[Cricket] World Test Championship Final- Australia v India- The Oval 07-11.06.2023

[The Wizard]

Ah the Aussies are still annoyingly good, bowling attack looks ominous.

 

[A1X]

Yeah I'm starting to get a nagging feeling of concern for the rest of this summer...

 

[Bold Seagull]

Ah the Aussies are still annoyingly good, bowling attack looks ominous.

We've given most of them a decent warm up in the County game too, now this at the Oval.

Can you imagine Cricket Australia allowing this to happen ahead of an Ashes series over there!?

 

[jakarta]

Kohli gone, India deep in the shit now. 83-4

 

[jakarta]

151-5

No point in batting again, get some practice in for the quicks 2nd dig?

 

[jakarta]

Bharat goes 2nd ball, 157-6, can't see this lasting very long.

 

[A1X]

Sake, all we needed was for India to force the Aussies to bowl themselves into the ground

 

[Eeyore]

Ah the Aussies are still annoyingly good, bowling attack looks ominous.

I have to say, this is making me a little bothered about our Ashes prospects.

Scotty Boland is a natural here. Sussex overseas player ?

I suspect they'll replace him with Hazelwood though. Such joy of luxuries.

Don't look at their top order batting averages either...

 

[Audax]

Bharat goes 2nd ball, 157-6, can't see this lasting very long.

Cummins giving Thakur a real working over. Has hit him 3 balls running - forearm twice, glove once.

 

[jakarta]

And a drop!

 

[jakarta]

First Session India have won 260-6 at Lunch.

 

[jakarta]

296 all out, 173 behind. Australia get another 250 & declare?

 

[jakarta]

Time to bounce this thread before Day 4 starts, I reckon another 100 from the Convicts will do them. No way India will get 400 chasing.

 

[jakarta]

Labuschagne goes, that was the one they wanted. 128-5, lead has gone past 300 however.

 

[Scappa]

Marcus out early, not long after a hit in the unmentionables

 

[Sid and the Sharknados]

Is that one of those rings they use for checking the size of balls in his right hand?

 

[jakarta]

350 lead up.

 

[jakarta]

201-6 at Lunch, 374 lead, not been the most exciting session. Could well be 450 lead.

 

[Eeyore]

I wonder if they'll be some Indian fans blaming the weather again this time.

The funniest one was during the World Cup when it was suggested we had planned the schedule against the elements to ensure England's progress. This having been done over a year beforehand.

 

[jakarta]

250 up, 251-6

424 lead, highest chase in Test Cricket was 418 so only one team in this.

When do they declare?
