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

[MW1304]

Alex Carey is the next Adam Gilchrist of Australia cricket

Said no one ever.

India can't chase this, it's already too high but maybe they can bat out a day for a draw. Wonder how many overs face today. Will Australia declare once they get to 400?

 

[morgieb]

Like seriously are the Aussies playing for a draw or what

I think the wicket is legit difficult to bat on.

need to go for it now though.

 

[trundler]

That was Cam "more valuable than Stokes" Green, everyone

Eh I don't mind it. If they get out slogging fans would still demand their heads on a plate since there's plenty of time left and not yet enough runs to justify just having a slash. Green seems to be a bit block-bash at the moment in tests which isn't ideal but all rounders usually take ages to figure out their game.

 

[Starfighter]

India's use of Axar as sub fielder after each bowler has finished their spell makes one think the new paying conditions (shorter time period before can't bowl) on time spent of the field might not be having the needed effect.

Didn't touch it.

Isn't this a 6 day match?

EDIT
Not according to cricinfo. No idea why I thought that.

 

[Aidan11]

Isn't this a 6 day match?

There's a reserve day but I thought that was in case of poor weather.

 

[ataraxia]

Isn't this a 6 day match?

No, only if rain-affected. Which doesn't matter anyway as it never rains in England in June.

 

[wpdavid]

Thanks gents. Actually, there is rain forecast for late afternoon tomorrow. Not that I foresee India lasting that long.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Incredible win for the Brumbies v the Hurricanes in a Super rugby 1/4 final.

Australia should win comfortably, but India still has a 5% chance imo.

Considering Stokes can't bowl atm, he probably is.

That's not what Green was doing though. His plan, if that's what it was, to Jadeja was just awful. There was no end-game except getting out, and it wouldn't have been acceptable in any game situation let alone when you're 350 ahead looking to set a target.

Considering Stokes can't bowl atm, he probably is.

I would take Neser ahead of Green as a test all-rounder right now

 

[Son Of Coco]

Wasn't Alex Carey suppose to be the next Adam Gilchrist of Australia cricket what went wrong guys

As in the next wicketkeeper? Yes.

 

[NotMcKenzie]

By 'at the moment', you mean for his whole — admittedly short — test career.

 

[NotMcKenzie]

Also, why have cars become so incredibly ugly in the past few years?

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Sanga brought out his dissertation on wicket-keeping there

 

[NotMcKenzie]

No he wasn't.

Knows how to build an innings though
