2023 ICC World Test Championship Final

You can't tell a pitch till both teams have batted but it's got some demons in it.
Could be coming off ball dents from day one maybe?
Anyway, our bowlers would be licking their lips.
Can't wait to see us bowl.

Pitch looks to be quickening up. Reckon we will run through them

If we pitch it up and remain consistent we will steamroll them. They didn’t pitch it up enough when it mattered and the 2 LBW reviews on Marnus proved that. Sending a team in, letting them put 400+ on the board and failing to get anyone LBW is shithouse Test cricket.

You will destroy them and end an incredible Indian era. There have been signs if decline over the past couple years with India and I think it culminates here with them getting destroyed by a really good Aussie side. India are old outside of Gill (especially without pant and Bumrah) and have kind of been hanging on the last 18 to 24 months due to there home cooked pitches.

Hopefully their batters are in good enough form to actually nick up.
The balls moving a fair bit still.

[DOC]

Carey goes for 48. Terrible decision to give that not out.

Gaffaney lives up to his name.

Reverse sweep

[locky801]

Reverse sweep

Blokes got no brains, how many more times is he going to get out playing the shot, ball before plays a cricket shot and puts it out the park, probably cost us getting to 500

[tigerpie]

And after playing a proper cricket shot over long on for six.
He's bloody frustrating.

[RB]

Frustrating that we didn't get to 500 but certainly we're in a strong position.

[DOC]

Cummins should come in after Lyon.

Nah they have some absolute quality in the ranks and bat deep. They'll be fine out there.

I didn't realise how old they were until I went and had a look. Perhaps you are right and they could fall away.

[tigerpie]

Cummins should come in after Lyon.

He should be behind all them on recent form with the bat.
I thought he would really come on with the bat
But I'm so looking forward to watching him go through India with the Duke.

[Armchair expert]

Get Boland on immediately this is crud bowling
