ICC World Test Championship 2019/21 Final - General Discussions

[NILAYSHAH60]

Average deviation for NZ bowlers- 2.5°
Average deviation for Indian bowlers- 1°

Not much to do with conditions but with the way India have bowled. No intent shown. India are rather a little too complacent today.

Its lacquer folks relax even didn't lost any wickets untill the first 20 overs.

This is a slightly different variant of Dukes ball used for this Final event.

Agreed but NZ were still able to swing the new ball which Indian bowlers are not able to apart from Shami. Ishant is literally bowling in late 120s & early 130s which isn’t something expected out of an inform Ishant Sharma. Bumrah is also bowling defensive lines. They need go with an all out intent.

Agreed on the Ishant thing looks clearly unfit.

Bumrah has been a mis hit in tests since his return from that back Injury & basically Shami is a 2nd innings bowler who bowled really well.

A year ago, I'd never say this. MISSING SIRAJ!

NZ in driver's seat. India might well be looking at a 100-run deficit.

 

[Bigby Wolf]

The body language says it all.

The 4 which Williamson ran against Ashwin in which Bumrah had a bit of awkward fall the mannerism in which he picked up the reaction to follow sums up.

The Indian bowlers are frustrated not a good sign though.

I hope our bowlers introspect and realise what's wrong and we see some more swing tomorrow. NZ running away with this as of now.

Will there be a reserve day?

Will there be a reserve day?

Yes there will be one I guess. Because we are still left with 240 overs atleast if not more.

I'd be more surprised if they was play tomorrow looking at the forecast. Tuesday and Wednesday look better.

This is heading for a drew sadly.

There will be no play today so it doesn’t matter. The match is head for a draw. No point in discussing this game anymore.

You're grossly underestimating the impact of a collapse
