World Test Championship Final.

[Plugger35]

Ashwin not looking all that comfortable with a few plays and misses and edges but he's still there and adding vital runs, need him gone ASAP.

 

[corbies]

If I know NZ's history in finals there is a high likelihood that they get within 10 runs of victory here before bad light stops play due to having to go off the reading from day 2.

I might be a bit ignorant here but how is Wagner allowed to bowl a bouncer every ball, isn't it limited to 2 an over? This is pretty much Bodyline tactics we're seeing right now

 

[Trojan90]

These commentators talking rubbish about getting a result, very few draws in English conditions and how great everything is!

Although I understand they are paid to do it, it's borderline deception the way cricket commentators always promote a contest and/or probable win for either team (while ignoring the obvious reality of the state of the match) solely to retain a viewing audience...

 

[Gethelred]

So Wagner's off, Jamison is getting a little in the air and it's kicking off a length sometimes, but batting does not look difficult.

Southee's getting a bit in the air though, and it's not gentle movement either. The sort of ball you'd think you have covered right up until you haven't got it.

And it isn't as though draws can't be captivating, either.

Pant gawn!!

Bloody decent catch too.

It's 2 over shoulder height. Alot of Wagner's bouncers are chest height or lower.

 

[corbies]

That is an unbelievably good catch.

 

[Plugger35]

Great catch from Nicholls and the dangerous Pant is gone, huge wicket.

 

[Marshland]

Game on boys!

 

[Gethelred]

Should've just played his reverse pull shot again.

 

[Plugger35]

Need to wrap the tail up quickly now.

 

[corbies]

That is an unbelievably good catch.

Weird pointing at an Indian in the crowd celebration too.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Boult gets Ashwin!!

India in deep pooh.

 

[Gethelred]

 

[katana]

couple of really dumb shots. where was this in january ffs

 

[Marshland]

8 down. Ding ding ding!

 

[PhatBoy]

Come on Kiwis. Write a new chapter for yourselves

 

[to1994]

Hope all those "it's a draw, no other result possible" people end up with egg on their face.

 

[Fat Nyfe]

India deserve to lose this

 

[Plugger35]

Ashwin gone with another loose shot.

The pressure getting to them.

 

[deanc]

Bookies going nuts! NZ now into $1.25, while a draw is suddenly out to $5.50...

 

[Jamurp]

Some truly awful batting from India here, NZ have been excellent though.
