World Test Championship Final.

[k31th]

nice Michelle for Jamieson with a beauty of an inswinging yorker... and on a hat-trick to boot

 

[Plugger35]

And there's the 5'fer, that was plumb.

Jamieson on a hat trick now.

 

[k31th]

lol @ a wide half volley for your hat-trick ball... even Shami puts it to the boundary

 

[corbies]

Strange you wouldn't review with 2 left.

This has a Jadeja counter attack to get them to 250 written all over it.

yeah; nah.

 

[corbies]

yeah; nah.

Picked it beautifully again.

 

[corbies]

That's the lowest score in a World Test Championship final. Embarrassing from the Indians.

 

[Plugger35]

That's a great result for us from where India were at the start of play.

We have the advantage now but I think we'll find batting tough in these conditions too.

 

[to1994]

Really hope we get a result here. Nothing would be worse then India narrowly escaping with a draw.

That said, certainly a chance of NZ botching it with the bat. 260-70 would be perfect though.

 

[corbies]

Lol at Sunny Gavaskar admitting he saw none of the England New Zealand test series.

 

[Doss]

217 isn't a bad total given what the pitch has been doing.

As usual Indian fans now attacking Jamiesons family on Instagram.

Christ.

 

[Nuggetz]

Bumrah has been close on a few occasions. Pitch it fuller lad.

it's barely even raining... fair dinkum

Cricket will find any reason not to play cricket.

 

[Santana]

Need to get the most out of today because they're not getting much play tomorrow.

 

[Nuggetz]

What's up with the lack of crowds? Thought Indians would pack it out.

Covid restrictions. Only allowed 4000 in

 

[Plugger35]

Shami causing some problems.

 

[Santana]

India's pace attack better start getting more out of this ball or they better start hoping their spinners pull something out of the bag.

 

[Plugger35]

Slow going but the NZ openers have done their job seeing off the new ball, if they can get to tea no wickets down they'll be pretty happy.

 

[corbies]

Wasn't the greatest jump I've ever seen from Rahane there.

 

[Santana]

Pretty disappointing from India's bowlers so far apart from Shami (credit so far, wouldn't have picked him)

Surely New Zealand will put the foot on the pedal a bit after tea.

Call me negative nellie - but as much as I love my cricket it appears time lost has realistically removed the opportunity for either side to win this test - barring a massive batting collapse from the Kiwi's, then followed later by a sporting declaration from India...?

Any other realistic permutations for a 'result' you can see Plugger...?

Funny thing they had 18k in last week for edgbaston test

They have the option of playing into a 6th day to make up for lost time so I think a result other than a draw is still possible, a draw most likely though.
