking system Morgie mentioned does have Vettori like 70 places ahead which is hard for me to ignore if I want to take my own work even vaguely seriously.

Would've required Starc not being in the team.

I guess that my hopes his recent red ball improvement would carry to England were a bridge too far. Also really concerning that this is our only warm up for the Ashes. Great bit of decision making again, dolts.

 

[Starfighter]

It's Harbhajan

Nobody's had a series like his 2001 series though. So there's that to put Vettori and Lee behind.

 

[Starfighter]

Looked high if he didn't hit it.
